Selling 3D prints is easy with this complete kit. After applying a conductive coating, you can copper plat prints and finish them with a layer of nickel, chrome or another metal if desired. Think of decorative objects, housings, props, chess pieces and design parts that you can give exactly the desired look with patina or a bright metal finish.  <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Copper-plating 3D prints \u2013 applications and ideas<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Electroforming adds a real layer of copper to your 3D prints. This gives weight, strength and a realistic look. Popular applications include jewelry, scale models and display props, functional knobs and covers, art objects, and custom enclosures. After copper plating, you can apply patina for an aged effect or apply a follow-up layer such as nickel, chrome or bronze.   <\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">What is the difference between the galvanizing shop electroforming kits<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">All electroforming kits have the same basic content, with the exception of the conductive coatings and sealers. These differ per kit so that you use the right conductive coating for your material. You are free to test conductive coatings and sealers on a variety of objects and materials. You are not bound by what is in the title or description.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Watch the electroforming video below<\/h3>\n<p>The video below explains how to set up a bath, make an object conductive and then copper-plate it.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"verzinkshop koper electroforming kit\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/0AQlMC3Gn7M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Included in this kit<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The Galvanizing Shop 3D-Print Electroforming Kit contains choose a variation for details<\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>Bucket<\/li>\n<li>Galvanizing shop V-Brite 200 acid <a href=\"\/koper-elektrolyt-zuur-v-brite-200\/\">copper electrolyte<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Galvanizer copper rinse aid <a href=\"\/koper-glansmiddel-v-brite-x\/\">V-Brite X<\/a> with dosing syringe<\/li>\n<li>2 \u00d7 Galvanizing shop <a href=\"\/koper-anode\/\">copper anode<\/a><\/li>\n<li>2 \u00d7 anode filter cloth<\/li>\n<li>Connection cable for the anodes<\/li>\n<li>Circulation pump<\/li>\n<li>Nylon rod with clamps for hanging objects<\/li>\n<li>2 meters of 0.5mm copper wire<\/li>\n<li>2 meters of 0.25mm copper wire<\/li>\n<li>2 \u00d7 20 cm copper wire 2 mm for hanging anodes<\/li>\n<li>2 meters nylon thread to weigh down objects<\/li>\n<li>2 x 3D PCB Test Plate<\/li>\n<li>Brushes for the conductive paint<\/li>\n<li>Stirrers for the conductive paint<\/li>\n<li>About 10 connecting rings copper<\/li>\n<li>About 10 eye pins copper<\/li>\n<li>Fine sanding sheet<\/li>\n<li>Liquid filters for filtering contaminated electrolyte<\/li>\n<li>Baking soda for neutralization plus bucket<\/li>\n<li>Gloves<\/li>\n<li>Clear manual<\/li>\n<li>Optional lab power supply can be ordered\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li>5 amps with 3 liter kits<\/li>\n<li>10 amps with 6 and 12 liter kits<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">Supplied conductive paint<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"text-align: left;\">\n<li><a href=\"\/geleidende-verf-conserve-3d\/\">Galvanizing shop Conserve 3D<\/a> conductive and preservative graphite sealer for high details of 3D prints.
