You're supposed to sand the surface first and then apply the polyurethane, let it dry, prime, sand where you need to.
This is the video I saw it on

Printed on my Elegoo Saturn. I'm never going back to Shapeways ever again. 10c coin for scale.
Because Shapeways was incapable of producing a hollow enclosed object, I had to print them myself:
It wasn't perfect, but this is the first time I actually got a useable object from my print.
Not bad for an entry level printer, normally it's just for size checking.
Also working on a hand mod for Apeface so he can hold 5mm post weapons in his ape mode:
This one's still not finished, there are some clearance issues with his ape mode forearms.
But his hands function as I intended.
I'm looking to upgrade to a better 3D printer now, does anyone have any recommendations?
Ideally I'd like a tricolor printer, but the last one I tried was defective (Geeetech A10T), so are there other quality tricolor printers?
And given my negative experience with the A10T, I'd prefer a factory assembled non-Chinese printer.
Australia preferably, but would take American or Japan, as long as it's guaranteed to be reliable.
But I don't think we have Australian made 3D printers yet, so that might be an unrealistic expectation.
Halfway through a 13 hour print I knock the power brick loose. There goes a full bed of prints.
Oh ouch. That is painful. What are you making though?
Various parts, model parts, mech parts. Even though I hate the clean up, having a flex plate makes things a lot easier.
Printed some parts to turn a Bandai clone into animated Captain Rex.
Cool! How have you found your printer?
Which brings us to where we are today...
