About this model
A customizable form for coils of coaxial cable for HAM radio for creating an "RF air choke". Configurable mean coil diameter, loop count, coax wire diameter, and optional center cutout diameter. An air choke can of course be created by wrapping coax around a regular cylinder such as PVC, but flat spots may develop where the coax is pressed against the PVC and ties. This design, with a race for the coils in both the center form and retainer sections, should result in less deflection, over an extended time period, of the insulation layer inside the coax cable. Additionally, it allows the mean coil diameter to be configured to any size that fits on your 3D printer, versus being limited to available sizes of PVC/etc tubing. Note that the retainer pieces are meant to be attached with nylon wire…
