Excellent! Will the infusion of bronze fill the pores characteristic of printed parts, making it possible to grind the edges smooth for mirror-finish plating?

The rough nature of printed parts pushed me to a waterjet for the Karmann Eclectric emblems.
Karmann Eclectric: Taking a shine to that name.
