Both my phone and pc's duckduckgo refuses to work. URLs are fine, but searching through duckduckgo? Nope. Nothing. Google works, duckduckgo doesn't. It's very strange to me, I can't see any outages or anything. Does anyone know whats going on?
The title is a little vague but I don't know what else to say.
I've 3d printed the blade of a Master sword from The Legend of Zelda, and my plan is to smooth it out, sand it, and paint it with graphite paint. That's not what I need help with.
See, after I paint it with graphite paint, I'm going to electroplate it with either Zinc or Nickel. The issue is that the blade is about a meter long, and I'm not sure how to execute this.
This image is the only method I can think of. The blade is suspended over a PVC pipe with my electrolyte inside with a strip of metal along the side. To me, this seems like a really good idea, BUT! Since the pipe is a meter long I can't mix it. So, I mix the electrolyte in a separate beaker then pour it into the pipe (the pipe will be sealed on the other end, incase that wasn't obvious). Now the issues begin. Due to gravity, won't the electrolyte become more concentrated at the bottom and less at the top, leading to very inconsistent plating across the item? I'm stumped. I can't decide whether or not "Yes, there will be inconsistent plating, and this is a shitty idea." or "No, the item won't be in the pipe for long enough for it to matter." Can someone help, please? Any insight is very appreciated. Thanks!
Model of sword is by giedzinski, if anyone cares. Check it out here, it's very cool. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5828243
Title says it all really, i'm looking to buy an accordion, and wondering what kind of stuff to look out for. I'd like a piano accordion, and atleast 72 bass. Just wondering if i should buy a specific kind, because i see used prices vary alot, and i don't really understand why.
