3D Printed items

[Wayne J]

Has anybody tried varnishing any of their prints?

I'm thinking of using a spray varnish to give any glossy effect, but don't know whether it could potentially melt the plastic or even if it would give a decent finish.

Any experiences people have had are welcome to be shared.

I use spray lacquer all the time.

Forget the brand but stuff from a car parts shop. Have used https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hycote-Clear-Lacquer-400ml-Energy/dp/B004SNLNY2 before though.

Perfect, I want to give these a bit more of a glossy finish. At over a foot tall may need more than 1 tin.
