In this video, I take you through the entire process of how I smooth my PLA 3D prints for a resin-like result. This Super Mario print came off the printer a little rough so I thought it would be helpful to show you how I smooth out all the layer lines and imperfections. I show you exactly how I sand, putty, and prime this print step by step. This process take a lot of time and patience but I think it's totally worth it.
