  1. The big reason I wanted to make something like this was... well, there were two reasons, I guess? One for stability. That's just obvious I think. But the _second_ reason was that the leads from my power supply were getting kind of corroded just from the fumes of the electrolyte being energised and I'm very pleased to say that this clearly stops that problem entirely. A+++ would print again.

    Also I can report that the plastic seemed as unaffected by all of this as one would think and hope. But it's good to see it work as hoped.

  6. well that used a lot of nickel in kind of an interesting pattern

    I _think_ the end - which was just as protected as these sides - got entirely drawn off, so I'm quite happy about that really

    (continued from mastodon.murkworks.net/@moira/ )

    I was a little worried that I'd end up with two solid bars of untouched metal down the sides but it clearly gets thinner on the way down so I think despite the lesser access to the electrolyte, it still gets picked up for plating and that's good!

  11. It's a TEST OBJECT!

    A bit of leftover copper wire. It was way shinier at first but it's got darker with more plating.

    Also, the area where the wire was is still very copper, so I need to rotate the position during the process, but I'm not understanding why it's such a large area.

  16. Like this! It's definitely less awkward. A longer wire would be better, though - and that does not require reprinting anything.

    hopefully the plastic is okay to use, i will find out

  31. @iFixit sometimes the tips are old and used and the plating has been damaged over the years/decades. the companies and/or products are no more, no more spare parts, but the iron is still good. Then what ? What about tipps on how to "repair" the "electro plating" of the tip ? #repair #electroplating

  36. Take 2 on printing these damn coins. The first attempt failed just before this point.

    Cleaning the plate with those itty bitty stars on it made out of springy PLA meant little tiny plastic shurikens went everywhere.

    Yeah, we're gonna have to vacuum today. Upside, maybe we'll also get to have a first go at electroplating a print today, too.

  44. the bits i plated yesterday i started in with the much lower voltages and more time and was pretty happy with the result so hopefully that'll keep being true

    but will it keep away the rust? that's what i actually care about here most
