been trying out with scientific vacum plating on some shapeways materials, but they all failed. so now im back on chroming, bath plating, or what ever its called in english.
Currently I only have a request open to a guy who chromes original Lego parts.
But he states that for that some ABS material is needed (with butadiene).
So far I see no material from Shapeways having that. I had some prints with ABS but the granularity and smoothness was far aways from the needed results.
