Surface finish on 3D-prints?

[mmu_man]

I'm wondering what others use as surface finish on their prints, do you leave it as-is, do you use smoothing sprays (haven't tried yet)?
I experimented a bit with sanding (here on the bottom part on the right one, but I find it too matte compared to the LC case), then hot air + pushing against sand paper (top part), but it's not very conclusive.

I found an interesting technique which gives good results for flat surfaces, and more work for the rest…

The small version here has a curve in the middle of the front face which doesn't help… These units received several tests though…


Other options I haven't tried: painting, glossy or matte smoothing spray… Do you know other options?
