There are many ready-made tools on the market that can handle this task. Below, I've listed examples that are quite effective, but I was curious to create my own device, which, in my opinion, would work just as well, if not better, than the presented options. However, it all depends on your skills. All parts of the device are made from eABS+HS plastic by the well-known company eSUN. Many are familiar with this plastic, but for those encountering the HS designation for the first time, let me explain: it stands for "High Speed."

The honing process involves the roller contacting abrasives, and regular plastic or metal bearing surfaces will wear out. However, a TPU roller will last much longer. I…
