Title: Sandblasting ABS Spacebar
Post by: neunelfer on Fri, 24 January 2014, 09:16:12
Has anyone sandblasted their Topre spacebar? I've heard people mention it but couldn't find any actual results.

A similar question was asked yesterday in the Simple Questions thread. I provided a bunch of links (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=40501.msg1203314#msg1203314) so the person who asked could have some reading material. In particular, you might like ripster's guide since he shows step-by-step how he sandblasted caps. It's the imgur link.

Nope.
