Good gravy these builds never get old watching. So dang amazing watching these transformations in these prints
Thanks mate! Glad you like it! 😊
@UncleJessy When are you going to try this for your Prints?
IT BELONGS IN A MUSEUM!
Amazing, now I need to finish printing mine!
It belongs in a museum!
I don't watch many videos in full screen mode, but I always watch yours in full screen mode. This video especially gets full screen glory!
That had to be the most BEAUTIFUL creation you made. EXCELLENT
Dude... just wow!
This is next level 3D print art and very satisfying to watch, great work man!
somebody needs to show this channel to Adam Savage
Awww yeah. What a nice notification to get as I’m in bed watch TH-cam 😊
Next level printing, probably the best out there. Bravo
Wow...simply, wow.
Stunning
It belongs in a museum
Hendrik you just pioneered and is now on a next level. Thanks for sharing.
"It belongs in a museum!"
Amazing result!
Wow, das sieht echt beeindruckend aus!!!
Daaamn, you are good at this!
I just successfully electroplated my first 3d prints thanks to your videos. ( Just a few rings to start off with). And ironically I had this exact prop mind. Great to be able to see it come together.
Any tips on handling nickel electroplating? It is really super toxic?
beautiful work
I'm just in love with the attention to detail! Incredible 🔥
Incredible work!
So mesmerizing to watch!
Want to do it myself.
Looking forward to buy a kit and start with it! Thanks for your vídeos, friend!
amazing work!
Alter, sehr geil! Toll gemacht, weiter so!!!!
HERR IM HIMMEL! Das ist ja wunderschön!
You always do amazing work. Keep up the good work.
Good work !
absolutely brilliant
Thank you!
That thing sure does look like it belongs in a museum.
Great video! 👍
Great work and video
I think it goes without saying this is your best work ever
Well done.
Jeezus, look at these results!
amazing!
Outstanding awesome work
Every time I take another spin at electroplating, it is after watching one of your videos.
Wow 👏 👏 👏
Thats amazing work what you are doing there, I has a electroplating setup here that I still need to set up, well done.
wow beautiful mate
Gorgeous, as always. I recently went to Munich for holiday and purchased the copper paint you used and brought it back for testing. The results with that paint really can't be under-emphasized - It's by far the easiest to use conductive paint I've encountered or managed to make. It's a shame Tifoo doesn't ship outside of Germany, it shames every conductive paint I've ever bought for testing here in the states.
Excellent work. I personally would not believe that such a thing is 3D printed if I didn't see the video. You are starting to make things worth displaying in museums.
😅
Wow!
God bless you bro you are the best
Wow. Now that I’ve actually finished it, incredible job man! You really went all out.
I loved use of the blue paint and epoxy, especially you showing your different ratios for the blue on 3D printed squares. Definitely going to try that!
Also the mother of Pearl inlays, super nice. Really cool to see you use other crafts methods in this project.
Thank you for your comment! 😃
What quality of video I just saw, excellent work I loved it, congratulations new sub
Man your killing it with these mind-blowing builds!
Thank you man!
3CPO lookin better than ever !
Great!
I wonder if reflecting mirror for telescope could be made this way...
all best!
I used to play a game named "global operations", some kind of fps game, there's one mission located in Argentina as a "robber" to steal a gold-plated cross just like one in the video, never thought some random on my feed give me nostalgic vibes 😅
Hey, if you run your prints under hot water the supports will be much easier to remove and the results are much cleaner as well. Also would you have a cross section that shows the thickness of the metal that gets adhered to one of your prints, I'd like to see a sample of the finished results of how much metal sticks to a print. Again, another job well done!!!💯🔥
awsome
facepunch "It belongs in a museum"
Ein super Arbeit ! würde es auch gern Versuchen - aber alles im kleinen Rahmen (wenig Platz)😀👍
That's really cool! Can you describe how to make two color coatings? For example - make silver color ring with yellow scull in the center?
You are the electoplting master! How are you getting such small prints without them warping?
What's the difference between using a pen and using a bath? I plan on using one of those methods to try and restore the gold colour on one of my collectibles; would it work on a part that is just diecast?
Also, how did you get rid of all the bubbles in the epoxy?
