meade916 Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 I was milling out some single din, triple LED kits for my SMD products when i noticed my ABS flat stock was very ugly. I tried everything to polish it and everything just made it worse. Till i remembered an old trick usually used in the 3d printing world. Watch this video and see how i fixed a bad situation! I was really excited to see this work! I know it isn't a standard "bass" video. But sometimes we need to learn stuff to....thanks for watching 3 Quote All SMD products + MORE available at my store here! https://wccaraudio.com/ Subscribe to My Youtube Channel!

Wishuponasub Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 Pretty neat. Its like it melts just enough of the outer layer for it to self level. That's pretty sweet. Going to check out the store now. I actually need a double lol.

Markous Posted February 9, 2018 Report Share Posted February 9, 2018 (edited) From wikipedia, Quote Vapor polishing is a method of polishing plastics to reduce the surface roughness or improve clarity. Typically, a component is exposed to a chemical vapor causing the surface to flow thereby improving the surface finish. This method of polishing is frequently used to return clear materials to an optical quality finish after machining. Vapor polishing works well in the internal features of components. Feature size changes of the plastic component generally do not occur. Post stress relieving is usually required as vapor polishing sets up surface stresses that can cause crazing. Plastics that respond well to vapor polishing are polycarbonate, acrylic, polysulfone, PEI, and ABS. The technique is also being used to improve the surface of objects created with 3D printing techniques. As the printer deposits layer upon layer of material to build the object, the surface is often not entirely smooth. The smoothness of the surface can be greatly increased by vapor polishing.[1] Has that crazing ever been an issue with pieces you've done Steve? Very cool, thanks for showing us that Steve ??

Good shit as always Steve! Quote Build Log: http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/152954-1998-plymouth-neon-updates/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
