Electroplate 3D Prints Easily (Coat Anything With Metal)

Electroplating 3D prints with copper makes your parts stronger and better looking. This is my station v1. It's great because you don't need sulphuric acid and can buy all the parts and ingredients easily. I plan on making a v2 with a separate power supply for higher-quality parts and maybe even nickel plating.

Parts:
electrolyte ingredients and a container - hardware store

Thanks, a short video to the point, I am really tired of long videos

graphite paint as a primer before plating helps a lot

[Flawthunder]

Bro this vid should have much more views

[schrnorusade]

You made me laugh so bad when the first result came out😂😂, but the improvement of the plating is so impressed! Your explaining of the iron charging and process of plating is the first video that I can follow up and feel can do coating by myself confidently. Really appreciate your explaining step by step. Looking forward your new updates!

I put WD-40 on parts that are mechanical for 3D prints and it turns a lot of them that usually gets stuck or don't move into parts that move flawlessly so you might want to check that out next time you try to make a gearbox or any mechanical part. It has helped me immensely so hopefully it helps you too

[TazerEngineering]

Also, let me know what I should electroplate next! Whether it's a mechanical part or decoration.

A better printer (something with Klipper) would be able to print the gearbox much easier (Ex: my Neptune 3 could not print screw threads. My Neptune 4 could.
Also you could use a continuous servo instead of motor

Where I can download your 3d printing file? It's awesome

Can you sell a copy of your dc motor gear reduction box set?

This is what my electroplated parts look like, I have 0 clue how H3ndrik plates things so they're immediately shiny, it's kind of insane

[superkoksu]

that gelatin is just gpt4 being dead wrong, they made it pretty stupid recently but everyone got even dumber in the meantime so nobody noticed.

[abderrahmanegorram]

bro how you have 1.14k!! bruh you need 1G subscribers

[theotherhive]

don't use chatgpt for that ??? lmao ???

Thanks so much for the upload. I've finally dipped my toe into the metal plating 3D print field. All the help I can get probably won't be enough. Thanks, again for the video and tips. Keep up the good work. Great watch.




Will you go to Heaven when you die? Here’s a quick test: Have you ever lied, stolen, or used God’s name in vain? Jesus said, whoever looks with lust has already committed adultery in their heart. If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, blasphemous, adulterer at heart, and the Bible warns that one day God will punish you in a terrible place called Hell. But God is not willing that any should perish. Sinners broke God’s Law and Jesus paid their fine. This means that God can legally dismiss their case: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” Then Jesus rose from the dead, defeating death. Today, repent and trust Jesus, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift. Then read the Bible daily and obey it. God will never fail you.

your not turning the print into metal, your coating it in metal. misleading title.

*LOL...brushed. That part wasn't optimal. Are truly german? Recommend using a copper pipe and touch the "brush" wire to that.*
