HEN3DRIK - Electroplating 3D Prints
HEN3DRIK - Electroplating 3D Prints
Moin, in this channel I present different ways how you can make crazy stuff with your 3D printers, 3D printing or other stuff. Often it is electroforming/electroplating, as how to deposit metal on prints. If you have any questions, feel free to comment, I will answer (almost) everything. 😃
These are some ingrediens I often use for electroplating:
Chemicals
🛒 Bright Copper Electrolyte: amzn.to/3zk2S1F *
🛒 Conductive Copper Paint amzn.to/47cpbpR *
🛒 Palladium Electrolyte amzn.to/3DDr8hD *
🛒 Gold Electrolyte (Pen) amzn.to/44NNwRp *
🛒 Gold Electrolyte (Bath) amzn.to/3QJoInD *
🛒 GRAPHITE Paint amzn.to/3YtPZhD *
🛒 Galvanic Degreaser amzn.to/3rV4v5r *
🛒 PEAK Tech 30A: amzn.to/3V5rdo7 *

@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.
I purchased this one: cults3d.com/de/modell-3d/spiel/hd-master-sword-game-accurate-sword-legend-of-zelda I then modeled a cylinder for the rod in there. I cannot remember what resin I’ve used but I think it was anycubic or elegoo basic resin.
@@hen3drik thank you, sir. I’ll try that model out. Awesome video, btw =)
There's gotta be an easier way!
Will it work on pla and abs printing?
Yes
@@hen3drik oh yes
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 ?
Always use personal protective equipment (PPE)! My acidic copper electrolyte is relatively safe. Ensure good ventilation, preferably do it outside.
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?
Yes. Move it around.
Can you electroplate multiple items at once? For example I have many small pieces ~2cm ea
You actually should! 😉
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.
I use this technique for evenness now. It’s working so good, thank you.
@@hen3drik Glad it helped your process. Nothing is foolproof, but this is almost. 👍
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 $$$$$?
There is even a cheaper method. I’ll show soon.
Waooooooooooooooo
Wie immer absolut geniale Arbeit 👌 Welche Düse verwendest du bei deiner Airbrush ? Mir verstopft die sobald ich den verdünnten Lack einfülle 🤐
0.5mm
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?
Wie bekommst Du die Layer weg?
Does this guy do this as a business by chance? I have a unique piece I need to get electroplated but I can’t afford to cover the startup cost to do it myself like I had intended.
what copper spray??
Du hast die Technik echt perfektioniert!
Vielen Dank!
Truly amazing.
One ring to fit them all
The final results are breathtaking.
What paint do you use?
Fun fact. They actually used a prop of similar size for close ups of the ring
The one in the snow, it think it’s huge, right?
@@hen3drik Exactly
I'd happily pay you to make for me some real sized 'gold saint' armor from Saint Seiya original anime series, piece by piece electroplated 😁
Now that amazing, Loving the music and your Logo.
Beautiful as always!
Now you can brag that you have killed a Balrog even if it was wearing The One Ring...
Hello, can you please electroplate a complex print with internal channels? this would be really cool if you could pull it off!
That electroplating is verry cool! :D
FDM printer are not that bad usually. 😅
Not at all
im really struggling with copper plating a 3d print i used a graphite paint that stated specifically for electro playing, i buffed it too, i have tried to use copper acetate insteaf of copper sulphate, as i had acetic acid already how ever no matter what i set the voltage or current to, i get minimal plating that is spotty, and the part ends up covered in a brown crud instead, what am i doing wrong ?
I can see far too many uses for this and its scary.... because GOD DAMMIT MY GARAGE IS ALREADY FULL!
Juhu hast du auch einen deutschen Kanal?
Can this sort other type of beads? Like pearls, Swarovskies etc
Do you use polish? Or just a microfiber cloth?
Too much cost!
