Filament conductive enough for electroplating?

Filament conductive enough for electroplating?

I've tried some generic conductive ABS, but it isn't conductive enough to electroplate. I'm looking for highly conductive, low resistance filament that can be electroplated without spraying with conductive paint or graphite.

This print was done with graphite, but the bond is weak between the print and the plating.

... there could be some MID material around - but didn't see in filament form, only as granules for inection moulding ...
