DIY Electroplating ~ Best Part Shape and Orientation Guide
The nitty gritty of copper plating or any electroplating involves chemistry, physics, electricity and engineering experience. The best minds in the business have been working out the details for over a hundred years. The basics have been condensed for us non experts and here is a short presentation of some of that knowledge. The document I used for the majority of this information can be viewed here:

Copper electroplating has become quite a hobby of mine and I've spent countless hours researching the inns and outs of this science/craft/art. Hopefully you found this video to be helpful, certainly let me know in the comments if it did. Remember to subscribe and share with your friends as well, sharing is caring.
Part shape and orientation plays as big a role in successful electroplating as the chemistry in your plating bath. There is no amount of chemistry that can fix a poorly designed part or a part that is poorly hung in a plating bath. If you don't want to fail at copper plating then you need to put these tips into practice.

I've noticed that I've started to dominate many of the copper plating related searches on youtube which both indicates people have enjoyed my videos and that there aren't that many people making videos about copper plating. My hope is to expand the available knowledge about copper plating on youtube by providing more in depth knowledge and guidance instead of your typical how to copper plate a 1um thick layer of copper onto a nickel video that most people tend to make. You can help in this endeavor by subscribing and sharing.
