Comment on Are 3D-printed objects waterproof?

Thanks! Well, I was kind of hoping to throw something on the printer and have a working system without too much work. But it looks like achieving proper dependable watertightness might be a whole side project of its own.

I think I’ll just order the proper ready-made ABS case and wait until it arrives, most likely.

This is the case, especially if you want watertight prints right off the printer. Post processing (eg coating, smoothing, etc) are another approach. Post processing also seems like it would be more consistent print to print.
