3D printing coil jigs

[RichJB]

Hello all

I've been hearing recently about guys who are making their own Clapton jigs using 3D printers. Upon further searching I found this page which seems to contain 3D files for a number of jigs, some of which require a drill and others which operate manually. Some of them look pretty cool. Has anybody printed anything like this?

Haven't printed one yet, but this is a good motivation to look I to it .

I have a set of Kuro coil jigs and have been threatening to print a jig for spaced coils but haven't gotten round to it. Have to design it first. I'll put this on the list of things to try. Lucky enough to have a small fleet of printers at work. When I have time to print one I'll report back.

Have a look at this one, its motorized. With a bit of modification you can make a nice big one for long strands.

I would do this one TBH I have tried a few of them including the one that is motorised is a ballache.

It seems to be simple and you literally just need a drill so that is a winner
