| Akasha cosplay bra post rotary tool |
This is what the bra for the Akasha cosplay looks like after a couple hours of grinding with a rotary tool. Everything, even the raised areas and edges, was smoothed using a "finishing abrasive buff" tip. That's fancy talk for what is basically the back side of those kitchen sponges. Using this bit was what I came to after trying sanding drums, sanding discs, and grinding bits. The abrasive buff bit was the only one that would sand the plastic without causing the plastic to make little burrs all over the surface (I think the other bits caused the plastic to get too warm and basically the sanded dust melted back down and clumped). Also, you have to rely almost solely on touch for the lower areas because the white on white made it impossible to see what was smooth and what wasn't. The final touch was using a combination of a small cone shaped grinding stone bit and engraving bit to carve out some of the small pits on the outside edge and the tiny low areas in the pointy bits and center curve. Once everything was done I gave it a good wash and let it dry. Next step is painting it.
