Question Copper Electroplating & Power Supply

Hi,

Is there any way to use a power supply for copper electroplating? We were gonna order a potentiostat but they're expensive. I need to increase the thickness of 1 micron of copper to tens of microns or more by electroplating. What changes should I make to the power supply if I can use one?

Thanks.

On the power supply
yes you do use one for copper plating but the size is not as important as how long you will leave
the piece in the tank depending on the typ of copper you are using I will not assume so this is what I will say if you are using acid copper it will build up much faster
