I could use a pipe cleaner and some polishing wax from Dremel to improve the quality unseen maybe some different polishing compounds used in jewelry manufacturing to really polish the surface but really I would be working blind. while you can look through it that really only tells you if there are obstructions and gross burrs the human eye cannot focus on the surface inside a tube that small. Does anyone have some hints on how to really look at the surface quality on the inside of a tube like this.
Because really if I could ensure a mirror finish in those tubes I could advance 3d printing quite a bit. one of the problems of all metal hotends is friction, and friction it these short steel tubes is mostly caused by machining. If inspections and after work could be performed less blindly it could ensure that the parts are extremely smooth on the inside where it counts. Any ideas? That don't cost a huge fortune?
