Default Re: Making replica wooden knobs on a lathe

I am in awe of anyone who can create such precise replicas.

Maximum respect!

I've seen websites of people using 3D printers to make figurines and they lament the rather coarse finish.

One person found a solution - he suspended his printed items in acetone vapour (no direct liquid contact or the item melts!)

Timing is important but get it right and the figurines acquired a glossy finish.
