Post-Printing

Merge Two Halves and prep surface

Begin by using a flat mini file on all overhanging extruded material

Slightly over file brim edge to allow proper alignment.

Merge two halves with (5min) 2 part epoxy. The 5 mins is the setting time, it should give you enough time to mend the pieces as close to perfect as the base layers will allow. This is only dependent on how well your print adhered to your print bed.

After drying time on epoxy (30min) clean seam out and fill in seam with epoxy on the end of a toothpick wait ~3;30-4 mins and wipe excess off with a lint free towel being careful not to drag the towel parallel to the seam ; only perpendicular to the seam.

Wet or dry sand entire body with 320 grit sandpaper following planar surfaces. Do not sand edges or else the hard lines that are specific to this aircraft will dull and not disperse light around surface accurately.

From here it is user discretion. As one model of a fleet of low-poly Skunkworks craft that I am building I am applying a matte final coat to the models in the major color specific to the original. In this case; the final product will be matte Black.
