This is incredible, I have never heard of this method before! I wish I had the resources to attempt this myself but I’m no chemist. Very impressive!

[@hanmetalworks]

i had been using brass sheet metal and soldering to make metal components on a diy watch smart watch i've been working on and it sucked. definitely going to try this method in the future

[@furniturechair2658]

Absolutely epic, just got my 3d printer working, I'm not sure about all this yet but I'll keep it in the back of my mind for later

[@mackten1909]

What printer you get and how much

[@furniturechair2658]

@mackten1909 this was a while ago, but it was an ender 3, can't remember the price,

[@seekertosecrets]

Interesting. Didn't realize you can print something that thin on such a large nozzle.

[@ethancarr8942]

I’m definitely a bit late to this series of videos however if you have the ingredients to make copper electrolyte in your country chances are you can make your own nickel sulphate as all you need is nickel, battery acid and hydrogen peroxide and you can make your own nickel sulphate

[@Selmeras15]

Amazing🎉

[@sebastianjuara]

i FUCKING LOVE COMPOSITES!!!!!!!!!!!

[@freeformcanvas9317]

Godmode!!!!

[@BioStuff415]

wow...

[@haoshun-tech]

👍

[@bob12197]

I know how much work you put into this but please I want to see how it takes a projectile like in iron man

[@jaypatel-xz6tr]

Does the final product in this video contain the carbon fiber laminate?

[@justad00d76]

i'd love to see ideas on how to add some tech into the helmet. I'm not super informed on the requirements or difficulties in things like soldering electronics, but I'd love to see something like methods for making custom curved flux plates to make custom headphones, a mic and speakers to make your voice sound robotic, maybe adding lights that don't blast your eyes, but actually look legit, maybe even adding a way to wirelessly pair it to your phone like a bluetooth, etc.

А нельзя пропустить гальванизацию медью перед никелем?

[@vahroom]

omg

[@adhmesmael]

Where are u bru 😢😢

[@clonedelta22]

I have to wonder how much it would cost to make a helmet in this fashion.

[@kigra5101]

Can we electroplate a 🐔

[@kigra5101]

It would be iron 🐔
