I'm curious if anyone uses sandblasting for cleaning up their prints. If not, what's your favorite way to clean them up?

won’t say I know enough from experience to say it will work for sure though. there's "working" and then there's optimal. lol. pretty sure you could drop some media in a martini mixer and hand it over to sugar-crazed kiddies and have it "work". I accept no responsibility for that inevitable disaster,

that said, I suspect that depends on the kind of media used. sandy grit in a water solution or something would probably be fine.

Now that you mentioned it, I have a toddler and a cocktail shaker already. I'll slap some ducktape on the lid and hope to contain some disaster.

I suspect this comes with the benefit of burning off some of the kid's energy and entertaining the kid for HOURS
