#42I'm holding out for 3d printed graphene.
get a lightscribe drive and some graphite oxide
I hypothesize that that technique will not work. Graphene molecules are flat, only 1 atom thick. So while they are strong in 2 dimensions, once you start stacking graphene vertically, it's just like a stack of paper. The layers won't be nearly as strongly bonded vertically as they would be along the plane of graphene. I think you would end up with a product the cleaves easily along the layers of graphene. I'm pretty sure you going to need a 3 dimensional arrangement of atoms.

I suspect it might if you doped the graphite oxide with something to muck up the sheets a little and allow vertical bonds, perhaps a bit of boron.
