If your part needs to be round chuck it up on the lathe. We have tools that are REALLY good at doing certain jobs, use them.

As for them not having enclosed spaces - You've got cardboard and binder clips handy? I'm serious, just stop air flowing over the part as much and you'll be much better off. Optimally? Stick the printer in one of those styrofoam coolers. It'll hold all the heat and make sure your part cools evenly.
Awesome advice! Thank you!
