Challanging journey of #Electroplating a 3D printed prop, like this iron man helmet. Watch as I navigate through the process of creating electroplated 3d prints, share tips, and highlight key considerations. The results are so convincing and unique that the effort can be worth it. #cosplay #3dprinting
