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

Yes, we have a small sandblaster at work for cleaning up SLS Nylon prints.

At my work we occasionally use a vibratory tumbler for that

Prints can be scraped using microplane cards (can be made yourself from spring steel with a hammer). I really like this method as it leaves a smooth surface.
