Alchemy - electroforming on plastic, but really it's alchemy ;-)

I'd think you'd need a binder in there, as well as the solvent and graphite. I'd be reluctant to use acetone on my printed objects, though - it tends to degrade most plastics.

yeah but you would never do anything. with anything, at any point, ever. Do you by any chance work for a government health and safety department ?
Acetone, evaporated from pla in a couple of minutes, has no effect on the print, which is going to be covered in copper anyway - so what difference would it make ?
hell the acetone graphite paint is mostly used on abs, upon which the only effect is to stick the graphite to the abs.
