Forget Acetone - Sandblast your 3D prints

[jimc]

sorry in my last post i said you need a large 2 stage compressor. i meant you dont need one. a smaller compressor, say 5-6 cfm will work but i dont know if you can find a nozzle that small for your blaster. if you cant then you will blast for a min or 2 then have to wait for the tank to refill. this is fine for something small but a real pia for anything larger. for anyone here in the us anyway, take a look on craigslist. people are getting rid of compressors all the time. you can probably pick up a really good quality used one for a few hundred bucks. a good compressor will last years and years. i know guys who have compressors that run daily that are 30,40,50 years old.

for those of you that have air and want to do this on the cheap then just get yourself one of these and just buy a bag of media and stick the tube right in the bag.
