Thank you so much to all of you who visited our stand and who attended the @ workshop on Saturday and a huge thank you to @Alexander_8 for hosting! Hope you all had a great time and I cannot wait to see your prints. @3Dimodels, @, @Michele_Bernard, @bmatt, @Jeffrey_1, @Melissa_2, @Roy_Chan and @ please do share your ProtoPasta CF and Stainless Steel prints with us here? We’d love to see what you get up to and read about your experience with the filaments.

@Alexander_8, would you share your super tip for ‘finishing’ your special filament prints with us?

@toymaker2 The tumbler shown in the right hand side of the pic is a brass tumbler that can be used with coarse (hardware such as small nuts and bolts) to softer medium (crushed walnut shells with added polish solution is a standard). It is similar to a rock tumbler but I find that the design is far more robust and will last longer with heavy use. Like using a rock tumbler, the process of abrasion or smoothing (depending on medium) takes some time. This is a “set it and forget” it form of print finishing. The product can be purchased here for a reasonable price due to its prevalence in other industries: Robot or human?

There are other models available at sites like Harbor Freight as well.

Thanks for sharing! It’s all in the finish with these special filaments!

I was there and got to meet @Alexander_8 and attend the workshop. It was great! Got me interested in ProtoPasta and I already ordered my first spool.
