    Newbie here (Flashforge X should be here next week)
    Watched a few YouTube videos on home-brew vapour polishing.
    It seems they almost all use a glass jar or metal tin with the acetone boiling at the bottom.
    They consistently seem to be smooth on the bottom and rougher on the top
    I would think this is because of the temperature differential from the bottom to the top.
    Has anyone tried insulating their jars/cans & letting the temp stabilize before tossing in the ABS?
    The unit that Timaz posted seems to be insulated ( and perhaps internal fans for circulation?).
    Also, it seems some folks use nail polish remover, and others real acetone.
    I would assume real acetone would be more consistent, as nail polish remover has varying contents of acetone.
