Update post: -PETG is a little bit easier to sand by hand but theres practically no difference with the palm sander. Faces with greater imperfection and layer height differences are much easier to sand in PETG but flat faces with normal layer lines feel easier to sand in PLA with the palm...

interesting I've used PETG before and might still have a spool of it I was going to use my PLA+ spool as a backup when i run out of this PLA but thought it would be harder to sand I'll see what how much easier it is when i switch them out (y)

Wait... PLA isn't standard for prop making?

Update post: Used the filler on the failed print, quickly sanded it and repainted it and it came out really good. You can tell in the picture which faces I sanded and which faces I left as-is. (Obviously the deeper layer lines will need bondo or wood filler.) I noticed anything higher than...

Picked up a cordless palm sander and put a coat of wood filler on the front face since the hardware store was out of bondo but even after one pass theres a serious difference! I only sanded (80 grit) the rough connector portion for now until the next piece prints (4.5 hr print failed at 90%...

Yeah the more I think about it the more I'm looking into a palm sander Another benefit I've noticed from doubling the nozzle size is a little bit more heat tolerance so it should help that it likely won't burn as fast as standard. I'll pick one up tomorrow and post results

Im trying out a helmet build using my trusty Ender 3. I've used it for other projects before but i never needed to worry about the layer lines so I replaced the .4mm nozzle with a .8mm nozzle when I got a resin printer. I did this because it literally halved the time of the prints (so long as I...

Hi all I’m new to cosplay and decided to learn the foam workflow by making shoulder pads. After a few attempts I finally have 2 shoulders that are good enough to paint but I’m going to learn to paint on the old ones before I ruin these good ones. Im using Kwik Seal caulk for the seams on a...
