Comment on Need help understanding my situation about vents and ducts

And you are welcome! Thanks for letting me spew out theories.

I believe chloroform works well on PLA…

I didn’t know that. Chloroform always helped my girlfriends melt into my arms, but I never thought about its use on PLA.
While I was googling around about chloroform smoothing, I also stumbled upon ethyl acetate as a smoother for PLA. It’s probably better for your internet search history to go that route instead. I have a ton of weird shit for my engineering fascinations, but a bottle of chloroform would probably be at the top of that list.
