Pumpkin

It's getting to that time of the year again! Enter Polymaker Pumpkin, a fun project for hands free post-processing. The Polymaker Pumpkin was printed in PolySmooth™ and post-processed in the Polysher™ before being spray painted with an airbrush. Watch the support scars on the underside of the pumpkin blend into a smooth uniform surface before flipping your pumpkin over and polyshing the top surface. Included in the .STL files is a small stand to polish the underside of your pumpkin, we recommend polishing the underside first, but remember not to print the polyshing stand in PolySmooth™ or it will fuse to your model, We used PolyMax™ PLA.

The geometry of this model really shows the capability of the Polysher™ to eliminate layer lines even at 0.2mm layer height and on very acute slopes. The horizontal surfaces will become completely smoothed creating a tactile glossy model while the verticle surfaces won't require as heavier polishing due to the tighter layers.

The individual parts were then spray painted straight onto the PolySmooth™ surface. PolySmooth™ takes paints really well, there is no priming necessary, once the model has already been polished the paint bonds extremely well to the material. Allow the model to air dry for 24hrs before applying your first coat. You can then use IPA to bond the stork to the model.
