    If you wet sand the PLA & paint, the water will keep the work piece cool and keep the grit on the paper from gumming up. I also like how it keeps the dust from getting everywhere and keeps it out of my lungs.

    i like the look of just the primer, makes it look like a really aged true vintage keyboard.

    I was more than six minutes into the video when I realized you were playing a C64 SID chiptune. Nice choice.

      unfortunately you can't find them anymore, we had a group buy a few years ago. I'm trying to have them manufactured again but Signature Plastics is terribly slow...
