From someone who's working on his very first finishing project of a 3D printed head/bust, I can tell you this has "shut up and take my money" written all over it!! Thank you for sharing!
My first year of 3d printing i used a dermal. My 2nd year of 3d printing i moved to a Micro Sander that moves side to side. this was useful. did corners better. and can fit in little slots to clean out the edges Proxxon 28594 Pen Sander might want to check it out. P.S. if you going to use a dermal make sure you keep it very low RPM and a light touch or your going to heat up the plastic and melt it.
Thank you for sharing valuable tools and links. Another way for those users who want to get a smooth surface with FDM printing is that: we can try PVB filament, and be polished by alcohol and become a solid and smooth surface.
You get better results using a rotary tool. The motor on those cheap hand tools won't last for long, plus you have to have extra batteries. A rotary tool comes with hundreds of attachments and it also comes with variable speeds. I got one for $25 on harbor freight 5 years ago, and still works like new!
I was looking for this because I make jewelry and I have so many different rotary tools I was thinking why would you have to use this particular little $20 one if there’s a reason we would like to know
Hey sweet star destroyer. I was looking through you older vids to find the other tool you were talking about but couldn't find it. It was the bladed thing you picked up in the beginning ot this video....
Ever heard of a rotary drill like a Dremel? I have a rotary tool that purchased three years ago for under $25 and I can still purchase the bits for it and there's hundreds to choose from for all kinds of jobs. Good luck trying to find the replacement sanding pads for your Mr. Polisher a few years down the line.
For me some of the best tools to remove layers: - Card scraper (using hard metal sheet edge) is fastest but mostly limited to larger convex shapes. - Sanding using 60 grit (sand paper or pads) is my main tool usually using a Dremel on low RPM or a drill, sometimes with some water for cooling. May not work for models with fine details. - Hot air at 190‒200°C for PLA / 280°C for TPU works also really well to even reach a shine but it's harder to master (too long and you reveal the infill or disform the part, too few and you do nothing at all).
This not only sounds like an electric tooth brush, it also looks like a modded electric tooth brush, where the head pad just got replaced ^.^ But i am way more interested in that Super Star Destroyer model :) Is that downloadable somewhere?
Very informative and yes, it sounds and looks like a electric tooth brush. I made the same thing with my old electric toothbrush. Just Velcro and hook and loop sand paper (cut to fit). By the way, I don't know if your looking at cue cards or a monitor to your right but you need to look straight into the camera when filming because it's kind of distracting. Subscribed to learn more!! Thank you.
Hi, you thought exactly the same thing as me when you saw this "Mr Polisher" and I will most certainly go in the same direction as you by reusing an old electric toothbrush and modifying the head to put paper pellets in it of glass with velcro, I also think that it is nothing more than that in the end and that it is sold as being a "tool" for 3D printing when they are only electric toothbrushes that have been diverted from their original function 😉
Do you have instructional videos for people actually making instructional videos? Until I see your perfect video then I’ll appreciate this man’s video more than your comment
I'm kind of confused by something. You begin the video by telling us how great this tool is, but then 5 minutes into the video you're only just taking the tool out of the box and putting the batteries in? How did you know the tool was effective if you hadn't even taken it out of the box yet? 🤔
I have one of the as well and it works gray. My only issue is for a beginner getting into the hobby that is a sizable investment. They are4 times the cost. Also it’s corded so that can be a downfall depending on the circumstances. Great addition to the posting? What other tools do you feel is a have yo have for the hobby?
@@Rise3DBuilds I just got a deburring tool I want to try soon. It seems like it will be good on masks around the jagged eye and contours that are sharp. I have a Dremel tool but I like this little sander you showed. I'm gonna purchase one . Lol you can never have enough little toys like these. Did you do the video about the Dremel attachments yet? If like to see some samples of useful ones. Great videos by the way. 👍👍👍
It took you 6 minutes of blabbing to get to the point to just show the tool. Then you didn't even do any closeups of the sanding and how it does on removing material.
Close up of before and after would of been nice. Kind of hard to see any progress.
Great info....am definitely getting one via your link. thanks for sharing

