I'm usually a fan of leaving visible machining marks, it can look quite nice when done properly, but the toolmarks on those 5Dev pedals look horrible. Maybe it's just the oilslick finish, but if you are gonna have a machined surface finish, at least put in the effort to make sure your finishing passes look nice. If not, just toss that shit in the tumbler for a bit. I get that they are pedals and are going to get chewed up anyway, but it would be a nice detail to see, and if I were to see how prominent those toolmarks were after anodizing I would make immediate revisions to the toolpath