Die Qualität deiner Videos und Projekte ist auf jeden Fall enorm gestiegen :D.
Danke dir vielmals!
Awesome! I just purchased an electroplating set and I would love to know how you made the turning mechanism with the servo. Where can I find the stl's for that?
I wonder if these plating could withstand some force like sliding rails, bearings, or just br coated for resin on top. Would love to see transforming/alternating props with this method eithout extra weight.
It was beautiful, simply spectacular, my Almighty God bless you always with the talent he has given you.
Even without the talking and explanations, your content is still just great to watch
Thank you so much 😊
I knnw Ironing on the slicer adds a lot of extra time, but wouldn't you save that time with needed post processing?
also i missed this, but what is the function of the envelops around the nodes?
Looks great…one quick comment about steel wool…..soak it in acetone for a little bit to get rid of the oil it is coated in from the factory….
This is superlative! just incredible. How many hours do you think this project took in total? At some point, it might be faster to go look for the REAL Cross of Coronado! LOL
Hey, thank you very much for linking the items you use in the description, however none of them I can order in the U.S. Are there any other products that you know of that I could order in the States or could I possibly find them at local hardware stores maybe? I don't know exactly what specifications I should be looking for when shopping for these things. For instance, if there's some kind of electrolyte or varnish I should be avoiding because it won't work as well for electroplating.
Absolut geil 👌👌 hab mir viele Tipps von dir abgeschaut 😉 wie machst du das aber mit dem Draht wenn du das ganze Teil darin einwickelst? Ich habe meistens das Problem dass sich um den Draht das Kupfer aufbaut und es dann aussieht als wäre da wo der Draht Kontakt hatte ein Riss wäre🤔
Thanks, an unauffälliger Stelle platzieren. Darhtposition wechseln. VG
Great build man! A lot of effort that definitely paid off in the end. Did you explore electropolishing any more since your last video? Keep making and we’ll keep watching!
Thanks. The decorative parts at the ends of the cross have been electropolished. I‘ll keep trying.
@@hen3drik It’s so good seeing how your videos and post processing techniques are evolving so fast. The pop up instructions on the video were a nice addition also. Cant wait to see what you do next!
The penitent man!
"Penitent...penitent man...penitent man"
@HEN3DRIK - Electroplating 3D Prints What grit sandpaper do you sand with and where do you source the conductive paint? BTW great videos!
600, 1200, 2000. diy graphite conductive paint or tifoo copper conductive paint.
Impressive work!
What song plays in the "Assembly of the cross of coronado" section starting around 9:30? I tried a couple music ID apps but no results. Thanks
Thank you. It's this song: www.storyblocks.com/audio/stock/non-artificial-intelligence-347437749.html
@@hen3drik Thank you!
Would you be able to share the files for the mount/holder you made where you put the parts on?
Wahnsinn da hast du dich wieder selbst übertroffen! Ein Kunstwerk! Wie hast du die einzelnen Komponenten dann miteinander verbunden? Also ich denke mal geklebt, wenn ja welchen Kleber hast du da genutzt? Vg und ich hoffe noch auf viele weitere Videos :D
Respekt :)
Stunning 😍
Its a bit upsetting that I can't find nice conductive paint spray here in Australia
It sucks indeed. The best I've found is from Caswel but it's really expensive and very hit-and-miss. All the Tifoo electroplating stuff used here looks amazing and costs a lot less than what we get here in Aus, but it's not sold outside of Europe. No easy way to import it either.
you can make your own conductive paint by mixing graphite powder with india ink or mod podge. India ink is better for preserving details, while mod podge is good for large flat surfaces. Alternatively, you can mix graphite powder with Mr. Hobby or Tamiya clear paints, this works about the same as india ink. @@bluelotuslandscapes

Fantastic work! Just wonderful! Just wondering how durable is the electroplating? Might it be able to withstand daily wear and tear?
Thank you! It's pretty durable, won't flake off. Make sure to add a thick layer of gold.
Mal wieder sehr gut geworden - absolut faszinierend. Ich habe mich beim Anschauen gefragt, wieso diesmal mit einer Kupferblech/Nickelblech gearbeitet wurde und nicht wie in den anderen Videos mit Zweien? Würde mich freuen, es erklärt zu bekommen.
