**I have not received any of the products shown free of charge, nor do I have any relationship with the manufacturer.*

For this you need:
* A 3D print. Doesn't matter what material.
* DC power supply. 5A is ok.

For the galvanic bath:
* a container
* copper electrolyte (sour)
* one or two copper anodes
* banana plug & alligator clips

For the galvanic brush:
* Palladium electrolyte
* (24K) Gold electrolyte
* Galvanic brush
* 2 graphite rod anodes
* 2 nonwoven sleeves

You also need:
* Degreaser
* Distilled water
* Conductive Copper Spray. Make sure that it can be used with your copper electrolyte.

Have fun. Try it. 🧡
