Maybe when he grows up?

4x BrickArms Needler

3D Printed at .06mm layers in purple ABS with Ultimaker 2

Acetone vapor smoothed for 10 seconds.

 

I'm getting the hang of this new printer, I think.

The printed items are suspended by a wire over a puddle of acetone in a rice cooker. I bring up the heat until the acetone boils, and the vapor mist is deposited all over the part, and melts the ABS. The longer you leave the part in the rice cooker, the smoother it gets, but the detail gets reduced as a result.
