Acetone Smoothing Acetone smoothing is a post-processing technique used to enhance the surface finish of ABS prints. Acetone vapor dissolves the outermost layers of the print, creating a smooth, glossy surface by blending visible layer lines. This technique improves aesthetics and reduces surface porosity, making it suitable for decorative or functional applications like fluid containers. The smoothing process can be done using vapor chambers or acetone applicators. While effective, caution is needed as acetone is flammable and emits strong fumes. Proper ventilation and safety measures are essential when using this technique. Acetone smoothing is widely used for ABS parts in prototypes and models.
