I tried it and it works, but sadly not too well. Both THF and ethyl acetate dissolve the handle and therefore the tip gets wobbly after a short time. I still think it is a good method to smooth harder to reach areas though.

So far I have only used Q-tips. Unless there are sharp edges they work fairly well. The thought of using disposable lip brushes is great. I will give it a try this weekend and get back to you (I hope that they don't dissolve).

Hi, I will write you an E-Mail, but I think that working together may be tricky, since I live in Germany. You might want to check out 3D hubs. I am glad you found my instructable helpful.

Cool project. I am sad that you live so far away. I feel like we would get along really well.

How about this one: https://amzn.to/2va5Esk

Thank you! Please check out this link: goo.gl/hZJxi3 to make a decision. I honestly personally wouldn't work with chloroform, but it is obviously up to you.

Actually the epoxy adheres crazy well to it. Once it is applied and cured all you can do to remove it, is sanding it. Out of all the methods epoxy is the best for a piece that gets handled a lot.

I wiped it off, so I am sorry I can't really tell you. I think I still have the test piece I photographed in step 11 though. In one and a half weeks I am back in my workshop and I will do some testing. Btw. applying heat made the problem even worse. I somehow thought going over it with a blow torch would help, but the surface got even more uneven.

Interesting idea. So far I really liked using foam brushes (if you get them in a bulk from China they are extremely cheap), so there was no need to look for alternatives.

True that's why I nearly always use a layer of filler primer afterwards.

Thanks a lot for your nice comment!

Thanks Brent!

Thanks a lot for your nice comment! I am really glad you like it.

I was thinking about writing a "how to win an instructables contest", you beat me to it. I agree with the other comments. Especially that you should not write what you think the instructable admins would like to see. There are actually more than 50 people who can feature instructables (I can, too, but I rarely do (we are obviously not allowed to feature or own stuff)). Be creative, build what you are passionate about and take good pictures! Getting inspired by contests is great, but I've stopped building things just for contests. This way if you don't win you still have something you love (or especially if you made it for somebody in mind, you will have a great gift). You say that: "Starting an instructable project there are some points to consider: Use common materials (...

You say that: "Starting an instructable project there are some points to consider: Use common materials (easy to get). Replicable. The easier the better. If it is a commonly found projects you can improvise with easier/better techniques or better results."I guess if those rules would actually apply I wouldn't have won a single contest... In my experience something creative, fun and new always beats a simple, easy to replicate project. Those are great tips if you would like many views (especially over time), but not at all essential to winning a contest.

They look really tasty!

There was a toy contest a few years ago which I've won with a Nerf gun. I've also won with one in a "Maker Olympic". Since Nerf doesn't endorse modifying guns, I doubt they would sponsor a contest, I would love one though. It would be a nice motivation to get back into the hobby.

Hi, there seems to be a problem with displaying it. When you download it, it is the correct file.

Hi, thanks a lot. The colour wasn't as intense as I had hoped, but as you can see in the pictures it is clearly visible. It moved around a bit, but I wouldn't call it swirling.

What do you mean with "nice"? The bath bomb is definitely good for your skin.

Considering the amount of contests I have won it may be hard to believe, but so far I've only held back one ible (Deadpool Knife Block), because I had hoped for a 3D printing contest (which started about two weeks later (it wasn't announced by the list)). Usually it is the other way around, I see a contest and remember a project I wanted to make in the past or finally document a project I had made (I always take pictures, I am just too busy/lazy to do the write-up since I usually rather start a new project).I use my drafts to remind me of project ideas, but very often they only consist of the title.Are you more interested in winning a prize or getting recognition?

In my experience the best way to get recognized is to tell people about what you've made, by contacting different websites or using social media. If you are interested in making money off of your ibles, you might consider affiliate links or sponsorships. This way not winning doesn't matter as much (especially if you've waited a long time to publish something).I just went through a few of your ibles and am impressed with what you are making, just a friendly hint: instructables with good pictures do a lot better in contest. Try adding at least one picture per step and make sure to use good lighting.

This could be great to award a special prize in a "time" or "clock" contest. Which I just keep on suggesting until it happens ;-)

Thank you!

I'm sorry, I don't know what a M-88 is. If you are talking about real explosives, please take pictures ;-)

Thank you!

That would be cool. I wouldn't want to dissolve it though.

I agree, but I couldn't get my camera to focus on the bathing water, I somehow didn't think about using manual focus and figured the GoPro footage would be enough... I am pretty sure I will make an other batch, but I ran out of neon colours.

I didn't get mine either :-(

Mine is working again, thanks a lot!

I am having the same issue with an instructable I am currently working on. The image from step 1 is shown on step 3 and all the other images aren't working. In the editor everything looks fine. The title is "Lord Vetinari Clock" (It is only halfway done so I don't want to share the link publicly yet).

Hi, check out this link: https://www.instructables.com/you/subscribers

This is one of the prettiest tables I have ever seen!

That's a great idea! I would love to see some pictures

Here you can find a list: https://3dfilaprint.com/filament_overview/food_safe_filaments_print.htm

Such a cool idea, I enjoyed reading your process.

Thanks a lot for the idea!

May we please get another update?

Thank you!!

I love broccoli. I should give this a try
