  • An overview of a coil form I made recently with my 3D printer, pushing the limits of the size of things I can print with the monoprice 3D printer. 4:06: Error, it was printed in PLA, not ABS.
    Source code for the coil form can be found at ae7eu.com/ind_s...

    how does the plastic printed former stand up to 100 watts rf in heat ? at 200 watt i can already see some melting , any luck ?

    This is incredible. From your description, it sounds like we have the same 3D printer. I’ve not tried ABS on mine though. I got here searching for an 80M loaded vertical. I’m looking to build an 80M vertical that can fit on my 31’ Jackite pole. I was going to opt for a smaller diameter but a bit longer to allow it to fit over the pole without sticking out too much.

      It was done in PLA for me. No reason you couldn't do it in ABS too though, if you have a printer that can do it well. I would not personally do ABS on the Monoprice printer, it'll probably warp to all high crap.

      i guess I am kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good site to stream newly released tv shows online ?

    Great video, how hard would it be to make center and end pieces so you could make it as long as you wanted? (center section having the half-moon interlocks both top and bottom and top and bottom sections having them only on one end)

    • @MartinDoesStupidThings

      Shouldn't be hard at all, you could easily replicate the locks to stack them forever. Probably copy/paste the code and just make sure it lines up right.

    Ha. When I first saw your call I thought " Hey! he stole my call sign!" AE7UV :-) I just finished printing an enclosure for a current balun on my Monoprice printer. Still need to put it together. Have you tried HTPLA filament? Prints like PLA but you can "temper" it and it won't sag on hot days like PLA will.

      I haven't tried other filaments on my printers, I've been viewing my 3d printers more as tools rather than as projects... I have enough projects as it is without spending time dorking on filaments...

    Dear bro,
    What is the gauge of the insulated copper wire...??

    • @MartinDoesStupidThings
      @MartinDoesStupidThings  5 лет назад

      It's not insulated, it's 18ga copperclad. But no reason you couldn't adjust the print to create a wider groove (or just use insulated wire).

    May we have an .stl or object file of that? I tried one in TinkerCAD but it didn't work out :)

      Whoops, sorry, I don't check notifications often. Redoing my webpage, but here it is: ae7eu.com/ind_support.scad You'll need to use openScad.

    I do not have a 3D printer, but have access to a woodshop. N0QFT

      Many public libraries these days have 3D printers. Worth a shot to try there.
