Experimenting with (recycled) Conductive Plastic for Electroforming

In my quest to create a versatile material for crafting jewelry through electroforming, I stumbled upon an interesting combination: polystyrene and graphite. This blend, achieved by dissolving polystyrene in acetone and adding graphite powder, has taken me on a journey of discovery, with surprising results. My exploration evolves around understanding and utilizing this material. I've experimented with different ratios and methods to figure out how it affects the material's texture, conductivity, and suitability for electroforming. Additionally, I've looked into its behavior when exposed to heat, considering the possibility of using it with 3D printers.
