Custom Antenna cover for a Porche!

Designed by my brother XyZeR, printed and smoothed by me: A custom fin to cover the antenna on a Porche.

The part was printed in ABS, smoothed using a hot acetone vaport bath, then further sanded and painted. Glued with TEC7 to the roof.

Let's try acetone vapor treated parts!

I've printed quite a few test-Marvins now in ABS, let's throw one of them in an acetone vapor bath!

The setup: big glass jar, a little bit of acetone, a small 'table' that fits in the jar and a heatbed. 

Put the jar with acetone on the heatbed at 100°C and put the ABS piece in the vapor for a couple of minutes.

The result: smooth parts!


Warning: Acetone is very flammable and the fumes are not very healthy!
