Probably going to dry the filament and reprint it but overall it turned out pretty good. Printed on a Bambu A-1 mini
Nice, link to the file?
Got my girlfriend an Xbox controller and 3D printed a faceplate

Nice, good print, what was the orientation?

The front of the controller was facing down

Decent!!

Next one might be good. This PLA has been sitting out for months and I didn’t dry it before printing. I had to file down some of the button holes because the buttons can stick down.

The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?

Pretty sure it’s this one www.matterhackers.com/store/l/…/MRN9G6FN

Clear coat it or the layer lines will pick up all the gamer gunk(dead skin and oils).

Frankly, a few dozen passes with 120-220 grit, followed by an acetone wipe down and a couple light coats of gloss varnish (spray) varnish before waiting 24hrs+ (ie. gas off) to box it up… is the smart play here. 🫶🏼🤓

I try and avoid sanding plastic as much as possible even if it’s PLA
