There is a problem with answering your question in that at such a low temperature the resistivity of copper is very much determined by the impurities and crystallographic defects eg dislocations, voids etc, which may be present.
At low temperatures it is the scattering of free electrons by impurities and crystallographic defects high determine the resistivity rather than the thermal excitation of the copper ions.
The parameter which is often measured is the residual resistance ratio $dfracR_text273 KR_4.2,rm K$ which for fairly pure copper wire as used for telephone lines might be of the order of $100$.
Large single crystals of very pure copper can be produced with residual resistance ratios in the thousands.
.
Update as answers to some of @AJK’s questions.
Annotated graph to illustrate the non-linear logarithmic scale and the resistivity of copper at $3, rm K$.

so it's impossible to use copper at any temperature around 3k as a conductor

@AJK That is not what I wrote. From the graph you can get an estimate of the resistivity of “ordinary” copper at around $3,rm K$. At this temperature the copper is a much better conductor of electricity than at room temperature.
