Assemble the Electroforming System

What happens here

Set up the electroforming station. This typically consists of a power supply (specifically, a direct current rectifier that allows control over voltage and amperage), an electrolyte solution (copper sulfate bath), a positive anode (copper bar or wire), and a negative cathode (the prepared jewelry pieces). Hang the prepared, conductive-painted objects from copper wires into the electrolyte solution. Connect these wires to the negative terminal (cathode) of the power supply. Connect a copper bar or wire to the positive terminal (anode) and also submerge it in the solution. Adjust the power supply to the desired voltage (e.g., 0.5 volts) and amperage (e.g., 0.55 amps) for optimal copper deposition.

Goal: Prepare the electroforming bath and connect the electrical components.
