The-Strike Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 So I purchased some 3D printed parts for a scout trooper helmet. The helmet is going to be used for some unique "cosplay" sort of use, and will be subject to a certain degree of abuse, so I didn't want to shell out for a real nice, totally accurate replica. However, I do want it to be finished out nicely. Any tips on sanding and finishing of 3D printed material? What products work best for getting that surface smooth and paintable? Also, it didn't come with a visor. Any advice on a good place to shop for one of those? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f3tt4l1f3 Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 LOTS of filler primer and spot putty. Plus wet sanding, wet sanding, wet sanding, and more wet sanding. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
