Printing and finishing with PC

hi everyone, I just started printing with pc but other then hand sanding is there a quicker method using a chemical compound similar to acentone with abs? Or maybe a polishing compound. Any suggestions would help thanks

I would recommend trying XTC-3D to get your surface smooth before painting or sanding more. It has saved me hours of sanding and filler primer coats. It’s also clear if you want to show the original color.

Thanks for the advice, Funny thing is that I work closely with smooth-on and their products so I have it right in front of me. Although I initially was using it on ABS prints, I found that acetone treatment, and an ABS based paint would be more cost efficient, since I have a tone of left over ABS on spools, I use it as my filler.

Back to the XTC-3D I hav not tried it on the PC, I will test it out today

Thanks again!
