From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't sand your 3d prints?
You sand your 3D prints?
I'm still planning to do some projects with it. But other projects always come in the way.
So it's not common to make the lines away, at least on surfaces?
edit: ok, that still seems to be a prototype.
Those are grip enhancement surface features.
Actually, those are speed lines. It makes you type faster.
No, around the keyboard.
You mean the small gaps in the filament?
Those won't go away with sanding unless you go really deep
And personally for a prototype sanding is a waste of time. Get something working as you expect, then roughly design a case, iterate the case, finalize the case design, then finally worry about surface finish.
What the other person said. This is a prototype and looks to be printed with thicker layers than normal (.2mm is the usual.) to save time.
