Finishing 3D prints - Filling and sanding print lines for props

Filling 3D prints to remove the filament lines is essential to creating finished props. In this tutorial I talk about the process generally, and then show my favorite method using Bondo Glazing and Spot Putty thinned with acetone to rapidly apply fast-drying coats. I then sand the filler smooth, and move to using a final pass of Filler Primer, that gets wet-sanded smooth. A final coat of primer reveals the smooth surface, ready for paint.
Important: Acetone melts ABS, so this will not work with ABS prints without likely destroying the print below. The prints in this video are all PLA.

I've been wanting to do props my entire life since I was a little kid. Was about to take my shot at a clone trooper arc helmet and was discouraged watching videos on how to do it because everyone's props weren't up to my standards. They had print lines and/or looked chunky and janky (which I now know is too much bondo and lack of sanding). This guy had me hooked right from the start with his piece he showed off. Thanks for restoring my hope! I'm super pumped to get my print started!

Thanks again Colin for taking the time to document the processes you employ! I wanted to offer two additional tips in sanding if you or someone else wants to try it out. 1) for wet sanding try adding a drop of dish soap to your water and the sand paper will glide over the surface and keep the paper even cleaner. This especially works well on the higher grit numbers like 600+ And 2) I use a sanding sponge or even a scrap of EVA to wrap the paper around so you don’t accidentally get finger marks in surfaces. The soft eva will contour to the surface well. Happy crafting!

The Bondo technique is a great way to get it done. I am a woodworker and use a similar techniques with grainy woods, especially Red Oak. I mix drywall mud with water to a pancake batter consistency, then paint it on the wood. After one sanding, the grain is usually filled and once painted, the appearance is perfectly smooth. Great video!

Just a few suggestions/observations for consideration. My current method is to give the part a quick sand with 120grit to knock down any real high spots. I then do a fairly light spray of filler primer. In my experience filler primer will gum up sandpaper if you don't allow it to cure. If you sand too early, the primer is quite soft, but a day or so later it wet sands without any gummy residue or buildup. I sand my initial primer layer down to where I can see the original print. I do this because as the name suggests it is filler primer. Spraying on primer really thick may fill, but the more product you put on the more you change the dimensionality of the part. In my opinion you want the filler primer to fill the layer lines, but only to where the low and high peaks are equalized. Minimal material. Then, I go in with the Bondo. From what I have read, Bondo is actually quite soft even when cured. The function of the product is actually to fill in "spots" of scratches and such. It isn't really designed to fill in deep lines. I suspect a 2-part bondo is more appropriate for this. Using the Bondo as a spot putty means I don't have to use much of it. Only where things are deep are where I need to concentrate it full strength. After drying for a few hours I wet sand this (to keep dust down). Then, I go over the part again with a few thin layers of filler primer. I wait a day or so then wet sand it down with 400 grit. I usually burn through in a few spots, but it is okay because at this point it is quite smooth. I check once again for any parts that might need Bondo, then hit the part with the final few light layers of primer. After a day or so, I wet sand with 800 grit very lightly just to get it all smooth. I try to avoid burning through edges. I find doing it this way wastes way less product. It also avoids filling detail with Bondo/paint that needs to be sanded out or sculpted out with a tool. As mentioned, I also don't think thick applications of Bondo are the most durable, so I try to keep the product(s) just thick enough to bring the low spots and high spots to the same level. Finally, it seems to cut down on added weight. Lathering on product adds a lot of bulk to parts which adds up over the entire costume/prop. There are of course hundreds of methods and I think the one in the video is great. But, perhaps someone might try the method I outlined above to see if it works.
@OddViking
@OddViking 4 ай бұрын
That is a good process. In the end my method doesn't add significant weight or build up, it is still a minimal layer to get it perfectly smooth. But I love that there are dozens of paths to the same result, and your method sounds great too!

