I donno sheet about 3D printing, but I doubt it.
I do have machine tools--and the kinds of poly-whatever thermoplastic that I have sawed, drilled or machined always come out real stringy.
They don't cut smoothly at all. Only Delrin or acetal does that.

Acetal vaper good works with 3D printed parts.

Yes, but it all depends on what medium you put in it.
Baking soda is used in sand blasting cars without the issues of excessive heat warping body panels from sand.
You could possible try sugar or flour to tumble the plastics.
Contact media suppliers, tell them what material you are trying to smooth, if they have something that is suitable, they will try to sell you some:)
There is a good chance that there is something out there that will work...
You tumble plastics with hard wood as the media
