Let me show you how to create super shiny + gloss 3D Prints with my DIY Graphite Paint and by #electroplating. #3dprinting and metal plating combined will create convincing objects for your prop collection or the next comic con. #tutorial

This is the stuff I used for electroforming/electroplating in this video.
Chemicals for the prints:
Copper Anode: https://amzn.to/42XdwZS *
Bright Copper Electrolyte: https://amzn.to/3zk2S1F *
Gold Electrolyte https://amzn.to/44NNwRp *
Palladium Electrolyte https://amzn.to/3DDr8hD *

Optional:
Conductive Copper Paint https://amzn.to/47cpbpR *
Galvanic Degreaser https://amzn.to/3rV4v5r *

These binders were used BUT others will probably work as well:
