I use 3m spot filler, works very well.. then go over with a nice plastic primer (car rattle can)

Acetone bath (or for that matter "vapour smoothing" with acetone) only works on ABS or ASA. And it's nasty. I do my own printing, and don't care about the time it takes to print, so I go for high resolution (0.08mm layers), sometimes a small blast with a small torch, sanding and putty. I have yet to try dipping or spraying with resin but I've seen nice results with that.

Well, Rob, you do get around. I'd forgotten this thread, However, the YouTube link did provide this useful video on using resin as a filler,

Hi all,

I have used the above mentioned 3D XTC product, and I really enjoyed it.
It is a 2 component laquer like paint and it cures pretty fast.


This was my first experience with a 3D printed kit and the 3D XTC stuff, but will do and use it again!

With regards,

Thanks, Rob for the recommendation!.
For anyone wishing to try it, I see that it can be had via Amazon.co.uk and other sites. Here's one that looks decent:
