That's sharp! How do you do the smoothing--is it a paint technique?

Two thick coats of clear nail polish ( from the dollar store ), sanding and then a coat of primer with filler. I bit of work but turned out nice.

Incredible job on the finish. I see none of the telltale ridges of 3d printing.

Please tell me you're selling these...

Yes and no. Unfortunately with my life the way it is, while I have free time I still hve to be a available to help my mother so doing the full finishing treatment is something I can't plan on. Things I don now are done a bit at a time and some stuff sits around for a while.

That said, 3d printing the parts for someone that what to give it a go themselves is totally doable. Sort of like a model kit. In fact I have a set of parts printed, the chair is slightly different as the buttons are separate printed pieces. I was going to see if it was easier to paint.
