humperdingle Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Has anyone tried the cold acetone method of smoothing / polishing their ABS armour? Here: http://youtu.be/biLVyGDvisM I don't have any spare bits of the same ABS that my armour is made of, so can't test it, but would be interesting to see what difference it makes (if any) to trooper armour.<br><br> P.s. Sorry about my non-US spelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tolo[TK] Posted February 7, 2016 Report Share Posted February 7, 2016 Don't do it on your armor. You will melt it. That's how you smooth out 3D printed items, by melting them. Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my iPhone 6 using Tapatalk Lol no, I wouldn't. Despite it being SDS armour, I still wouldn't I was just transfixed by how this works and makes the rough print so smooth and glossy. But if someone had a spare trooper moulding kicking around, it would make an interesting experiment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Voorhees[501st] Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 i tried acetone to remove some paint from armor once many many moons ago when i was still green...it ruins the armor, keep acetone FAR FAR away from your armor.
