3D Prints - How to make them look antique/old

3D Prints can be post processed, so that the look used and aged.
This is about patinating metal filament 3D prints, as well as plated 3D prints and painted with metal lacquer.
Here I would like to show you how easy it is to #patinate your #3dprints. There was some experimentation involved in this.
**I have not received any of the products shown free of charge, nor do I have any relationship with the manufacturer.*
