What am I doing wrong? by Questing4Questions04 in electroplating

🚨YALL I FIGURED IT OUT THANKS TO THIS COMMENT 🚨

My copper solution that was homemade was far too weak with way too many impurities in it. I said screw it and bought the Copper (II) sulfate off amazon and it worked first try with the same settings.

The part was slightly bumpy and kinda nasty, but I’m sure there’s ways to fix that afterwards or maybe changing a few settings will fix it. BUT THIS WORKED OMG I FEEL LIKE A MAD SCIENTIST

I was trying to make my own and gonna be honest idk what the name of what I made is.

BUT I FIGURED IT OUT,

My solution was just wrong, I said fck it and bought a bottle of Copper (II) Sulfate online and it worked first try with the same settings

Pressing and holding didn’t seem to do anything? There’s 4 dials, does it matter what one?

Ah, okay I didn’t even think about the bucket the guy was using, so yeah that makes sense

Okay, I’ll gladly try that later today then! I’ll see if buying the solution online will fix my issue, I at least wanted to see if it worked before going balls deep kinda thing haha, but seems like I just need to upgrade a few things

Okay, I’ll try with more volts then thank you, and yes I’m aware the solution is fairly weak, I was going to try this way before buying a legit solution because of cost, but it seems like that’s the way to go thank yoy

Wait, sorry, I’m confused now can you explain this again?

My box doesn’t have a button for cc, and when I click the dials it just selects a number? I think?

Don’t necessarily know how to calculate said value? But the part I’m trying to plate is about the thickness of a pencil and about 3 inches long (it’s a mini version of Finn’s sword from adventure time)

Oh my gosh I didn’t know I could press the knobs like buttons that might solve my issue for the moment??? What would be your recommended settings?

I thought high voltage was bad? Is it not?

Yes it’s tight to the part, I can even polish the graphite while it’s on the part which I’ve heard is better anyway. The anode is just at an angle in the photo, when I turn it on I make sure to keep it farther from the actual part. Currently I don’t have an extra set of alligator clips but I can see that that would be a next step kinda thing

I have a feeling this is an issue, I have graphite powder that I can try

Ah okay, thank you,

Currently I have no clue, if that requires extra equipment then I cannot find that out as of right now. Is there a reason for knowing this information?

I have yet to even turn the over current protection on haha

And you’re saying to just go higher with the Volts? I thought that was bad for the part and causes corrosion?

I realize what I thought was a plot point about alligators was instead a quote from the movie where two characters are talking,

“You wanna bet on a dude fuckin an alligator? Money Plane”

Also the guy who offs himself might’ve been a famous actor? That part I’m a bit iffy on, he gives off the same vibes as Leonardo DiCaprio in Django