This is a great tutorial. It too have tried everything and settled on a process that is basically exactly this. Occasionally I'll apply a layer of XTC-3D before doing a final wet sand/primer/wet sand. Doing this makes the surface a bit more scratch resistant since the bondo and filler primer are both so soft.

I've used allot of these methods and the one that I find that works extreamly well is UV resin for resin printers specially for extreamly deep print lines like on the top of the helmet it fills in well and in some cases self levels if you hold it perpendicular to the ground on flat surfaces and it can be easily sanded. It can be cured with a UV light or left in the sun for up to 5 minutes to fully cure then I will go over it with filler primer to fill in the minor layer lines. I've acutally done a full Mando helmet with the UV resin in one day fully smoothed and with a light sanding to create a good paint surface to stick to it was ready to paint the next day with gloss black and then the finally finished off with graphite powder for the shinny chrome look.

If you use wet or dry 3M sandpaper you can sand with water. It'll keep you from breathing in all the dust and keep the sandpaper from clogging up. I also recommend using sanding blocks. I use Dura-Block but they aren't cheap. Also, be aware that glazing putty was meant to fill in pits and tiny scratches so it is going to be soft. Even fully cured it's soft. One can use light weight body filler bondo thinned with fiberglass resin but it will be more difficult to work with.

Couple of ideas for you. 1) debuting tool for edges 2) heat gun or little flamer burner will reduce a lot 3) seems on some parts you can force the seem to inside of part. 4) Variable layer near the top Leila save stair casing 5) increase top and bottom layers so you don’t blow through Into infill when sanding 6) use acetone with abs to make a glue or use acetone to glue abs parts directly - abs welding

I keep start and stopping my first project which is a full mandolarian armor. I got the full suit like 70% and just was taking forever. I wish I had this video 2 yrs ago. I going to get it another try now.

I would love to see a video on how you add a metallic finish to your prints as you mentioned at 0:54. I’ve been trying to do that on my own with spray paint. I got one spray paint was retired so I could only buy it off of eBay called Revell chrome spray. From what I’ve seen it’s the only spray paint that actually works as chrome with its mirror finish. Anyways well done on this fully comprehensive video. I just subscribed. I’m looking forward to seeing more of your content.

getting a mirror chrome is not easy, and not really as possible from a rattle can. the best one of those options is Spaz Stix, but it really takes an airbrush to get a true mirror metallic look. The two vital steps is a mirror glossy black base layer, and then once metallic, only a 2-part 2K gloss can coat it without dulling the metallic. 2K requires a lot more to apply it, including a vapor level respirator, but that’s the only way. I mix it and spray it with an HPLV gun, but it does come in a can that you can use for only 48 hours once mixed. all other clears will dull metallics by micro-lifting the flakes that make it chrome. so it’s tricky to achieve, and even trickier to film for me with the respirator.

@@OddViking thank you for the advice. I will definitely be thinking about that when it comes to getting a good chrome finish.

great tutorial and knowledge as always! Big fan of bondo and Acetone myself! I actually use isopropyl instead of acetone though cause thats what I had on hand and I found it works the same! haha also highly suggest silicone cups for the mix, easy to reuse and clean!

Great video! You spent a lot of time talking about the process and really appreciate that! I've been wanting to try the acetone and bondo method for awhile. On another note: Have you tried using Clear UV resin? I'm actually getting better at using two thin layers of UV resin and its been working pretty good as long as you pay attention to overlap or globs etc. Cheers and thanks for the video!

I have tried it, and it works pretty well. For me the sanding works easier on Bondo, and the control (like brushing it out of fine details so I don’t loose them) is better with this.

Nice informative video, thanks. But when you're sanding, you should always try to use a flat surface. You could end up with grooves, curves or radiuses where you don't want them, just a tip. Nice work, keep it up:) PS: This is nothing against you, but I do have a personal gripe against crushed and bent tubes of stuff xD just start rolling from the back, then you get to use it all:) Edit: Had not come to the point where you described sanding blocks. Sorry. Love your work.
