This is a great alternative to strong acid copper plating with harsh chemicals like sulphuric acid and hydrochloric acid. This electrolyte is almost safe enough to drink due to every ingredient being safe to consume with the exception of the copper sulphate.
This setup will provide good plating results for thick plating instead of the very thin plating most other guides on youtube offer. Electroplating doesn't have to be hard, I intentionally provide exact instructions so that anyone can replicate this. Be sure to share this around the interwebs so that others can benefit from it as well.
If you want to see how to make a copper plating electrolyte with a strong acid you can watch my other tutorial here:

This copper plating recipe is derived from the think and tinker site recipe available here:

Here is a great resource to use when troubleshooting a copper plating bath that isn't plating well:

I got into copper plating with the intent to plate 3D printed parts and since then I have learned a mountain's worth of information. I've tried to simplify it as much as possible and condense the chemistry into relatively short videos so that anyone unfamiliar with the science can get successful results.
