Electroplating 3D Prints ~ Copper Knuckle - Reinforced 3D Print

This reinforcement method greatly increases the strength of 3D Printed parts. So much that you could easily beat someone to death with this one finger knuckle with out worrying about damaging it. I say "beat someone to death" in jest but that doesn't mean it isn't true ;)

Get Conductive Paint to electroplate non-metal objects here:

By reinforcing printed parts it opens up a much larger world of possible projects since your strength limitations will be greatly diminished. I might have to print myself an AR-15 Lower Reciever next ;)

I had a lot of fun making this video, it was definitely the first time I have ever punched the living crap out of a watermelon. I hope you enjoyed it too, make sure if you did that you let me know in the comments.

If you want to see how my electroplating bath works that I used to copper plate this item then check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QXi4PM39ho
