[Fab] Experimenting with copper electroplating 3D printed parts

[Henner Zeller]

Hi,
Yesterday, I did my first experiment to electroplate a 3D printed
part. It might be an interesting way to improve structural strength of
a print, make it conductive (copper) or magnetic (nickel) or simply to
make it look like shiny metal.

Still a lot to experiment, but the first result indicates that it
could work. In particular I am pleased with the adherence of the metal
layer so far.
