ABS material with butadiene as part of the material.

1) Does somebody know if one of the Shpeways' material contains butadiene
2) Does somebody own experiences with chroming of Shapeways' printed items.

have you found any answers ?

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.

ill keep you posted on my research.

also where do you chrome ? in which country ?

kindest regards

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.
