Thanks to all who replied to my Thermojet finish question.

Actually the only thing I have is a sample part from 3D Systems (a Motorola
pocket radio) that I was trying to get a better surface finish on. The stair
stepping is quite noticeable and would not be acceptable for the finished
item. As to which material it is I don't know but it's definitely a wax.

The sample I received definitely needs work on the upfacing and vertical
surfaces to achieve an acceptable finish. Could you please elaborate on what
you mean by "waxed to smoothness"?
