Metal Detector Assembly with 10"/5" Coaxial Coil

thingiverse

This is a DIY Project for a Metal Detector. The diameter of the coils are 254mm (10") and 127mm (5"). When the coil is inserted, you can use silicone to secure it and protect against environmental effects like water. There's a hole for a coax connecting wire (i.e. RG58, RG59,..) on each coil gap. You'll need to print four parts of the coil (A to D) and four pieces of the swallowtail block. The coil parts will be connected with the swallowtails. The holes in the swallowtail are for applying silicone or glue during final assembly. To connect a stick, you have to print the CoilHolder and the AnkleJoint. You can design your own AnkleJoint if you're using another type of stick. The AnkleJoint is connected with a 40mm long M6 nylon screw. There are also parts for a quick release clamp. The stick is an electrical installation tube with an outer diameter of 25mm. To create a telescope, there are two pieces (Endpiece and Slider) available. The larger tube is also an installation tube but with an outer diameter of 32mm. Further parts for the battery holder and handheld will follow once testing is completed. Update: New Version of Coil_D Part features a channel for bucking coil cables. Update: More photos of the first design, Simple and Pro Handgrip, were added on August 27th. Update: The parts for the battery pack can be found here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2529149 Update: A clip was added to fix the telescoping part, plus a photo of that specific detail on October 26th.
