Smooth 3D Prints with Acetone Vapour<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

 <\/p>\n

In order to print a beautiful and shiny part you don’t need to have an expensive 3D printer with high\u00a0<\/span>resolution. \u00a0Even with higher resolutions the quality of a 3D printed part is limited and the post processing would be\u00a0a requirement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Using the techniques introduced in this post, you will enjoy creating the parts with really excellent finish and appearance disregarding printing\u00a0resolutions. And more importantly you will save a lot of printing time, energy and money by avoiding the time consuming high resolution 3D printing.<\/span><\/p>\n

And here are the methods….<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3D Printing Smoothing<\/strong><\/h3>\n

This page focuses on following 3 different smoothing methods :<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Smoothing using Solvent , Primer and Colour\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Using Acetone Vapour for smoothing<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Smoothing using Epoxy\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    We should\u00a0keep in mind to consider safety precautions especially in relation to the first 2 methods because they use highly inflammable materials as solvents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    The important benefit about all these methods is that you\u00a0are transferring the time consuming steps of part manufacturing from the 3D printer to the post processing activities. In other words you don’t need to spend a lot of time printing the parts with minimum layer thicknesses for better appearance qualities. You just print quickly\u00a0with minimum quality and then improve it with the\u00a0above methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Smoothing using Solvent , Primer and Colour\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

    \u00a0This method uses 3 following easy steps:<\/span><\/p>\n

      \n
    • Use solvent to remove the uneven high points of the part. ( Remove the hills )<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Use primer to cover the low points of the part. ( Fill the valleys )<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Cover the part with your favourite colour and coating to create the beauty in your parts<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      CAPINC Youtube Channel<\/a><\/span> has prepared this really interesting and helpful video. \u00a0We don’t intend to repeat the words. Just enjoy the video and\u00a0use it to create beautiful parts.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