Would have like to see that with a primer finish afterwards to see how smooth it really finished.
Oo, that does look nice. I had looked on Amazon but didn’t check eBay. Ordered! I hope all goes smoothly with the move.
i have been using this one for 2 years and works well i make my own pads in different grit. Expensive machine but a must have honestly.

good advise at the end!
I use this every time I can 😅 it’s super useful and makes a lot of difference 😮

PVB, as you probably know, comes at a price premium, typically 25% more than 'common' filaments.
I made one of these bout 3 years ago. I used a toothbrush I got at Walmart and made the head with the 3d printer.
Would you mind sharing the STL file for that head?
Never mind. I'm pretty sure I found it on thingiverse. Going to try this idea out.
So is it similar to a battery operated tooth brush. Just with a sanding head on it?
Why use that over a dremel?
Amazon already has it listed as unavailable.
thats nice, do you think it would work better than a dremel?

What was that debur/scraper type tool you ran across your hand called?
Citadel mold line remover
Still cant find one to buy
I even used a regular mail file, for my first 3D print, which was just the other day.

Hi! Thanks for the info! Will that tool work on curvy surfaces? Or is it only on flat surfaces?
It will work on curves
@@Rise3DBuilds Thank you!
That's so awesome thanks!
Creative collector had showed this about a month ago. Looked like a great tool.
For me some of the best tools to remove layers:
- Card scraper (using hard metal sheet edge) is fastest but mostly limited to larger convex shapes.
- Sanding using 60 grit (sand paper or pads) is my main tool usually using a Dremel on low RPM or a drill, sometimes with some water for cooling. May not work for models with fine details.
- Hot air at 190‒200°C for PLA / 280°C for TPU works also really well to even reach a shine but it's harder to master (too long and you reveal the infill or disform the part, too few and you do nothing at all).
I bought a rotating toothbrush, 1/2 in glue dots and a 1/2 inch hole punch for the sandpaper. Take that 4-6 weeks shipping from Japan
What Toothbrush & hole punch did you buy?
They have a pro 2 that might be of use to you for 3d printed models to!
This not only sounds like an electric tooth brush, it also looks like a modded electric tooth brush, where the head pad just got replaced ^.^
But i am way more interested in that Super Star Destroyer model :) Is that downloadable somewhere?
Currently unavailable. Too bad. Nice video, thanks for the tips

what type of filler do you use on your models.??
I use a wide range. Wood filler, tamiya resin filler, Vallejo resin filler, Depending on the size of the project I have even used bondo.
I just bought one. I can't wait to try it out for myself! Thanks for the video.
How's it doing?
@@Ihopejimhensonwasntabadman It is okay. I tend to use my Dremel tool more than this one.
If you have an electric toothbrush use the old brushes and glue sandpaper on instead of the brush bit.
I use a belt sander...........lmbo... Just kidding. Im just getting into this so this video was informative. Thanks
Be sure to wear a proper respirator when sanding resin, using tool or by hand!

I have 3 of them.
@@Rise3DBuilds Ah, okay. Thank you for clarifying. 👍
I use my hand... I can feel when Ive sanded enough.
nice device, but you can also just buy a multi-tool. In my opinion is a better option with more possibilities to sand 3d projects.
Be good if they came in different sizes
i may get one just to fix the 3d printed stuff i buy just so i dont have to see those lines
seems the polisher is no longer available
looks like basically just an electric toothbrush you can glue sandpaper on...new use for my old electric toothbrush, $0
To bad finding replacement sanding pads for this in different grit isnt easy
Amazon has serval different grits
*Uses angle grinder*
Yes please...
I would go for Argofile Artima over this tbh
I have one of the as well and it works gray. My only issue is for a beginner getting into the hobby that is a sizable investment. They are4 times the cost.

Ya, I have this Artima5 too. It able to sand more narrow space.
hide layer line=cura fuzzy skin no touch processing

I don’t think he even used this before this video. Just a bad advertisement.
Lol I do. Go check the recent live streams
the forbidden toothbrush
$20 last year . . . . and now, a year later it's $52
If you could get to the point faster you'd have more people sticking around to watch.
Might just as well McGyver an electric toothbrush.
So… Hear me out…. Buy a dremel with adjustable speed’s lol.
And i am sure its great for your health "D
It's a toothbrush
look at us tho!
