My favourite cranks ever are Rotor 3D but Rotor 3D+ have started appearing second hand locally going for silly cheap. I bought a set a couple of weeks ago with the intention of stripping and re-anodising them.
So yesterday I decided to get that going.
There's loads of fine videos out there. I ended up using this one as a guide: https://youtu.be/L2RKze7baJw?si=J0pfvK6dgXlt1d3M
I used his recipes for solution ratios but used ChatGpt to calculate mixing ratios specific for my chemicals and for calculation of time/amperage using the 720 rule. It worked out great.
Next time I will probably not only de-anodise but also sand the cranks to get rid of the ugly laser engraving. IRL it doesn't look so bad but it's pretty clear that there's still some graphics left...
