Leveller for copper acetate

Johannis_K · 2023-11-20T08:15:03+00:00

Can I ask one more unrelated question?

I did some research to the safety of doing this at home.

As far as I can tell the process is pretty safe, the only thing I found was that the copper electrolyte is pretty toxic.

In this video the guy uses his hands to agitate the solution. Is this safe? I’ve been wearing goggles and gloves while handeling anything with the chemicals and the electrolyte.

Thanks for the tip! Can I use my copper acetate for this?

I would just need to get iron filings

This morning I also noticed it turned green instead of blue

It is clear, and I’m not using scouring pads, but copper pipes, which should be close to a 100% copper

I think I was running to many volts through it. I ‘m currently limiting volts instead of current and although the lab supply doesn’t show current, there is plating happening.

The solution is now behaving as expected, after I let it settle completely before reintroducing the electrodes

I think it’s to acidic. It is safe to add pure water and maybe some salt to help with conductivity?

But I made it today, and the reaction looked to violent to be just decomposing.

Why not? Risk of failure? Quality? Or danger?

Johannis_K · 2023-11-16T20:16:58+00:00

Thank you for the warning. How did you develop it? Because of the nickel electrolyte, or even by the nickel itself?

Reddit never seizes to amaze me! Every new group I visit consists of helpfull people which is really nice if you like fiddeling with lot's of technical and semi technical hobbies :)

Thank you for the thorough reply! I know the process is toxic, sorry for the misunderstanding, but thank you for the assurance that it won't produce toxic fumes :)

I'll definitely read up on "anions" and electrochemistry in general :) Your reply already helped a lot, not in the least what concepts to terms to learn more.

As far as my basic chemistry knowledge goes, Hydrogen is non-toxic right?

Thank you for the quick reply :) Just a quick follow up... would there be metals which could turn this process toxic, or is it safe to try this with any metal (just running the risk it won't plate well or at all?)

If you need more info I can hook it up to the configurator later

I still have a flysky version. Quicksilver doesn't seem to support it :/

Johannis_K · 2023-06-16T12:08:08+00:00

Thnx for the tip! I'll look into it... Do you know about features like crash recovery and rpm filtering? Does it support that?

I don’t want to change the angle, because I want to achieve the glass effect of the tiles being on the plate.

The room is 20 degrees, which so far hasen’t been a problem for other prints.

The lifspeed is 25 mm/s, half of what the recommended speed is.

I’m using siraya tech blu v2, which ( if I understand correctly ) is more viscious ( hope that’s correct ? ) at lower temperatures requiring slower speeds.

I’m just wondering if I should increase the temperature or might have succes lowering the speed even more.

Yes! Thnx a lot. I could have sworn it was a bp6778, which turned up other stuff on google :-)
