Probably going to dry the filament and reprint it but overall it turned out pretty good. Printed on a Bambu A-1 mini

    Just do it outside then.

    Or just do it in the garage. Not to devalue your point (because you aren’t wrong either, the dust isn’t probably healthy), but honestly thinking back over all the shady things that have gone down in my garage over the years, sanding a bit of PLA wouldn’t even nick the surface.

      I get that but creating microplastics to get a smooth finish on an Xbox controller faceplate doesn’t seem like a good move to me.

        Uh… That’s where you’re drawing the line? That very specific, all but arbitrary point along a path already littered with ethical failures? Really? 😅 I mean, you do you. 🙇🏼‍♂️🥲

        One of these days, your perspective might change a little, heh —but try not to get dragged down by the myriad crimes against humanity inherent in plastics, et al industries… 🤷🏼‍♂️

        Change what you can, working from yourself outward. Use PPE, sand your plastic gadgets, do a good job, bring joy into the world with your efforts. ✊🏼🫶🏼
