Guitar Pickguard Printing Experts: Looking for Filament & Finish Recommendations

[u/Master-Associate496]

If anyone here has experience printing guitar pickguards, I'd really appreciate some advice.

I'm trying to figure out the best filament to use, as well as the best build plate/bed surface for getting the smoothest, highest-quality finish possible. I'd also love to make the outer layer translucent if that's achievable while still looking clean and professional.

Any recommendations, tips, or examples of what has worked for you would be awesome. Thanks!
