Comment on sandblaster?

At my work we occasionally use a vibratory tumbler for that
Sanding with loosenmedia :)
I suspect airblasting is going to be too aggressive for plastic (or perhaps more accurately too uneven,). But a vibe tank is usually just right.
Another that can can be made with printed parts and a motor is a rock tumbler. Slower, sure, but it has the advantage of easy printing.
Personally, I usually just sand things with a sponge block or scraps of sand paper.
Have you made a printed rock tumbler? I am somewhat considering making one for my kids, but don’t know how long the container would last.
I’ve… not. I just remember playing with one as a kid
