I tried the exact graphite recipe from the same company (4 micron graphite, uhu binder and some pure acetone). The results were not great, it took 6 coats and a light polish with microfibre cloth in between just to get 1.7Kohms. It basically didn't adhere properly to the print so being slightly too rough with the microfibre took it off. A big thank you to one of the commenters here (@Robert-cl8oy) on using 2g Gorilla Super Glue in place of the 1g UHU. It worked perfectly! 1st coat= 3Mohm, 2nd coat =1.3Kohm, 3rd coat= 700ohm. Each layer dried in under a minute and binded really well to the part. Worked well with a 0.4 airbrush.

Thanks mate.. U solved my problem

What benefit does the coffee filters allow?

where do we buy the led eyes?

Hi, Thank you for this tutorial ! The surface of the helmet requieres 30Amps for electroplating but I guess the surface should be reduce of 50% since the inside won’t be plated and the power supply also no ? 1A/dm2 right ?

Can you just leave it as copper

Hey, cool project. The Pokeball is really looking nice. I'm trying to get into electroplating resin parts myself. Can you give me some tips please?🙂 Is the car filler necessary for the hight accuracy of resin prints? Also the red finish looks really nice. What acrylic paint are you using. I can only find normal acrylic paints for airbrush systems. Not transparent ones. Thank you soo much in advance.

How difficult is it to have the name of the device that is electroplating the prints?

Great video can you please increase the volume of the music next time

That’s amazing

The LEDs you used for the light up eyes, do you have a link for them? Looks fantastic by the way!

Are there or rather do you have any books , papers , manuals on what you do. Would like to try it but not just from your videos. I’m NOT meaning anything bad on what you show. I just need something I can read. I LOVE WHAT YOU DO

Das sieht wirklich fantastisch aus! Kannst du sagen, wie viel Stunden du ungefähr für den gesamten Prozess gebraucht hast?

There are no Dragons in Aztec mithology my friend, let not a cool looking model deceive you. There are only feathered snakes, not Dragons, nor Horses and many other things.

Does anyone know how many times the solution can be used? For example how many full lightsabers can be plated?

Top notch! Subscribed! Though, could you tell us what kind of LED you used for eyes? I love them!

That's so cool!

Thank you so much for this video! I never thought to use spray car filler to hide layer lines. Will be using these tips!

Did you get to a point where you can consistently produce quality results on new pieces? Or is it always trial and error bases on the size and geometry of the piece?

I was looking for this in exactly this level of detail and explanation, thanks.

Hey, do you think electro plated 2 3D printing gears would have an advantage? I’m thinking lighter and cheaper than cnc gears but still stronger and plastic gears so less wear and tear

For the amulet, is there a reason why you need to wrap it instead of just having the wire hang in the solution through available holes in the part?

@HEN3DRIK Could you post the model that you purchased? Also, could you talk a little bit about the type of resin that you used? I've tried printing these parts with Siraya Tech's Fast ABS-Like resin, but I'm getting distortions in my prints to where things don't always match up very well.

There's gotta be an easier way!

Will it work on pla and abs printing?

What’s the point of doing 3 layers? Copper, nickel, gold. Why not to leave copper (rose gold)? Why not gold over copper? Why not gold right onto conductive paint? Nube here, hello😅

Means that with method 2 or 3 it does‘t matter if FDM or Resin prints…

Absolutely amazing work, I been following for vids for about a year now. How does the plating uphold against washes? I really want to try this on a car emblem for the outside.

Thanks so much for the upload. You're the reason I'm getting into electroplating. I was wondering if you had a link to that rotary jig or something like it? Thanks, again so much. I'm eager to try my hand at this. Keep up the good work. 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.

Do you sell the design for the rotary jig somewhere?

Hello, exactly which Binder product have you used? The graphite powder and acetone are clear, but there are many Binders and small differences make it impossible to use them with an airbrush.

That finish is fire

Woah…

Servus hendrik kurze frage wie ist das mit dem Kupferelektrolyt enstehen da nicht giftige Gase beim beim beschichten ? :) hast du da irgenwelche vorkerungen ?

Hello, I have been looking for this type of process for a long time, it is really very useful, is there any possibility that you could help me, and guide me to be able to do the same, I have printers but the flsun v400 are normal. It is possible that you could help me copy your process??

So nice Work Hendrik ❤

Just a tip for your viewers: this is stupidly expensive. ;)

Do your hanging wires attach to the item being plated?

Can you electroplate multiple items at once? For example I have many small pieces ~2cm ea

Awesome work my friend. Your attention to detail is amazing. I do have a tip on the primer sanding step though. If you use a contrasting color of primer and put a very light dusting coat over the grey, it will show you all the low spots and scratches because they stay the contrast color as you sand until they are actually gone. This is an old body shop trick called Tracer coat, or guide coat. It will enable you to get a perfect finish and those scratches and low spots can't hide from you. This also works with wet sanding as well, which is my preferred way to sand parts. Less mess and the slurry helps the process.

What Kindle of paint do you use?

more new videos please! ::)

Heck i would be very happy with the original one you made before the metallic was added , , , ,😸👍👍

Is it possible to plate in silver and use some kind of transparent Gold paint to get a Gold look to save $$$$$?

Waooooooooooooooo

Wie immer absolut geniale Arbeit 👌 Welche Düse verwendest du bei deiner Airbrush ? Mir verstopft die sobald ich den verdünnten Lack einfülle 🤐

Did he mention what the total cost was? Is this cheaper than just buying something like that LOL?

Moin? Wohen Sie in Hamburg?. ;) Ich bin aus Kolumbien, hier ich habe kein Conductive Paint, danach ich habe gemacht mit Graphite und Acrilic Paint... aber die texture ist kein sauber... Ich werde versuche polisch die texture mit ein TumblerMachine wie in deine Video. (Ich spreche einwischen deutsch weil ich war in Bergerdorf gensem 2018 🤓)

I love that you electro plate things goes to show old tricks from our past still stay relevant

i think they have a FDM filament that can be smoothed out by alcohol so you don't have to sand as many layer lines?
