    Postprocessing with a Heat Gun

    I haven't seen this mentioned, and I do it all the time, so I thought I'd share.

    Good idea, never thought of it. But... what are you trying to accomplish and what are you seeing? I ask more for clarity than actual confusion.

    Yeah, in hindsight, the video doesn't showcase the results like I expected it to. I'll get some better footage this week.

    The lighter colored ABS from where trimming or filing has been done gets melted back into the primary object.

    Good idea. I'l try that sometime. If you have on hand a video showing more clearly the benefit, I'd be interested.
