Smoothing Seams in 3D Prints with a Soldering Iron « Adafruit Industries – Makers, hackers, artists, designers and engineers!
A soldering iron can be used to close tiny gaps in your 3D printed multi-parts. Uncle Jessie shows how he smoothens a print using a $16 temperature-controlled soldering Iron. To fill in larger gaps, he uses scrap print-plastic.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Circuit Playground allows you to quickly create projects using the drag-and drop MakeCode programming site. Also, you can learn computer sciences with the CS Discoveries class at code.org. You can also jump into CircuitPython, TinyGO and the Arduino IDE to learn Python, hardware, and more. Circuit Playground Express, the latest and most advanced Circuit Playground board, supports CircuitPython and MakeCode as well as Arduino. It is equipped with a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels and mini speaker. InfraRed receive/transmit, two buttons, a switch and 14 alligator clips pads. There are many sensors, including capacitive touch, proximity, temperature and light as well as many other sensors, such as IR proximity, temperature and light. It fits comfortably in your palm and offers a wide range of electronic and coding options.
