**I have not received any of the products shown free of charge, nor do I have any relationship with the manufacturer.*

For this you need:
A 3D print. Doesn't matter what material.
DC power supply. 5A is ok.

For the galvanic bath:
a container
copper electrolyte (sour)
one or two copper anodes
banana plug & alligator clips

For the galvanic brush:
Palladium electrolyte
(24K) Gold electrolyte
Galvanic brush
2 graphite rod anodes
2 nonwoven sleeves

You also need:
Degreaser
Distilled water
Conductive Copper Spray. Make sure that it can be used with your copper electrolyte.

Have fun. Try it. 🧡
