...and this part of my journey is complete. Thank you @TommyDee & @badbee for the help on Reddit, would not have been possible without all of you really 😁😁

Decided to call this build Artemis, she did kill Orion after all 😉 Probably will have this one done before my 2nd build as I am only waiting on a 15mm dowel to arrive to wrap the coil.

Still not able to finish my first attempt at a HalfPint build, I've been extremely fussy & wanted a particular case in green. Living in the UK & the only place who sold my case is a place in Scotland which is closed due to covid restrictions. So having to wait for one to arrive from Germany. In...

HalfPint lives!! Johnny 5 is alive Now please tell me that it will work fine if the LED comes on 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Then I have some soldering to do later & pray it still works. Only way I can currently test that & it may not work is a 9v battery pack 🤔 just want to test it's still alive not a cap.

Ahh shoot, did the work coil at 30" & that'll be why the ends of my coil are fairly short. Guess I'd better wrap another one 🤦🏻‍♂️ Also, thank you! Was hoping the jig would be useful.

Didn't mean to post it twice... Can't see a delete so edited to this instead.

Deleted.

Awesome, thanks for the reply TD happy to hear I'm making sense of this. My fresh 18awg wire arrived this morning so had a bash at wrapping the inductor as per what I've read on page 3. First attempt here but I cut each wire at 33" & have wrapped 16 times on each side (some movement so they're...

Right so I've spent the last few days reading your posts @TommyDee & I think I've scrapped enough up into layman terms to attempt your fantastic modification. I do have some questions though that I couldn't work out. Please bare with me whilst I try to understand. So the trace cut is what allows...

Hi FC, so I've been planning to build a compact IH for my DV & was looking at a LiPo battery, specifically THIS ONE. I have asked similar questions on Reddit in batteries & ask electronics but have got an answer, seeing as the PSM was born in FC which uses a LiPo I'm hoping someone can help...

Thanks for the advice TD! Happy accident I attempted to solder the work coil to the ZVS first, I am somewhat of a sponge so any advice is appreciated 😁 Have ordered a pair of ZVS modules to practice on along with a solder pump to aid getting bits off so will see how that goes & if I can condense...

Thanks @TommyDee, I guess it's something I will need to practice. My soldering isn't great, but definitely found my first build easier after discovering flux (see first battery cradle & the coil on ZVS 😬). I think some hobby practice sheets are in order. I was planning on just buying ZVS modules...

Hi, Reddit transplant here via TDTG posts on r/inductionheaters. Really want to build my second IH to replace my Orion & really loved the look of the Half Pint module but wasn't aware what actually has to be done & might be too much too soon for me. Is the initial part required for the HP or are...
