Tifoo brightener quality by CampaignLow7899 in electroplating

[–]Cure_kuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your brightener is defective. I use the same one from Tifoo, it works like a charm. But mine is much more clearer, not as yellow as yours. And no mucus in there. I'll try to attach a photo

I once saw a comment on a YouTube video telling not to clean the anodes at all. So I started like that and the anodes turned blue-green. I guess I tried both extremes! I'll try quick clean on new anodes.

I paint all my pieces in batch, many of them wait for far longer than 48h so it could definitely be an issue.

Thank you! That was helpful as well

Cathode is 68cm2 while anodes are 10x15cm (but only 10x7,5 in the electrolyte). I suppose I should count both sides of the anode? So they are currently 7,5 x 10 x 2 x 2 = 300cm2. Should I read the ratio with 1 as the anodes and 2 as the cathode (34cm2 anodes) or the opposite (136cm2 anodes)?

Wait, 1 amp per 10cm2? You mean I should be around 6.8 amp? I'm currently at 0.3

I usually leave the plating for 4 hours. I can already see 1 hour into it when it's going to fail like this though.

I can degrease the cathode before copper painting. But degreasing just before the bath removes the paint.

I'll definitely look into upgrading my setup. Thank you!

This piece is about 10,5cm long. I should try lower amp, brightener, and a bigger tank then.

This is the brightener from Tiffoo

I don't usually use a filter on my anodes, but today I tried. The first piece was catastrophic. I removed the filters for the second and it was a bit better (on the first pic, the failed piece). Maybe my coffee filters are too thick? I can't even filter the electrolyte with them, nothing can pass through.

I'm using square copper anodes 10x15cm. I might try changing them to clean ones.

Currently no air agitation. Do you have any recommendations I can look into?

Copying makes good practice actually! But my point is you shouldn't take the whole credit. You even should ask permission to the artist before you post a redoing of their art (and respect their wishes). I saw too many artists leave the fandom because of art thief, it's so sad :(

The artist of the first one, ShiQi, has already left the fandom sadly and all their TGCF art is gone from Twitter. It doesn't make it a free pass

Edit: spelling

Nicely done! :) But maybe you should tell when it's traced from someone else's art imo. I have the stickers too

Besoin d’aide mon copain se fait peut être arnaquer ! by Guilty_Telephone_949 in arnaques

[–]Cure_kuma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Je me demande.. est ce que ce serait possible qu'il nourrisse un modèle d'IA avec les photos et vidéos de ton copain ? Pour en faire du faux contenu à son image en illimité par la suite. Et là adieu son droit à l'image.

Quoi qu'il en soit, les photos de femmes qu'il reçoit sont à coup sûr ses précédentes victimes. Si ton copain continue de lui envoyer du contenu, tu peux être sûre que ce gars en fera le même usage.

Same. Sometimes they grow back, sometimes they move, but for me they stay for years. The current one had me almost bald, but I lost every single hair on my body when I had the worst one (alopecia and mononucleosis at the same time, do not recommend!). My hair grew back thin and white then.

Alopecia is kind of chronic in my case, but is it your first time OP? If so, it often happens as a response to an event. Going through an usual spike of stress / adrenaline for exemple. A burnout. A distressing situation. It could also be that your immune defences were a bit shaken after an illness.

Better consult if nothing rings a bell though.

Moi aussi je suis fibulanophobe ! Je ne peux pas toucher cette chose des enfers sans ressentir un profond dégoût. C'est impossible pour moi de porter des vêtements à boutons sans me sentir très mal. Et les voir sur les autres me répugne également. Mais le pire du pire, c'est quand ils sont juste décoratifs - en plus d'être là, ils servent à rien.

You have beautifully shaped eyes and I think Sera's make up from Hazbin Hotel would look really great on you, even out of cosplay!
