This is one of the resources that helped me pick my first printer. The post by /u/sausage54 has a lot of info and it gets updated every once in a while.

vvvvv
But that may also work

A while ago I swapped the flexible mat for a glass and my prints were instantly heaps better.

Is there a thread like this for laser cutters? Or would that still be considered 3D printing?

I use my 3D printer mostly to make gears so I figured it might be faster with a laser cutter. They seem way too expensive anyway.

A CNC router would be great but unfortunately I don't have a workshop.

Yeah, I have my ender 3 at my home office room and that's about as far as I'd go.

Reminds me of the failed print graveyard that lives between the back of my printer, and the wall (but in a good way)

Funny thing is that I screwed up the model because the hexagons were supposed to be a solid piece. The triangles came out too flimsy and broke off but I ended up liking it better that way.

Is it possible to iron the flat surfaces of a print to smooth them out?
I'm printing metallic PLA and tried to sand it but it takes out the shine from it.

Yeah, I was thinking I could try with some baking paper or aluminum foil in between, and just sorta do a quick pass. I guess I can try it since it's only on a 1hr print so if it gets ruined I don't care.
Oh, and my printer is an E3 pro, dunno if it has that setting.

I don't have the box anymore but I believe it is silk PLA. I'll look into the iron feature in Cura.
