Two for the road

The first two of three ordered are here, lots to do now. I dont think the altered will sit on its wheels in display the fronts are insanely delicate.

So what're you gonna use for the dimples sometimes left by the supports? I've only done a couple of full on 3D print kits, so curious about your MO.

These prints are really good, the sprew is very tiny were it connects to the piece, it leaves almost nothing for dimples. First chop through the supports with small side cutters to remove the pc, then pop off whats left on the part with your fingers, i use a fresh razor knife on the tiny dimples, diamond burs and cut off wheel for heaver stuff if needed, but these prints are very well done to minimize cleanup.

Hey brother i dont know how these slipped my mind i use them every day. These are diamond impregnated silicone wheels, they take the nibs off instantly. The company carries everything for jewelry making, i get two kinds of silicone wheels + carbide and diamond burs. They have thousands of different things. And they do ship to Canada or you can drive over and get stuff i think they are in Vermont.
