I‘ll do! 🫡

It's tricky. A lot of the chemicals used in electroplating are toxic, quite expensive and there can be shipping restrictions. Additionally, companies with expertise use proprietary brightener formulas to get optimal results and they are very secretive about them. This means they can charge a lot. The stuff that Hen3Drik uses is from Tifoo which is a brand only available in the EU and is incredibly cheap and seemingly high quality compared to what we get in other countries. Here in Australia, there's a company called Caswell that sells a bunch of different Electroplating kits - one for Copper, one for Nickle, ones for Brass or Chrome etc. They're REALLY expensive. You can also DIY solutions yourself at least up to a point - for Copper, you need Copper Sulfate crystals (which is a topical medicine used with horses and can be acquired really cheap from equestrian or rural supply stores) and Sulphuric Acid (often sold as a paving cleaner or pool acid, but very quite dangerous to ship). Likewise you can make Nickle baths using NIckel Sulfate and acid. The tricky components are the brighteners and additives to make a really clean finish, these are the proprietary chemicals. There are some online recipes to make your own brightener or sometimes the electroplating companies sell the brightener separately - so you can save cash by DIY'ing the bulk copper or nickel solution and just paying for the brighteners. There's heaps of info online about this, a lot of DIY videos and plenty of advice. But the process is tricky, there's often a lot of trial and error around getting good results and doing large pieces like Hen3drik does takes a lot of experience and expertise and a lot of expensive electroplating solutions!!

“Accessibility to the consumer market” is a recipe for disaster. This is some industrial-accident grade shit.

@@AwestrikeFearofGods eh, resin 3d printers were only realistically commercially available until the technology caught up. Hoping some innovation could do the same for this.

😅 that hair! Btw, are you at the RMRRF? You could witness it there 🥳

Hi there @UncleJessy - yeah! It blew my mind too! You know when I am going to do something electroplated? Never! Ha ha ha. But it looks awesome!

💯

Those two go together like a fish and a motorbike.

@@KarriKoivusalooff the shelf equipment and practical effects?

Neither CGI nor practical effects are superior, both are good. CGI is not "easier" than practical effects, in the background you have a ton of overworked artists making the CGI work. The fault of CGI's bad rep comes down to bad management and or direction, imo.

CGI is more commonly used because changes can and WILL be done in post

Thank you, I’m thrilled what you’ll do with the magneto x!!

I can tell you long stories of failure and mistakes ☺️.

Thanks

Thanks!

Thank you, Waldo!!

Hi, i never missed your post. I actually look it up once in a while considering whether to do it or not. Give me time😉

It does seem like it would be particularly difficult to execute, but I have faith in your skills! Thanks Hendrix!

Thank you. I can see in analytics that viewers attention drops hard when I come up with this. Nevertheless I’ll keep saying it again and again. 😊

Thank you for these nice words

Thank you for your nice words

Danke ✌

Thank you for your kind words, Werner!

Yeah, that would be cool!

Danke, Alex!!

There is always a dip in the stats when the PPE scences are shown. Thanks!

Palladium is way less toxic.

​@@hen3drikThanks. Ya. Nickel electrolytes are not nice. And difficult to get due to restrictions. I use nickel from Dr .Galva which is available from Netherlands as it is sold to the general public. Not sure how it compares to the commercial stuff. Anyway I look forward to your next masterpiece..
