Guided shopping for 3D printed plastic parts
3D printed plastic parts often show layer lines, support marks and small surface defects before paint. A good finish comes from cleaning, controlled sanding, primer filler where needed and a plastic coating choice that suits the print material and the way the part will be handled.
