When you watch all the nice time-lapse videos of 3D printing, they don't show you all the post-pressing that goes on behind the scene. You can have all your settings dialed in perfectly, and you'll still have to clean up the prints when you're done.
Post processing is when you have to remove any burs, bumps, hairs, supports or other imperfections from prints. Here I use flush cutters and a knife to trim the part so it's smooth to the touch all around.
This set of 100 rings took me 3 days to print on two printers. Post took about 3 hrs.