Um mehr Abstand zu den Anoden zu haben. Geht auch mit einer. Die Anode sollte nur mind. die gleiche Oberfläche haben wie der Print.
i was looking for the materials but i cant find them. could you post an amazon links? every video that i see is a video that make me want to try this amazing method. Leaving my like and a hug.
I updated the description.
hello, why do you use steel wool on the anode before you electroplate?
When you were using the sandpaper at the 7:12 mark, you sanded down the surface after the copper plating was applied. Can you also sand copper conductive paint in the same fashion?
The conductive layer is very thin. You should not even touch it 😅
Wahnsinn, das sieht echt klasse aus! 😁👍👏👏👏 Mich würde mal interessieren wie oft oder lange man die Elektrolyt Flüssigkeiten verwenden kann.
Ich verwende ihn seit 2018. regelmäßig filtern und auf den glanzzusatz achten.
@@hen3drik super, danke für den Hinweis! 😁👍
How much would it theoretically cost to try something like this myself? This is amazing. I love your channel
Langsam aber sicher drehst du leicht durch mit den Projekten oder? :-D Super Arbeit!
Sehr Cool, Why are you doing the different coats, silver, nikel, before gold?
Long story short: the electrolytes need certain orders to deposit on each other.
I really like the gizmo you are using to slowly rotate the piece while it is in the solution. i've heard rumors that the design and 3d print for the gizmo is available, however, I can't seem to find it anywhere. Is this your design or did you source it from somebody else? I'd really like to make or get one. Can you point me in a direction? I'd also like to compliment you on your videos. Very well done!
Love you videos! I have a question.. If I can't get copper electrolyte with brightener (only can get the normal one) I'm assuming my copper coat will not be anywhere as shiny as yours come out. Will this effect the coat of nickel? Making it also not shiny ?
Exactly. Shine comes from the surface. You have the option to polish the copper layer before nickel plating though.

Now I'm curious how much gold you needed for that plating.
Is it have to be coated in order starting from copper, nickel and finally gold? Is there an explanation why we do that? Can't we coat in gold without Cu or Ni?
When you electroplate with copper do you need to use a brightening solution or can you just make your own aqueous copper
you don't need a brightening solution, but it's highly recommended. Without a brightener, your piece will come out dull and will need a lot more polishing, although there is a process called 'electropolishing', where you place your part in phosphoric acid, and apply voltage to polish your part. Electropolishing is more expensive that just buying a brightener, but it'll give your part a good shine. here is a video on making your own aqueous copper solution: th-cam.com/video/E5jRqZipnIU/w-d-xo.html and here is a video on electropolishing: th-cam.com/video/5HFJT_sf-W0/w-d-xo.html
Do you need to buy polishing supplies or can you just use a microfiber cloth?@@WariceHimSelf
Saucool das Kreuz! Welche Dicke von Kupferdraht verwendest du?
Und hat 4:29 keinen Effekt auf die Endqualität, dass die Einzelteile hier noch über einen Steg verbunden sind?
Aber die Kette passt leider ned so wirklich gut finde ich.
0.4mm Stärke. 4:29 keinen Effekt, da nicht sichtbar. Kette, I know.
Awsome video with great results!
Where do you buy your copper paint? I've bought some and diluted it with xylene 6:1(!) but it just keeps clogging :(
I use 4µm graphite powder with acetone or conductive copper paint (acetone based) from a company called tifoo (EU only)
I get conductive copper pain from caswell plating, it works well, although you should only thin it with water. you can also make your own thin conductive paint by mixing graphite powder with india ink or a clear model paint such as the ones from Mr. Hobby or Tamiya.
hi, friend. very good job, where can I get the printed support for the bucket? greetings from Chile
I‘ll make a video special about it.
What is that copper paint?? Please 🥺
Whats the liquid in the bath
How do you bind the pieces together? What sort of adhesive
I use hot glue and metal glue (when I glue metal to metal).
That is gorgeous. Do you have any recommendations to avoid the nickel step? I am allergic to nickel and think this would be bad for me lol!
You can use palladium instead of nickel to get the diffusion barrier between cu and au
look into palladium, rhodium or chrome, they're much more expensive but will work about the same
nice! what's the first soundtrack name?
