As the title suggests, I need advice on how to file down a few cms a certain spherical object without compromissing its shape if at all possible. Surprisingly as a modeler and molder I had never run into this issue so I am not aware if there is a technique to go with it or any specialised tools. Shoot me with your ideas.
Ball joint or dome? For ball joints, I usually take a small piece of fine grit sandpaper, drape it over the top and squeeze it tight, then rotate the piece around while applying pressure from all sides. Works wonders.
It does function like a ball joint. Now that I read my first post I didnt clarify what it is right? Well its the ball that sockets on the G1 Optimus Prime repair drone crane. Sand paper eh? Kinda though of that but I wasnt sure if its effective.
