You can also finish your prints with metallic sprays, for example Montana Gold has a nice series including chrome, goldchrome and copperchrome.

or you can get some reprapper tech with copper - just looks like copper wire - no finishing needed.

I do like the rough ceramic finish you get with copperfill and bronzefill before sanding. Great for stuff that needs to look like primitive ceramics.
