Sanding APLA+ (the material this mount was made of) is a HUGE PITA, so I'm not sure how I am going to finish the pieces yet. They wont be made of APLA+, though, so I don't know how I'll be finishing it until I get that sorted, but I'm hoping for some sort of reasonable finish. We shall see!
Yeah, it's a PITA and it's nearly impossible to get an acceptable finish. My risers are printed using SLA 3D printing, so the resolution is high and print lines are extremely minimal. With 400 grit they wet sand to a perfectly smooth surface. This image demonstrates the difference pretty well

Out of the printer they're white-ish, but can be easily painted black. I might be able to manufacture these for you if you're interested!
