Also, are you able to make a simple script program that has an in interface for such a G code generator?
Probably. Let me "check assumptions" on my end. Inputs to such a generator for "cylindrical" coil wraps would need to be:
- Core diameter (what the wire would be wrapped around, even if removed post wrapping).
- Core "length" or "height". In other words, first wrap at z=0 and last wrap at Z=this parameter.
- Wire diameter
- Number of layers
- Packing - even or offset (see below)
- Fudge factor for packing density. Could be called "tightness".
What else?
Even Packing:
OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO
Offset Packing(would really be half spaced, characters will not show that properly)
OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO OOO
And, is there a need for "non cylindrical" winds? Donut/Torus or similar? Those are probably beyond a simple script. Examples:
OO OO OOO OOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOOOO OOOOOO OOOOO OOOOO OOOO OOOO OO OO
OO OO OOO OOO OOOO OOOO OOO OOO OOOO OOOO OOO OOO OO OO
I will sendyou a PM and descuss this further!!
Thanks

47.5 AWG wire. about 1000 turns, 4.186 Kohms. That's a lot of resistance!
Its funny you cant even see the wire going in to the tool...
not to bad. got a bit of a slip there in the center.... more to tune still. also the roller play's a roll. Get it... ha,
on i'm slap happy...God Bless,

Nice! Anyone have any ideas of applications for flat coils? Wireless charging perhaps?
-
...yes, wireless charging coils. See https://uk.farnell.com/w/c/passive-components/inductors/charging-coils/prl/results?st=wireless+charging+coils.

Off the top of my head, besides wireless charging: VLF radio. Magnetic radio for underground (cave, tunnel, etc) to surface communication. With larger gauge and some spacing, bed heat for a delta or polar, or induction heating. Metal detector coil.

Hi @Russ-Gries ,
Fantastic topic.
So, you use Duet3d wifi with RepRapFirmware correct ?
What is your gcode generator /slicer ?
You create a script to run your gcode and change the values ? Do you have more information about your post processor ?
Thanks

Hello,
Just about everything is documented on this playlist. :

If you want to know why i built it. Its to build this:
And test some theories...

Yes, I follow you on YouTube
so, in this video you use Fusion 360, after that you use Simplify3D correct ? But you create a script to adjust the xyz to xyzU correct (U/A the angle of extruder 1), do you have some documentation ? or a start point for me (forum/ paper etc.. ?) I need to do the same for a concrete 3D printer.
I know that it is possible to do it automatically with Mach3 but I would like to try to do it myself.
At this moment I use Autodesk Inventor + PrinterRun (www.pronterface.com/) , it's possible to create scripts / macros with python to create the "final GCode".
My idea is change the rapms 1.4 (3d printer mainboard) by Duet3D and adjust this code to create the "tangential control" .
How do you adapt the Duet3D to create a U axis ? (the new "Extruder" axis ) ?
Thanks.
