    Another 3D print! This time a rough (low resolution) test print of a kind of hub cap for my pit bike wheels. Should be OK when printed a bit finer.
    Have fun!

    • I've used acetone to smooth out ABS prints before. works quite well. You can also sand and paint them quite successfully.

      We made up some centre caps a few years back for a mates car and had them chromed at A Class metal finishing in Lonsdale. They painted them with a conductive paint and then put them through the chroming process.

      They developed the process for repairing pot metal castings that were pitted and corroded. Pot metal is almost impossible to braze and weld and so are usually not repairable. They simply fix them up with car bog and then use this process to chrome them.
