Testing 8 of my sanders and sharing my experiences using them on 3d prints over the past couple years. Hoping this can serve as a guide on what to look for in these types of tools, or where to start if you're new to prop making. These are useful for mid to large scale 3d prints. especially cosplay scale prints.
