Notes
Sanding
able adjust how smooth we want the surface to be
can be accurate in a way since we are sanding the parts that we want
could make a mistake of sanding to much
if it is a large part, time consuming to sand the whole part

acetone does its job to smooth our the surface
takes only about an houronly
must be printed with ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene)
which gives toxic chemical when heated
shrinks when it is cold
not suitable
