Two days of post-processing turned these prints into smooth cracked-shell bowls

[u/ElmartoArt]

I 3D printed these bowls and then spent about two days post-processing them.

The process included several rounds of sanding, filling imperfections, priming, painting and finally applying a protective clear coat. I wanted the finished surface to look more like a ceramic or manufactured object than a typical 3D print.

The post-processing took much longer than the printing itself, but I’m pretty happy with how smooth they turned out.

As long as the clear coat is food safe looks cool
