to an extent, but personally I don't think it's worth the time save. vapor smoothing is very easy, esp if you use polysmooth or something along those lines. or just resin print it, which makes layer lines a non factor

Polymaker never left our side even though the powers that be wanted printing gone or regulated and attacked everything to do with 3d2a and American innovation.
Right now 10% of their SKUs are made in USA here in Texas and they are aiming for 80% within 5 years. Finally they've "made it" by being in a mainstream store chain, a move that will surely help them grow.
They offer a diverse line of filaments for MANY use cases, you can just about get everything you need from them at this point. Their formulas don't require bizarre processes like BASF filaments, many are entry level printable and doable in a SOHO or small scale shop without much extra equipment but they do offer more advanced materials if that's what you need.
Their HT-PLA-GF product is the next one I'm trying out. The HDT is amazing when annealed and the product has incredible stiffness and near zero warp during annealing thanks to the fiber reinforcement. I'm partial to PC-CF but this might be a good replacement for applications where accuracy, print speed, and HDT are critical.
They make the Polysmooth vapor smoothing line, and Polycast with <0.003% ash residue for clean burnouts on metal casting molds and the Fiberon line of more advanced engineering products. Also, the 3D Print General's own PLA Pro in a sick FDE color that is great for high strength applications still requiring some ductility like frames and receivers.

Polymaker filament families: PolyLite, PolyMax, PolyFlex, PolyTerra, PolyWood, PolySmooth, PolySupport, PolyDigi, PolyCast, PolyMide…
At this point I’m convinced there’s a PolyDad, PolyCat, and PolyTaxForm I haven’t found yet.
Anyone have experience with Polymaker PolySmooth and their Polysher system?
It looks kinda promising for making really smooth prints with their setup.
