Saw a huge difference between 3D printed and molded props on a set in Atlanta

I was on a low budget indie shoot last month where we used a 3D printed sci fi gun for a hero close up. The layers were super obvious and it looked fake. The next day, the prop master brought a silicone molded version of the same design, and the detail was insane, like a real metal object. The mold cost about $200 to make but saved hours of post production paint work. Anyone have a good source for affordable silicone molding kits?

But 3D printers are way cheaper for one off props.
