  Another option for adding weight is a product called "liquid gravity"; like the steel BBs, it's small metal beads, but its intended market is scale modeling — adding weight to models so they sit right (most model aircraft with tricycle landing gear don't have enough weight in the front to keep the nose wheel on the ground, so it's necessa to add weight to the nose); the beads are smaller than standard BBs to fit into small models, so they may be better for 3D prints with smaller sections that need to be weighted where the BBs won't fit easily.

  Thanks, I've been so curious about those little sanding pens but they're just above my threshold for 'buy one to see if it's any good as a thing' in terms of cost. Next time I'm obsessed with sanding again, I'll look for one of those!

  Plastic razors! Best tool to pry most prints off the print plate. Sure, there are materials and occasions plastic razors are no good, but the point is that it’s my go to tool for getting prints off the plate without scrapping the coating on the print plate. And it has millions of other uses in the house. Also, it’s cheap, cheap, cheap!

  Pcbway is so awesome they changed the material half way through an already paid invoice to a cheaper material to save a few pennies without letting me know . Only once I received item there was a cheaper cost invoice with their I requested cheaper material change. And they they reimburse me for the the change and cheaper invoice without me calling them? Nope. I had to call and say wtf. Companies change to cheaper materials in hopes you won’t notice to save pennies… got refund after a bunch of bs in the end . Never again

  For gluing Tamiya Extra Thin Quick-Setting Cement.  Works on PLA, PETG and ABS.  It melts the plastic together and creates a weld.  For SBS I am using Tamiya Limonene Cement.  It does the same thing, but is able to dissolve SBS.
