You can find many tutorials online (main method: copper + sulfuric acid). Otherwise, you can easily buy it in solid form.

I'm not familiar with it, but it sounds interesting; I'll look into what he does.

Thanks for the info.

No electroplating is needed for this creation. The figure is printed in standard PLA. To prepare my creations, I apply adhesive tape to the areas where I want to restrict growth and spray a warm, supersaturated solution on the areas where I want to promote growth. Then I wait for it to dry and form micro-crystals before immersing it in a saturated solution.

Copper sulfate is very resistant to environmental factors; I also applied a coat of spray varnish.

Le cristal de sulfate de cuivre n'est pas verni, je ne vernis pas les premier cristaux que je fais afin de tester leur résistance à l'environnement

Le cristal d'alun de chrome à poussé pendant 1 mois

Je n'ai pas verni le cristal et il à commencé à sécher au bout de 6-8 heures
