Hi guys,

After trying the acetone ABS method for ages, I came to the conclusion that acetone simply destroyed waaay to much details in my prints so i experimented with acetone and different spools of PLA. I found that at 0.1 layer height was also too much of a step to smooth, but 0.06 worked almost perfectly if your print is uninterrupted and no nozzle blocks, but with a touch of sanding it was litereally paint ready. I made two vids, one has an organic shape of a t-rex skull and the other very square geometric shapes.

I used tons of acetone ill admit, but just to fill one container that i leave in my garden and open to dip now.

Any ways here are the vids and to all those that really hate lines and dont mind waiting 27-33 odd hrs for a nice high res print this is in my opinion the easiest way to achieve VERY nice surface finish on your objects. All the detail is preserved and a slight gloss is also attained, but not silly melted glossy like the acetone vapour method.

Take care handling large amount of acetone, but once you have youre tub, you just keep reusing it.

I do things much safer now BTW. Results are the same.
