You might try gentle heat. GENTLE is key.

Here are pics of the hand-finished and painted prototype sight body. This is produced in PLA, so this is the budget model. The SLA version (the deluxe model) will look even better and it will take much less time to finish.

Here is the unfinished deluxe sight next to the finished budget sight. You can see the conical tip as well. I'll post more pics soon.
Also, thanks to cyberblock for loaning me his round-tipped Singlepoint for taking measurements for the stand alone conical tip.

If you get the kit, I'll keep the support structure intact. It's like a little roller coaster. It's quite lovely.

This is a mockup of the deluxe scope. The facets and support nubs will sand off easily. The cone has been sanded with 220-400-600-800-1000-1500. You can go further and get even more clarity if you want. I'm going to finish this scope in the next evening or two and post pics of the completed scope as soon as I'm done.

Comparison pic of sanded scope and scope just off the printer bed. This took about 10 minutes of sanding starting with 220 grit and then 400 grit.

I'm mesmerized by that support structure. Also, that's incredible how clean it is straight from the printer.

Right? This is the lowest res setting too! I'm going to be producing these on the high res setting...I suspect that will smooth out the facets so even less sanding is needed.
Painting the scope now. I'll shoot pics of the completed scope once it's done.
