Hello!

Setting up electroforming rig, and got the following results:

I followed this recipe for my solution, but i doubled it to make 2000ml of solution:

200g copper sulfate pentahydrate .05ml hydrochloric acid 40ml sulfuric acid 1000ml distilled water

I 3D printed a .5 inch cube, and used the surface area calculator here: https://www.calculator.net/surface-area-calculator.html#cube

I have a full DC powersource, and followed the formula surface area x .1 = amps. So I set it to .15

I also followed a suggested formula based on the guage of my wire anode, that was surface area/.33 x2 for the length of copper wire, and got 9.09 inches. I used 10 inches so I had an inch out of the solution.

I have my solution set up in a large glass beaker, on a heated stirring plate, and warmed the solution and kept mild agitation going.

The result pictured is over 12 hours electroforming at consistent .15 amps.

Comments?

Edit: wrong unit of measurement on the copper sulfate pentahydrate
