How to Sand, Fill and Prime 3D Printed Parts - Viking Mandalorian - Part 1
In this video I'll cover How to Sand, Fill and Prime 3D Printed Parts using a really cool Mandalorian helmet that I'm going to give a viking look. A lot of people ask me how do I get helmets and other props so smooth. Well it's not easy you have to do a lot of sanding, filling and priming. There are some key steps in-between that I'll also cover in this video. Sanding PLA can take some time, but in the end you get smooth prints that are really easy to paint and look great. Painting 3D prints and weathering 3D prints can make them really come alive.
