That's the reason why I just made a makeshift Polysher. We are moving to a different country and was afraid that I would miss the delivery so I did not pre-order. My makeshift one does the job anyway and is able to smoothen out Polysmooth prints which I'm really impressed with the surface quality once it's polished. This is now my go-to filament whenever I need smooth finished parts. if i use google to find this "makeshift Polysher" can you please give me more details I've posted the project in two (2) places: https://hackaday.io/project/20967-diy-polishing-station-for-3d-printed-parts http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2219628 I might start a dedicated thread if there's enough interest.

I have decided I like you a lot. LOLConsidering you're doing this for free for the community and its got huge impact, this is the least I can do to show appreciation.

@Mark2 dev team Do you plan to set-up a Donate button on the Mark2 site? I'd like to send you beer or coffee at least for the awesome work you're doing on the Mark2!

It all depends on your expectations. It's good for me, but because my standards are low in terms of final quality. Printing with ABS and smoothing with acetone is the less expensive alternative, although it means a messy workspace as it's a DIY approach. I've come up with a DIY solution that is not so messy. Take a look here: https://hackaday.io/project/20967-diy-polishing-station-for-3d-printed-parts My DIY smoothing station works on Polysmooth and I think should work with acetone too.

@foehnsturm/@neotko Thanks! I guess I'll have to focus on a UM2+ just to get this working. Off I go to the secondary market for a good deal UM2+.

No love for UMO? :( Saw the updated mark2 site and noticed the documentation only talks about UM2+ and didn't say the mod/upgrade can be done for UMO. Can someone confirm pls?

@foehnsturm/@all Great job on this and I'm extremely excited to see that this is finally getting released! I'm one who signed up for UMO and wondering if the Mark2 will still be able to support the UMO. Also, as I'm preparing to get the additional extruder and feeder, wondering if I would get extra benefit if I order two diff. nozzle sizes, e.g., 0.4mm and a 0.5mm. Will the custom Cura firmware for Mark2 support nozzles of diff. sizes? Once again, congratulations and looking forward to your Mark2!
