I think you forgot to put the amazon link for the electronics.

I take it this works with nickel electrolyte

Thank you 😊

Hi, have any of you managed to get such a shiny result? I tried 14 times, being more and more careful but I can't get a super shiny product like yours when I extract it from the blue liquid after 4 hours, it comes out clear but opaque

Awesome video Im still learning I wished to ask , how to get the graphite paint shiny ? I use a spray one already made in a can , when I touch the item even gently and even with a primer underside it came off Im pretty upset XD even cause if you do not get it shiny the copper takes like 5 times more to cover the item

burke?

I was reading some research on india ink with additives like graphite for another reason earlier today. A point the researchers said was critical in one analysis was sonicating the solution before use to break up clumps and create a more homogenous mix. For small vials or dropper bottles I use a cheap a** lab agitator for test tubes, works great and if you throw in mixing balls you can just retrieve them later or leave them in for the next batch.

Water and graphite 😂

How long to cure a painted object, before putting it in the electroplating bath ?

may you share mixture ratio of ink with graphite powder please...

I tried graphite paint but it doesnt seem to conductive well for some reason? Fully dried and cured but it will not attrack any copper particals. Do I need to polish the graphite or something as this has not been mentioned it seems.

What about mixing graphite in resin and then print

Interesting, I've literally never heard of resin "going bad" after a few weeks, that sounds extremely wasteful. I've left resin in my vat for months and just stirred it to remix the pigment and go from there without any issues. Also Vat Clean works great with an object in it that works like a handle so you don't need to dunk fingers into the vat. Some people use old supports.

Thanks! Great video.

Blundered onto your video months after you published. The india ink makes sense as to why it it's so compatible with the graphite vs the others. Recalling from HS Art classes - india ink is carbon black (fine, fine powdered charcoal) in an alcohol as the solvent/carrier. It might be possible for you to 'eliminate' the india ink and just use the same alcohol solvent/carrier with your graphite powder, if it's fine enough. But, that's just me armchair quarterbacking, not from experience, yet. Thank you for the great video!

Hi, thanks for the video. I want to bronze plate hardened steel to improve the "wear in" properties of parts but there is very little info on bronze plating. Can you do a video... with less singing 😊. Can you cover the making of the solution, voltage, Amps etc. Thanks.

I found it interesting that India ink is working and then i looked on the Wikipedia page for India ink and they said it is a suspension of lampblack (carbon soot) and water though it can also have gelatin or shellac added to aid in durability… my bet is shellac as i have heard of conductive paints that use shellac. Though i thought shellac only dissolved in denatured alcohol or similar. I would be curious if a thinned shellac to be like the ink with the graphite but not the lamp black would work better or worse.

thank you so much. I'm in a very similar place. I really needed this help. Greetings from Argentina

Equal parts by weight? By volume?

Thanks for this video, really helpful for a beginner like me.

What should the part be showing for continuity with a multimeter ohm test?

Nice video! A quick question, the Cu-plated piece looks like a steamed salmon, I mean looks not glossy; what treatment should be processed after Cu plating? Maybe I missed it

💖💖💖💖

Thank you. Informative. I also wonder how to recycle or where to get rid of old resin. And environmentally correct ways ofc. Thanks!

Now mass produce them and sell them to hospitals as an alternative to the stupidly expensive and boring Vocera communication devices we use.

Great video thanks

I thought to see more what you can do with it and how the electronics is working. And which one you used.

Incredible! I had thought of doing something similar years ago. After seeing what you went through, I'm glad I never started it. I would have gotten really frustrated and given up shortly into the project. Thank you for sharing this.

Heh, I did a bit over a year ago as well.

I love your work and all… but you know, you can buy a bluetooth Star Trek badge and if you really wanted it electroplated, you could just do that?

great work!

A TNG style badge woulda given you a lot of extra space given you thickened it a bit

yay for the amazing project! maybe look into the Fairbuds' electronics for more compact audio input output over bluetooth with good battery life but boo for the AI music

Use PCB board for insides (micro sized)? PCB way can make it for you?

Great Work! We'd love to offer you some parts, like 3DP or CNC machining if you might need them in the upcoming content. (PCBWayDaisy)

I honestly think you might have had a better experience with the TNG communicator design rather than Discovery. For one, some of the props are already thicker, plus they have the extra space due to the gold oval behind the silver delta.

When flip phones came out I said, why don’t they make one like a star trek communicator? Then when tiny Bluetooth earphones came out I thought, why don’t they make a comm badge. I feel like it was all a missed opportunity. Great work!

Which ratio did you use?

A deep dive into audio user interface theory and accessibility would be very interesting, especially with respect to the full function of Star Trek based audio queues - at least I think so.

I have some ideas for v2 if your interested. You might consider an inducer, rather than a speaker. the housing itself would be the speaker. Great project!

Looks cool. But why not just use cellphone speakers? That speaker is huge. Using those could make it thinner. Maybe an idea for version 2. 🤔 Still amazing and having that dedication for making a working com badge. 👍

"I can make that", seems like a lost opportunity...

if Apple can squeeze all that bluetooth goodness, with several hour of run time, into the size of AirPods, then it should be possible to put more punch into a smallish Com-Batch !

Although very awesome. Out of curiosity, why weren’t the (inside) components of Bluetooth earbuds, wired for each ear piece, considered? The battery and electronics are both within 1/2” wide and less than 2” inches long, though the board awfully small and very thin. Along with replacing the earbuds to the speaker used? Again, still a very cool build and outcome.

Thanking the algorithm

Amazing dude. Great job

4:20 Despite the ironinc timestamp, am i the only one who noticed he's grabbin the wrong eye prot here? Might protect yer eyes from flying debris but not from fumes or liquid splashing and with that much acid and heat ya really need chem goggles. I'd recommend chem goggles and a full face shield, but I used to do printmaking with nitric acid baths and large(ish) copper plates so I get paranoid about acid splashes from my own exposure.

Nice work. It would be interesting to see how smaller you could get with either a custom board, or one from AliExpress. Also a smaller speaker.

H2SO4 is not the same acid as in your stomach. HCl - Hydrochloric acid is in your stomach. Though I don't recommend carelessness around strong solutions of Hcl either. Review your WHMIS and read the data sheets before proceeding, and wear protective equipment even when working with weaker concentrations (cleaning etc.)

Love it. Now where can I buy one! Take my money!
