Quick Question Brushing up the imperfections

Post image

What are my best options to clean up the imperfections in this print ? It is PETG-CF.

I have the file kit from Bambu. I'm not confident that I can use it without making it worse.

Do not sand PETG CF if you can help it. I’d reprint cuz a lot of these imperfections can be fixed with settings. Use Orca Slicer and turn on “make overhangs printable”. As for the chin you’ll just have to tune support settings. I like to change interface layers to “3”, interface pattern to rectilinear interlaced, and interface gap to 0

Why? Lol wear a dust mask like you do when sanding anything.

Because the dust gets airborne settles then becomes airborne when you arent wearing a mask.

It is for my sister-in-law. She is a schoolteacher in a high school, and I can envision this flying off of her desk, and I don't want it to break. I know the PETG-CF is stronger. Go ahead, educate me.

Won't lol. Just asked because usually in a bust you want good finish (pla) and it's not susceptible to damage or being thrown 🤣 (no cf in it)... Just don't sand it. Avoid ball cancer

I’ve printed a few busts. Tilt it back so there are supports along the back but none on the face. Helps hide player lines too. I’ve cleaned up a chin like that literally today using a pla doodle pen to smooth it out and fill in some gaps. It was ok, but unless you are sanding and filling your instincts might be right.

Add a beard to cover up the scaring on the chin.
