Post Body

So I've printed a scarab beetle form moon knight (file here https://thangs.com/designer/pressprint/3d-model/golden%20scarab%20-%20moon%20knight-64839?part=2cf789c2-12aa-4339-975a-9ad56fafc105)

The wings and body have holes which I intended to paint, but I was wondering if there's any way of melting PLA into the holes rather than painting? So for example, the blue inside the holes in the wings, instead of painting it blue just melt some blue PLA into the hole and so on? I don't want to over heat the actual print and have to print it again, but I also feel like melting PLA into the gaps will give a much better result than painting.

Thanks in advance!
