Additive manufacturing is a real nice technology and it represents
very much the final product. Do you know what caused the smear type
effect on the surface? It was so strange because I didn't see it
anywhere else on the watch case, it just started from the inner
contour and abruptly ended at the outer contour so it really seemed
like this was done on purpose.

The front face was he bottom of the print. It was made onto a piece of
kapton tape applied to a heated plate, which provided a smooth, flat,
hot surface. So the front layer was pressed down flat to make that
effect. It feels very smooth to the touch.
There was a stray bit of plastic to make the little angled line. I don't
know exactly the printing sequence, but you can guess at it by studying
the lines.
