Could explain why the acetone vapor bath? And how?

I can give you the concept and you may educate yourself further if you choose to…
acetone is a solvent…
if you heat acetone it will vaporize at a low temperature, which has many positives
investigate the interwebs and use your noggin and there are a myriad of uses for a vaporized solvent
in this low-tech application I placed some paper towels soaked in acetone in a glass jar… I suspended my part and put the whole assembly in the sun to vaporize the acetone…
acetone vapor increase layer bonding in this application
removes magnets from motor bells in other applications…
go vaporize some shiT!

Just be aware that it only works on certain filaments:
“filaments that can be polished using this process are: ABS, ASA, PMMA, HIPS and Polycarbonate. Other filament types are either unaffected by acetone or are damaged by it.”

When I replaced my eLofty motor I needed to tap “around the clock” with a rubber mallet to get it off the axle.
