I just purchased a 3D printed trigger housing for my AP5.
While functionally perfect it has a few imperfections that bother my OCD, like a lot...
Someone that knows his way around a Dremel could probably make it perfect, but that someone is NOT me:
I know myself enough to stay away from it.
Can anyone help or suggest a business/shop that can?
I will be happy to pay for your time ...

Those look to be fixable with sandpaper.
^^^This, and it will be therapeutic for OCD.
If you're unarmed, you are a victim
Steal some of the Mrs emery boards she uses for her nails and get busy. You try a dremel and you will melt it.
Slow & smooth Lou
I was thinking cut some fine grade sandpaper in strips and put the gun in a vise. Make sure the gun is wrapped in a cloth. Use the strips of sandpaper to gently blend/smooth the surface using a seesawing motion. Polish the surface with cheese cloth as a final finish. It will probably be a painstaking job.
It is...hence the Dremel thing...[Coffee]Quote:

I have smoothed some out with heat guns. Depending on plastic used, acetone may also work.Quote:

I asked AI on Google and it said this...
"To smooth plastic, wet-sand with progressively finer grits of sandpaper (e.g., starting around 220 or 320 grit and moving to 400, 600, 800, and finer) to remove imperfections, then polish with a liquid polishing compound using a buffer or cloth for a final shine. Start with coarser grits for rougher surfaces and use water to keep the sandpaper from clogging."
Sorry, the search term was "smoothing plastic out"
You may want to do your own search if the material is not plastic
