Has anyone tried a vibratory polishing machine on printed pieces?
Good question, don’t think it’s impossible https://www.vibratoryfinishing.co.uk/vibratory-bowls/finish-3d-printed-parts-with-vibro-bowls.html.
We’ve been testing out tumbling on Fuse 1 parts with a fair bit of success, but haven’t given this a go with Form 2 prints. SLA parts tend to be a bit more brittle, but if you do give it a try let us know how it turns out!

if you make circular parts, you can get a lathe and polish em on that. I wet sand from 800 to 3000 grit then use a buffing wheel and polishing compound.

Or- spray paint it with a coat of UV resistant gloss acrylic- which will also result in optical clarity- and help forestall yellowing.
