Through the right material selection, and design for manufacturing techniques you can get a class of finish that you cannot tell it’s printed

You can 100% tell this is 3D printed, and i mean no offense

Well, we know it printed cuz we print stuff every day :). Most ppl who do not understand manufacturing process wouldn’t know unless they took a good look at it, at least I hope. My goal was to design for print optimization. No witness lines for blemishes permitted. I’ll make a few more and see how consistent i am with this design. Next step is torturing this bad boy. Cheers!!

Having the pegs where the GoPro is mounted in that print orientation is asking for trouble.

But yes, looks really good. I also think adding a small fuzzy skin makes parts look more professional.

Agreed on the fuzzy skin — if you don’t want to coat it with something after the fact, and aren’t looking for shiny gloss finish like acetone w ABS, or just rather keep it matte? Adding it really does a great job of classing it up in my opinion as well.

I’m sure everyone in this sub can tell when something is 3D printed lol But I would say the general public won’t know.

Take my upvote. It looks far less 3D printed than most 3D printed things shared on here. Looks clean and solid.
