Tesla Coil - 1/4" Primary Coil Supports (with Strike Ring supports)
thingiverse
These are the Primary Coil supports currently on my Tesla coil. The design is for a quarter-inch copper refrigeration coil, with a pitch of 0.48 inches per turn. I rebuilt my primary coil twice; each time I just glued new supports on top of the old ones, resulting in this third and final design. This is not a true flat coil; it's conical, angled 1.5 degrees up from the floor plane. Before uploading it here, I added some options for you: 1. Zip tie holes 2. Three different heights of Strike Ring supports I didn't need zip-tie holes because my old supports below these ones provide the holes needed to run zip ties underneath. The Strike Ring Supports are dimensioned by 'distance to outermost turn' of the Primary coil, measured from their centers. Those distances are: 1.125 inches, 1.25 inches, and 1.4375 inches. All design-relevant dimensions are given in the Photos. Read the file names carefully to ensure you're downloading the correct one. If you want zip-tie holes, the filename must include "with zip-tie holes". If you're interested in seeing my coil running, check it out here: https://youtu.be/0jAYsmk9nxE?t=1m37s
