For the final model, I opted to use my second part because it came out the best. I began by sanding the non knurled surfaces with 220 grit sandpaper to smoothen them out and get rid of imperfections and the seams. I then got rid of the seams on the knurled surface as best I could with a small X-acto knife first. I then went over it with the 220 grit sandpaper. After the first pass, I went over all the sanded surfaces with 400 grit sandpaper, then 800, and then a quick pass with 1000 grit. After the sanding finishing work, I wiped it all down with a small amount of acetone to further smoothen the smooth surfaces. I also quickly wiped the knurled surface to smoothen the ridges out slightly and clean them off. The result looked very nice of the sanded portions but accentuated the rough uneveness of the non-sanded surfaces.
