I made a cube. That's kind of cool, right guys? Still setting it up

What about Pokémon? Pokémon are still cool, right?

actually reasonably happy with how this came out. there's a few sections that aren't quite 100%, but it's mostly good.
I might have to try to print something useful now

my first useful "thing". An Ay-Up light mount.
As best as i can assess, it's perfectly functional

still a couple of issues identified, but i'm getting there.

That would be so much fun!! Do you do anything to finish it now like paint it? Or just leave it raw?

so far, left everything raw, though there is the temptation to get the air brush and paint out to finish off the Pokemon
It's interesting watching these things being built up layer by layer

You can do some vapor smoothing with acetone on your objects.

depends on the material you print with. Acetone works with ABS I believe, but not so much with PLA which is what I'm printing with.

Can do the same with PLA. Depending on ratios of material and strength of Acetone, only a difference of time.
