The popularity of 3-D printers today has made it an indispensable tool in the hands of makers. When we make our own garage kits, we often encounter problems such as rough surfaces or color loss after painting.

During the upcoming Abi meetup, Su Canjie, a model painting teacher, will introduce a method of surface treatment involving epoxy glue and explain how to use it in fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3-D printing when making garage kits. The class will also cover how to upgrade the FDM printed model to the product level or even apply your own artwork. This meetup aims at discussing and discovering methods that make products look better.

Abi Hackspace originated from the previous Bits & Atoms Factory in Huaqiangbei. It’s a community of tech enthusiasts whose main principles are openness, inclusiveness, and focus on technology.
