“Use of paints and finishes Painting 3D printed parts is the easiest thing there is, mainly because the process is almost the same than when we paint any other surface. The most important thing is to know what types of paint we can use. I have some examples. The first type of paint, the one I recommend the most, it is acrylic paint.

In the same way that we have paint applicable with brush, we can also use sprays. Sprays offer very unifo...”

A course by Agustín Arroyo
Agustín Arroyo, better known in the maker world as Flowalistik, is a product designer and educator who currently lives in Madrid, Spain. He's been passionate about creating new products since he was young; what he used to do with Legos, he now does with a computer and a 3D printer.
He's been working in digital manufacturing since 2013 and his creations are characterized by minimalist shapes, attention to detail, and, above all, functionality. He's collaborated with companies like Ultimaker, BCN3D, and Prusa Printers, creating end products, promo collections, and new designs. Most of his designs are free for download, meaning anyone with access to a 3D printer can make them.
