3d print coated with solid copper metal
myminifactory
The regular ABS print was coated with conductive copper paint and then had a substantial layer of copper electroplated over it using electroforming. The process is analogous to electroplating, but the metal coating is significantly thicker. The ultimate objective is to electroform a thick enough layer that the ABS print can be completely dissolved out leaving just the metal behind. This was my first attempt at electroforming and I'm pleased with the results, as it turned out to be worth showcasing anyway.
