  • Let me show you how to create super shiny + gloss 3D Prints with my DIY Graphite Paint and by #electroplating. #3dprinting and metal plating combined will create convincing objects for your prop collection or the next comic con. #tutorial
    This is the stuff I used for electroforming/electroplating in this video.
    Chemicals for the prints:
    🛒 Copper Anode: amzn.to/42XdwZS *
    🛒 Bright Copper Electrolyte: amzn.to/3zk2S1F *
    🛒 Gold Electrolyte amzn.to/44NNwRp *
    🛒 Palladium Electrolyte amzn.to/3DDr8hD *
    Optional:
    🛒 Conductive Copper Paint amzn.to/47cpbpR *
    🛒 Galvanic Degreaser amzn.to/3rV4v5r *
    These binders were used BUT others will probably work as well:
    🛒 UHU Hart amzn.to/48lYH5R *
    🛒 UHU plus schnellfest 2amzn.to/45WvUDq *
    I used this printer:
    🛒 ELEGOO Mars 4 9K www.elegoo.com/products/elego... *

    Thank you! It was your channel that stated me down the path of electroplating resin prints, and I've been watching ever since. You do a really good job explaining everything, and the results you have are inspiring.
    I've been experimenting with graphite conductive paint for months, with very mixed results using everything from different inks and glues as the binder, different amounts of graphite, etc. I also purchased silver conductive paint (really good, but really expensive), and nickel conductive paint (not so conductive and too thick for airbrush). If I could afford silver conductive paint, then I'd always use that.
    I used your recipe, but couldn't get the same UHU glue locally here in Australia. I substituted with Gorilla Super Glue XL. I think the concept here is it needs to dissolve in solvent so the glue becomes more binding once the Acetone evaporates off. The glue needs to adhere to resin plastic really well, so I went with a super glue. After a few tests, I found the following works best:
    40g Acetone
    2g Gorilla Super Glue
    5g Graphite
    This only required 2 coats to obtain an even coat of copper. Each coat dried in under a minute (used airbrush to dry the part), and I polished with a cloth and toothbrush between coats. This works well airbrushing or dipping the part. Haven't tried brushing it on yet.
    I feel I've discovered the holy grail of conductive paint, and all thanks to you.
    Thanks again. Looking forward to more great content.

  • @smokeduv
    @smokeduv Před 9 měsíci +2

    Nice video! I have a question. Can they be used for brass plating? I mean, after the copper plating, rinsing them with an alcaline bath with zinc to get them covered with a nice zin plating and then heating them to get the copper migrate to the surface, giving it the golden look typical of brass. If it can be done it would be great for “gold plating” stuff that we don’t really need or want a real gold plating for like props or things like that. All this while being easier and cheaper. Not to get away with gold, it’s just for different uses. Gold is fragile when in 24k form, but if you want really really bright gold you can’t go wrong with real gold

    • @hen3drik
      @hen3drik  Před 9 měsíci +2

      I don't know what kind of binder would work like what he has, but I have been having great luck with a mixture of just Speedball India Ink and graphite powder. Start with a 50/50 mix then adjust as needed. I did 5 tbsp of ink and 6 tbsp of graphite, worked pretty good, made it through an airbrush no problem, just need to clean the airbrush really good immediately after using. Water works fine for that too which is pretty awesome. Just follow the same steps in the vid, spray, polish, spray, polish etc... for a really good base layer. You are looking for continuity of less than 4k, but I can easily get less than 1k. Just make sure whatever you are spraying on is nice and clean, and any under layers are fully cured. Any off gassing will cause the graphite to crack, which looks super cool if that is the effect you are going for

    Great video. I was looking into the binder. It looks like the Epoxy Part 1 is the epoxy only, not the harter (hardener). In that case the Binder under the UHU SDS that Hen3drik used is bisphenol-a-(epichlorhydrin) epoxy resin or BPA. Of course this is the same BPA that has health effects for brain, prostate gland of fetuses to children, so exercise caution and PPE. Or find an alternative epoxy resin as your binder.

      I really appreciate your information. Can UHU be used as a binder to mix with other products as shown in the video?

    • @MuseumGoon
      @MuseumGoon Před 7 měsíci

      It probably can since it's basically only the BPA portion. I ended up using PVA white glue as my binder with graphite powder instead of BPA for the safe side. It's the same formula as wire glue. It may need more binder than BPA.
