I don't think I've seen it mentioned - needle files. I have several cheap sets for our lost-wax casting work. I find them far easier to use for post-print model finishing than sanding. Lots of shapes to pick from.

We’ve got a few set of cheap ones left over from when my wife’s grandmother worked at American science and surplus. We got lots of strange goodies at Christmas.Great idea: Something like this? File set?

They do blind eventually, though cleaning them with small wire brushes helps.
Do yourself a big favor...Get a PEI sheet. I have printed dozens of parts in PLA and PETG and not even touched the surface. I did put a layer of purple glue stick on because PETG can stick too hard. You get an extremely smooth surface too. Once in a blue moon I wipe it down... But I prefer drinking my IPA and not real fond of Blue Moon...

Michael,
I have a similar wrench and recommend an open-ended wrench. I have that exact socket in my cart.
Too funny, I also have that exact open ended ratchet combo wrench, but I prefer the socket for dealing with the nozzels.
No doubt, but my experience is limited to my Prusa and soon to be full bear, although I am undecided on what extruder and print head combo to use.
I was an IT support guy for many years and I worked a lot on fixing/upgrading computers. I bought a set of Goldtool screw drivers and they are my goto. I think StarTech bought them out. These have amazingly good steel.

I looked at the Olfa knife. Now Olfa sounds Scandahoovian to me but the packaging in Japanese. Go figure.Well,
If no one else has suggestions, I have another.
A good hobby knife. I have two, A Basic X-Acto Knife Kit and Olfa Craft Knife. Both are great knives. The Olfa is fantastic to remove brims.

Good shout! I picked up a couple of #1 Excel hobby knives a few months back after years of using the cheaper variants. I seriously wonder why I've been wasting money on the knock-off's after now trying the real McCoy. An absolute must in anyone's toolbox. Just wish genuine Excel blades were more easily obtainable over here.
Got my FOSHIO Plastic Razor Scrapers from Amazon the other day. Came with two handles and a boatload of "blades." Also have a nice deburring tool to add to my tool set. Now to move to the new house in Covington at the first of the month.
I got this deburring tool.I hope you find the FOSHIO Plastic Razor Scrapers helpful. I have also found that a Deburring tool is essential for cleaning up prints.
John, I've been thinking about buying one of these for years to deburr metal, especially aluminum. When you get it try it on something metal and please let me know how it works.I got this deburring tool.
