Tips/Techniques 3DP Post Processing

I must have missed this when it was first posted, but it’s very timely anyway. I’ve decided I “need” a tool grinder and have decided on the quorn. Onshape has a few good user posted 3D cad models. I started off printing as “finished” parts to see how things fit together. I quickly realized I could easily modify them into casting patterns. These should pull from a sand mold after a bit of post processing. I’m still attempting to make the two base patterns the traditional way.

I have a Quorn from the original castings. If you need anything during your build, ping me.

John you need to make a full thread on your build. Very interested to see the entire build.
