Draconic Spires

Step 5: back to normal. Now that the basic geometry is sound, initial sanding removes minor printing blemishes and brings a view of the final result into focus. From there a little metrology is undertaken, measuring all opposing faces and a few other details. Then carefully judging all vertices (sharp points) for subtle errors, and one by one, crossing those off the list with further delicate sanding. See the black marker on the vertex tips here, to help visually clarify the state of them. This particular 3d resin, being matte white, masks flaws well.

Step 2: An example measurement of contrasting the 1/8 face stretch against the perpendicular, which was over a millimetre shorter. This also shows the 1/8 face edge well; again, that is the edge that was closest to the 3d printer's build plate, and which was elongated from.
