I’ve learned the hard way that printing a great game model is only half the journey—the real magic happens after it comes off the build plate. Careful sanding in stages, starting rough and ending fine, completely changes how a model feels in your hands. I usually add filler primer to hide layer lines, then wet sand again before painting, which makes details pop and also helps paint adhere better. For durability, sealing with a clear coat or epoxy has saved more than one fragile sword or cape from cracking over time. Heat treating certain filaments can help too, as long as it’s done slowly. I picked up many of these habits while printing detailed character files from https://www.gambody.com/, where the accuracy of the models really rewards good post-processing. Taking time here turns a print into something that feels finished and meant to last.
