Thread: What are you working on?

That's actually what I've been using.

Gold in the jimps is a good thing..

Okay...I'm waiting for some kind of Art Of War type reason.

The coarse ones ? Grey or yellow. I forget the colour

The kit I have has a bronze and a white. The bronze seems to be more coarse.

You know how wives love industrial machinery in their kitchen.

My brother has had a 3D printer for several years. He loves it and has made many, many useful and unique things with it.

A number of years ago a friend of a friend made some 3D razor scales and brought them to my home. They had a bit of a coarse texture so I tried to sand them. That did not work at all. The plastic was just too abrasion-resistant.
Hopefully, some of the newer plastics will be better.

Update, I just searched for a 3D filament that could be glossy direct from the 3D printer.

I think I heard you or someone mention that before which I told my son about. What he says agrees with what you have said, that the filaments available are better now than they were.
