For part interface with fuzzy skin you can also make an objet modifier (at least in prusa) so that only the outer shell is fuzzied.

you could even improve the look and get around the fitting issue as well by modifing your 3D model with an actual texture you like. Use any texture you find as a displacement and convert it into the mesh itself. there are a lot of tutorials on how to achieve this in blender. With this method you are able to add variations of your product and by masking the sections where it needs to fit other parts you are ready to go.
@jakemgrim5 күн бұрын
Thank you for the suggestion! Using displacement textures in Blender to add detailed surface textures directly into the mesh is a great idea and could indeed offer more control over the final appearance and fitting issues. I appreciate the tip about masking sections where parts need to fit together, as that would certainly help maintain the necessary tolerances. I'll definitely look into some Blender tutorials on this technique to see how I can integrate it into my workflow for future projects. Thanks again for the valuable input!

I get that this is to avoid the PP, but if you did want a smooth looking piece then it seems like the fuzz might still be better than normal printing, being random and thus without the obvious pattern of the layer lines seems like it would take less sanding and filling to get a mostly smooth look. 🤔🤔
@jakemgrim5 күн бұрын
That's an interesting point, Joe! The fuzzy skin texture can indeed help reduce the visibility of layer lines, making it a good option even if you plan to smooth the piece later. The randomness of the fuzz could mean less sanding and filling compared to dealing with uniform layer lines. It's definitely worth experimenting with if you're aiming for a smoother finish with less post-processing effort. Thanks for the insight!

Applying the fuzzy skin texture selectively to certain parts of the model could offer the best of both worlds-hiding imperfections where needed while keeping other areas smooth for fitting or aesthetic purposes.

You're correct! Acetone is indeed volatile, and vapor smoothing can be achieved by suspending the 3D print above a container of acetone in a sealed environment. This allows the acetone vapors to interact with the surface of the print, effectively smoothing out layer lines and imperfections. It's an alternative method to heating acetone directly, and it can produce excellent results when done carefully and safely. Thanks for clarifying!

I personally don’t understand why people go through such lengths to hide the fact that a thing was 3D printed. As of writing this comment, 3D printing is still a novelty. It is reaching the point quickly where most people can just buy one, but it is still a new and cool concept. I feel that for many people, owning something that was 3D printed would be a cool novelty. Not only do you have an alarm clock, but you have something that someone created with a little machine in their house. I understand that in some applications it is good to hide the fact that something was printed, mostly with cosmetic parts like cosplay props or things you want to have look like they were professionally made, but for me it doesn’t make much sense to go about trying to hide the fact that a thing you’re selling out of your house is 3D printed.

While there are certainly situations where concealing the 3D printed nature of an object may be desirable, such as in certain aesthetic or professional contexts, embracing the technology and its distinctive characteristics can also be a selling point. Ultimately, it comes down to individual preferences and the specific requirements of each project. Thanks for sharing your perspective!

you really should give Resin Printing another try. you said something about your parts being brittle ? its probably because of Over Cooking it in the UV, or Under Curing during mfg. with Halot Mage - most of the resins ive played with have a cure time of 2-5 seconds per layer - so if youre doing anything at 1.2, its not enough and will rip apart. and take the supports Off BEFORE you UV Cure the parts. not after. you can use Warm Water to soften the supports and it REALLY HELPS them pop right off. especially if you have TONS of supports. just let it soak for 30sec, then pull some off, and repeat. dont let it soak for 2min or you will hurt the model. and not 180°F water either.
