Apologies for the less than stellar lighting. This was my biggest print so far, just under 18"x 18"! I’m really happy with the details, but printing something this big was definitely a learning experience for me. It took 3 attempts to get this image out, but I learned a lot about tubing management and maintaining chemistry I can think about while I sand down my previous botched attempts :D
So I’m going to just say it’s an electrochemical anodization process for now. The detail comes from a new process I’ve been developing over the last month or so that I’m going to be filing a patent on soon. I’ll be happy to share with you all once I’ve done so, but I the idea of Elon Musk maybe seeing one of these posts and using my process to make a fleet of printed titanium cyber trucks using my process would make me sad.
Cool! You answered my question above, just wasn’t sure what exactly we were looking at in terms of media :) good luck with the patent process!
