here are the two parts with the support material removed. you'll notice the prints look really smooth compared to how they looked before. although i use ABS, smoothing the models with acetone is out of the question. acetone is actually quite difficult to get ahold of in my country because of it's history as a component in bombs and cocaine production. so instead, i use Sand Paper and lots of patience to smooth my prints.
if you look closely you'll also notice some "pinkish" areas on the forehead. this is an automotive putty known as Bondo. normally it is used to fill holes in a vehicle after a crash. i use it to fill small holes and defects in the printing process, and then sand it smooth. bondo works well for this for two reasons. it is designed to be sanded, and it is designed to be painted.
this process took five hours for these two parts.
total work time excluding the modeling process so far:
-6 hours preparing the model for printing.
-13 hours printing these two pieces
-5 hours smoothing the surface of these two pieces.
overnight I'll have the printer print the next two parts.
