Rotary Tumbler - found couple movie, foto, info about this but anyone use this to "polishing/post-processing" 3d prints?? If "yes" tell what "abrasive" you use??

Rotary tumblers are really intended for polishing rocks, and will remove large surface bumps. If you put a 3d print in a rotary tumbler, my first instinct is that parts will likely break, and surface features will be degraded. I've attached an image so you can see the degradation that comes with tumbling.

... have seen them only for 3D-prints made from metal (SLS and casted) ...
