Frame
The 3D printing process requires a supporting frame during
printing, see below. The printed part is cut from the frame
using flush cutters and this sometimes leaves small bumps on
the part. Use a knife with a sharp new blade to cut away the
bumps. A flat jeweler's file is also useful for removing bumps.
For bumps on the cab body, sanding is recommended.
