Here's how I treat 3D printed parts with an acetone vapor bath to make them smooth and much stronger!

Heating acetone can be dangerous!  You can do this just fine without heat but the results are not as smooth over the whole print and takes a bit longer. 

Place your ABS 3d print on a piece of glass and after finishing, let it cure for at least an hour or two (in sunlight works great). It will come right off the glass but if not- place it in your fridge for a while and it will release.

A slow cooker, rice cooker, crock pot or anything similar works great to warm the acetone until it fills the pot with vapors. Just turn off the heat when you see the model getting shiny and let it work!

Enjoy
