Well, it's 3d printed, so, yeah, probably shitty because printed on the faster settings.

- robertlangdon 7y agoHey, Yes it 3D printed, we wanted to test the prototype. If you have any suggestions do let us know. Thanks!
- SrslyJosh 7y agoI think some combination of paint, sanding, and clearcoat would clean it up to the point of looking like it came out of a mold. If you search for something along the lines of "paint and sand 3d print" or "finish 3d print" you'll find lots of different articles.
- tasogare 7y agoWhat is the expected retail price? The information is not present on the page but it’s a really important one. Edit: $59 mentioned lower in the thread.
- bsdubernerd 7y agoYou should expect much better results for a 3d print nowdays. For a prototype which is expected to drive some interest 3d printing is fine, but print at 0.15 layers and do a couple of runs of sanding combined with filler before applying some paint. The case will look just like a regular finished product. I do this for custom projects where I want a perfect finish and/or show-off prototypes. The layering is really annoying for some people. For a final product, depending on the sale numbers, injection molding might be the only option. SLS and MJF give a very nice result, but the price range where they're economically viable is very narrow.
- numpad0 7y agoWell, 3D printers does far better with quality parts, dry PLA and in expert hands, and thus people are stupid, except it works so they are not.
