Video Description

Watch as we show you the process to create your own DIY electroplating/electroforming solution. This video is not intended to be an instructional video but an educational video, if you don’t have the proper training please do not attempt this. I will include the Amazon associates links for the products I used below.

However, to electroplate 3D prints, you need to make them conductive first. That’s where the graphite paint comes in. Graphite is a form of carbon that has high electrical conductivity, and can be mixed with India ink to create a paint that can adhere to resin or plastic prints. By applying a thin layer of graphite paint to your 3D prints, you can make them ready for electroplating. You can use different metals, such as copper, nickel, or silver, to achieve different results. Link to my Patreon.
