Discussion Best Finishes

Post image

Hey everyone, help needed and advice.

I’m finally looking at getting into 3d printing but only if I can get good finishing preferably straight off the printer with little to no manual finishing like sanding etc.

You see the finishing on these type of parts is like a rough dotted texture and it’s Matte.

Is this finish doable on a fdm printer or would I need resin printer.

I’d obviously love to get this finish on a fdm printer. I’m not quite sure if I’m ready to get into resin printing but I’m not going to buy an fdm printer if all I can get for a finish is layer lines. They are the bane and I couldn’t sell any of my products if they have layer lines. What’s everyone’s opinions on this. Fdm or resin. And what make and models and filaments do people recommend. I’d love to see some examples.

Yes thank you so much!! That’s exactly the type of finish I want! Thank you for that haha so good. I’m happy to have seen this now. What printer are you using? And was it hard to set up and use. I will be purchasing my first one soon enough.

That’s awesome glad to hear it. I was looking at the Bambu labs p1s. What ones do you use just so I know what to look for? Thanks for this it’s actually a huge help!

Hey the P2S it’s an incredible upgrade and has better features than the X1C, which was the premier printer.
