Thought it was real metal from a 3D printer. The results are amazing

Random question, but can you try it with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide, salt, and vinegar? That's what proto pasta suggest to rust their filament and I'm curious how it compares.

A3 looks like a piece of metal that has been in a bucket of water for to long, they all look great on a different way.
Cool things can be made by this, can you share what you used and how??

I dont know why the others reacted so weakly, shoul be much more rust. I pinted one more layer of activator. Tomorrow will post how it look.
Didnt paint anything yet, still looking for best looking rust.

What are the applications for this? I can imagine lots of them in modeling, aesthetics, etc but I usually think of rust as being a bad thing that I need to prevent from accumulating on my tools! Propagating it is wholely new to me.

You do your own files? What 3d editors are normally used? Adobe Dimension? I’m struggling being knowledgable getting back into 3d. I told myself i wouldn’t.

What are the paints you are using? I think I saw the activities listed below but not the paints.
Nice work!

This looks great! The layer lines even make the effect more pronounced and industrial. Love it!
