Acetone smoothing / polishing of armour?


Recommended Posts

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 :D

Don't do it on your armor. You will melt it. That's how you smooth out 3D printed items, by melting them.

Lol no, I wouldn't. Despite it being SDS armour, I still wouldn't :D

 

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.
