I'm not a 3D printer guy but isn't the print line issue a calibration or how the piece is situated in the printer or how the supports are laid out? Anyway for the couple of 3D print builds I've done with blems ,usually just slight print lines in some areas I've used Mr Surfacer ,,,brush on and sand 

Yes Scott, it is an issue of positioning. That's why I split up the cab this time to lay down the pieces flat.

Since the cab is not as flat as a Pete or a KW cab it's not the perfect strategy but printing it in one piece is even worse.

I'll keep experimenting to improve the quality.

I might try that surfacer but that only works If you don't have any fine details that will be covered or sanded away.

But thanks for the idea. I'll see if I can get that stuff and try it out. I'm always open for new ideas!

The cab is almost completed.

Tomorrow I'll fit in the windows and then close the roof.

When that's done I'll begin printing the chassis and engine!
