finally got around to dehyrdating a spool of plastic and test printing this, after about a day of sanding its very smooth and i just gotta procure some filler to fill the last imperfections out.

You know, it never occurred to me to use a printer for something like that. I wonder how well it will work.

it works well, i have two other printed pieces that ive tried before. the only problem is that thermoplastics pull water from the environment so they do need a filler and sealer to make them sanitary to use. after being sealed they do well.

I'm curious if you can paint this before sealing it

you could, 3d prints are fairly paintable. im not going to do it as i dont wanna go out of my way to find skin safe or food grade paints. there isnt any reason it wouldnt be possible to do though. i have painted figures before, i have a renamon sitting on my desk i painted :)
