Refining the Print
Removing Excess Supports
When creating objects with many forms of 3D printing, you will need to remove the excess material the print uses to create support structures. The POP kiosk case is the only print that requires extensive support structures and we recommend the Cura Slicer program's "Tree Supports" option for ease of removal.
These supports are made to be removed and the process is generally straight forward. Using a pair of side-cutting pliers, you can cut any support connections. Then, use needle-nose pliers to remove the support structures.
Filling and Sanding the Parts
After the support structures are removed, there may be some marks left on the final part's surface. These can generally be removed by using sandpaper. Start with 120-grit sandpaper and progressively work your way up to 1500-grit sandpaper.
Working in a straight line with low-grit paper can quickly remove marks from the printed surface, while sanding in tight circles with higher-grit paper can help minimize the appearance of surface anomalies. During this sanding process, you can use a spot putty to fill large gouges or soften layer lines. When using 1000-grit or higher sandpaper, you can incorporate water into the process to increase the surface polish.
Sanding 3D printed parts creates a fine dust of harmful microplastic particulates. You should always wear protective goggles, a mask, gloves and wash your clothes after sanding is finished. Always ensure you have adequate ventilation.
Painting the Parts
Before you can use spray paint on a finished print, it is generally recommended to use a primer. Some spraypaint includes a primer for a one-step painting process. Use wide strokes that pass over the part being painted, but do not start or stop on it. Always try to hold the spraypaint can nozzle 10" - 12" from the object. Use multiple thin layers to improve evenness and decrease paint running.
You should always wear protective goggles, a mask, and gloves while using spray paint and primer. Always ensure you have adequate ventilation.

After we have our kiosk up and running, we can begin to update the content we display on the kiosk. This can be done through a USB flash drive on the kiosk itself, or through SSH after internet connectivity has been enabled.
