Finishing

Trimming/Grinding:

• Deburring tool I use Noga’s heavy duty NG-1 model.

• Flush cutters aka diagonal pliers or wire cutters

• Files, narrow, diamond grit

• Coffee/spice grinder, for grinding filament

Sanding/Polishing:

• Sandpaper: 80/100, 150, 220, 320, and 500 grits

• 3M Wet or dry Polishing Papers

• Micro-Mesh Soft Touch Pads and Colored Sanding Sticks

• Sanding/polishing/buffing disks for rotary tool

• Novus Plastic Polish Kit

Finishing

Filling/Gluing/Painting/Sealing:

• Acetone for use with ABS objects (not PLA)

• Resealable container, acetone-resistant

• Enamel hobby paints such as Testors

• Acrylic paints

• Clear-coat spray paints I use Krylon Crystal Clear Acrylic, Matte Finish, and Triple Thick Crystal Clear Glaze; and Rust-Oleum Matte Clear and Gloss Clear.
