People wrongly assume that 3D printing leaves high spots that need sanding down...3D printing leaves troughs not high spots and filament printed bodyshells have much more obvious layer lines, the best way to hide these is paint a thin layer of UV resin over the top, let it settle then cure in sunlight or a UV lamp...then flat it back.
Life is like a box of Slot cars... Cool Drinkingcheers
