3D Printing & DIY Projects
Here you have it, folks! I successfully electroplated a 3D ABS plastic print with copper. Its my first attempt and I’m rather pleased. I’ll have to keep tweaking my setup until my results improve and then finally I’ll plate with nickel. So far, Darth Vader is looking very stylish. Onward and upward!
I’m working on one last project before school starts…. Cutting it close but here goes. More to come later, this is just a taste. Metallic Darth Vader.
This print took 14.5 hours to complete. The print had minor flaws but overall impressive print. A new duration record has been reached on my 3D Printer. 🙂 Click below for the image gallery.
My first complex scaffolding print. This print also broke my longest elapsed print time record. This print clocked in at a little over 10.5 hours. 🙂 Model: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:9832
