the dirty trooper Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Has anyone tried the acetone vapor trick for the 3D ridges instead of sanding for the E-22? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin-X Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 It will depend on the filament material. PLA does not work so well with AV treatment. If you're using PLA (or any other filament with zipper lines), you can use XTC-3D. It's pretty good. You basically mix it up and paint/smooth it on the material. It dries hard and fills in the zipper lines. Then you can sand and paint accordingly. I've had great success with this stuff. https://www.filabot.com/products/xtc-3d-high-performance-3d-print-coating?utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=googlepla&variant=1036292252&gclid=CIO30qX37NICFQIdaQodz-8DNA 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fraktilfilth Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 You can use Ethyl Acetate to smooth pla prints. You have to be quite careful as the heat to create the vapour is also enough to start warping smaller parts Sent from my ONEPLUS A3003 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
