Did the print complete but not turn out or did the printer stop early with an error?

Check out Formlabs resin printers. They have special resins that may do what you need. They also have sales people on staff to walk you through everything.

They’re pretty pricey for a hobbyist (at least for this hobbyist) but a business may be ok with it.

10-4. I hear you.

For labs sells a biocompatible resin for medical use. I’ll probably end up switching to that.

I just looked in to a vibratory tumbler, they aren’t cheap!

Thanks!

Everything I found said that cured resin is inert. I did see that there are biocompatible resins out there but they seem to be mostly used in dental applications. I’ll keep searching though.

Elegoo clear blue ABS like resin.

I’ve thought about attaching a jar to my drill and turning the part in some kind of medium.

What kind of parameters need adjusting for your process?

Appreciate that detailed explanation. I probably should have put something in the picture for scale. This is about 2.5cm in diameter. Not sure I could get a buffing tool small enough to be useful.

They are indeed support marks. I’ve already messed with orientation and this is the position with the least marks so far. I haven’t really messed with support settings yet. Thanks for the idea.

My hands are cramping just thinking about using it.
