This new material is designed to be vapour polished using any Alcohol based chemical, & can also be easily cast.
So you can make shiny plastic parts that look injection moulded, or make metal parts using the lost wax casting process.
You can contact a local foundry & they can cast 3D prints made from esmooth for you.

You may have heard of something called vapour polishing.
In this process, the 3d printed part surface is exposed to the vapour of a chemical that is slowly evaporating.
In the past, the easiest usable option was to use acetone vapour to polish ABS plastic.
Not everyone loves 3d printing with warping stinky abs plastic, & then have to deal with potentially hazardous fumes out of acetone, when all they need is a shiny 3d print.
So plastic filament companies researched products that could be chemically polished with more ease using less toxic materials & also be easier to 3d print.
This new 3D Printer filament can be polished with Alcohol based solvents like Ethanol, Methylated Spirits or IPA
You may have heard of products like PolyMaker & Polysher which have made this concept very popular – but were very expensive proprietary concepts.
ESmooth by Esun is much cheaper, so everyone can now afford to make 3D Prints that look Injection Moulded.
On top of that, this Esun material works beautifully for PLA Lost Wax Investment Casting processes to make Metal parts.
It casts much better than standard PLA as it burns out cleanly with minimal residue.
Not familiar with 3D Printing & Casting as a process? No problem.
Traditionally, 3D Printing full metal parts requires SLM & EBM machines costing millions.
Investment casting means make a 3D Print out of a material (previously only PLA was used) & using that to make a mould.
Hot metal is then poured inside the mould.
The heat burns out the PLA plastic & you have your Metal part made using 3D Printing technology.
It is incredibly cheap to do it this way compared to Laser 3D Printing metal powder.
Of course, it has its limitations, but new materials minimise the post-processing needed.
Thats where ESun’s new ESmooth shines.
Not only perfect to make perfect looking plastic parts – it is also perfect for casting metal parts.
Alex L2023-11-28I have dealt with the 3D Printer Store for several months now and have to say that the experience has been very positive. Zubbin is extremely knowledgeable in this field, enthusiastic, honest and responsive. Pre and Post Purchase customer support has been great. He will have your best interest in mind and will recommend the best product for your needs. My positive experience dealing with him professionally has led me to buy product from him for personal use. We are very lucky to have such a supplier providing these kinds of specialized 3D Printers, Filaments, accessories and services in New Zealand. The rare filaments can sometimes be difficult to source but he will do his best to find alternatives to get what's needed ASAP or even suggest proper alternatives. I am looking forward to future collaboration with this supplier.Elias Bayless2023-10-18First choice for all my 3d printing needs, the team here really does a great job! Always get my filament here and it arrives really fast and always performs very well in my printer.Lyle Adams2023-10-18I recently purchased a 3D printer from this business and also took their training. Zubbin's knowledge and assistance is top-notch. He provided valuable insights not only on 3D printing but also related topics. Highly recommended!!Dylan Cooper2023-09-19Solid company to deal with. I have ordered filament multiple times from this company. I have also been advised on better filament options than what I ordered, which worked out really well. Will continue to shop here!Maarten van den Heuvel2023-08-21Good prices, fast shipping, excellent communication and when there was a hiccup with my order it was sorted super fast and to my full satisfaction. Can recommend.Phil Shimmin2023-08-16Great service from these guys. On my most recent order there was a stellar turnaround of only 24 hours between initial stock query and the filament being in my printer.Dan King2022-09-29Shipping and packaging was excellent and best in market pricing. I had an issue with a misunderstanding about the particular properties of the resin I purchased but Zubbin responded quickly and helped me resolve the issue. Perfect customer service, they have gained a loyal customer.Mike O2022-09-12These guys are awesome. I used to buy my filament from overseas for my projects and needed something in a hurry and went looking for something local. I'm so glad I did. Not only are the prices as good or better than what I was getting overseas and even more of a deal when considering the pricing I was paying for shipping their turn around each time has been next day. Great range of in stock filaments, good prices, super fast turn around and excellent customer service.Dion Hitchens2022-08-09Kia ora, This is a fantastic business selling reliable machines at a great price point. What I am impressed with the most is that the owner is always willing to help if I have a problem his insight and knowledge he is so willing to share is always on point and allows me to solve the problem I am trying to resolve. I look forward to doing more business with them. thanksMichael Williams2022-06-28Sent them an email explaining what I was trying to achieve and asked for their advice. They responded promptly and recommend a basic 3d printer which turned out absolutely fit for purpose. Ordered online and with good communication i had printer within days. Will definitely return when I upgrade. This printing stuff is very addictive.
