Pinshape shared a tutorial on polishing and finishing techniques for metal filled filaments

Here at Pinshape, we have an appreciation for shiny things, so we’re doing a tutorial on polishing and finishing techniques for metal filled filaments. These techniques open a world of possibilities for surface finishes on 3D printed parts.
