Parts List:

Wire
2x Male Spade Connector
2x Female Spade Connector
2x Carabiner
Magnet Wire
Capacitor

Construction Instructions:

  • Wind your inductor tightly around the 1 inch form (Center piece), aim for slightly more than the correct number of turns. You will fine-tune it by compressing and stretching the coil
  • Wire your capacitor(s) in parallel to the inductor, attach them to the arm placed away from the inductor
  • Print the Trap structure in any way except vertically, as it will experience severe tensile force when in place. The Z-axis is the weakest axis on typical 3d prints
