STEP BY STEP

The rest of the supports can be cleaned most

easily with modelling files or sanding sponges.

If you can see a slight layering on some sections

of some parts, it can be sanded with 1500 grit or

finer sanding sponges.

I clean some of the more fragile parts partially attached to the supports

for better handling. The parts do not twist as much and damage to them

is minimized during cleaning.

For more complex parts where sanding

isn’t really an option, the light raster can be

treated by scrubbing with a coarse brush

dipped in pure isopropyl alcohol.

Medium or thick CA glue is used to affix the smaller parts.

Due to the high accuracy of 3D printed parts, individual

components can first be assembled dry and then thin glue

can be applied, allowing capillary action to do its thing.

Excess glue can be removed with a debonder.
