In this video, I will demonstrate how to make airbrush compatible graphite paint out of graphite powder and India ink, how to apply it to your 3D prints using an airbrush, and how to electroplate your 3D prints with real metal. You will be amazed by the transformation of your 3D prints from dull and plastic to shiny and metallic.

Electroplating is a process that coats the surface of an object with a thin layer of metal, giving it a shiny and durable finish. 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.

  • I have been researching this stuff for about 18 months now but my priorities have shifted direction, meaning I won't actually get to put all that effort into practical usage.
