In a word: “Acetone”
It dissolves ABS so it is very good for making smooth surfaces. Then you can sand whatever you want.
You can create a contest for “best smoothing technique” with a “least effort award”, and “best quality award” for standard shapes(sphere, cube, blender monkey head…).

Still keeping it awesome I see, man I love your series of videos… I look forward to them every week. Keep up the good work, can’t wait for the next one. To be truthful I wish that the episodes were longer and I also love the animations at the end

i had very good results with a little bit of sanding & applicating 2 or 3 layers of epoxy resin.
The finish is perfect and the parts are strengthened, it’s a real plus with ABS.
Hope it helps
