Do you know of anyone being successful at electro-etching brass? I can get it to darken easily but not actually etch to any depth. Thank you , nice video!
I haven tried it, but then i guess one would need a different electrolyte then Saltwater. Try it with Citric Acid or Acetic acid (Just Vinegar) from your Supermarke. I can imagine that going acidic could help.
@@klmindustries4812 I have tried with vinegar and salt added with no effect. I even tried increased current to 6 amps 12V and not etching, however the oxide deposit was outstanding.
I bought mine from the Dr. Galva store, its the MCL Power LBN 305. Try looking for a Variable DC Power Supply, or Laboratory Power Supply. Range should be between 0-30V and at least up to 5A. Up to 10A if you also plan to use it for galvanic stuff. Hope you can find something ^^.
Any adjustable DC power supply should do, you can find a lot online or your local stores. Wanptek, Hanmatek, LongWei, Korad are brands you can look for. I do have LongWei although I did not use it for engraving yet since I am still about to purchase the stencil tape.
I have it set to 12 volts. You don't need to set an Amperage, that results from the resistance of your workpiece. If I remember correctly it pulls like 1 Amp, so pretty much every power supply is fine.
Thanks for the answer! It´s possible to set limits on the device I had the possibility to use and at 12 Volts an 3 Ampere it was a bit too heavy? So this is not sure but it felt like.

Thanks for the video with all of the tips. Do you know if you can engrave any other metals than regular steel? For instance stainless, or brass maybe?
Thank you. Yes anything conductive should work. Just try it out on a test piece before, to be shure.

Hiya! What power supply model should I use for this? I seem to not be able to find one that looks similar to yours.

What settings did you use on the power supply unit?
12 volts and how many amps?
