So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know [that there is nothing similar to Him]. ( 2:22 ) And if you are in doubt about what We have sent down upon Our Servant [Muhammad], then produce a surah the like thereof and call upon your witnesses other than Allah, if you should be truthful. ( 2:23 ) But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) Quran

When I was a young man, I worked in a large foundry where they made large valves of cast steel. A hot, dirty and sometimes dangerous environment. A couple guys were missing fingers or more from accidents. They used some type of sand and resin mixture and pressed the sand in with air tools. The pattern makers were true artist and craftsmen. I used to have a small sand pre-casting. It look like a piece of art work and lasted a long time on the shelf before getting smashed. Cheers, Scott

Forgive me if someone else has already commented this, but depending on the material you 3D print with you can use acetone to smooth the surface instead of doing all that sanding.

My grandfather was a pattern maker when I was a kid in the early sixties and I remember him explaining the craft of building a wooden pattern so that when as the positive pattern it was packed around with casting sand it had to be able to be removed without disturbing the sand.
