DIY Induction Heater Builds and References

Thank you both very much for the fast replies. I've read this thread many times and some things are still confusing when working with the induction fields.

I have a spare coil but I think I'll get more wire and play around with configuration. If the coils don't heat each other, I'd like to wind them all within a 10mm length to concentrate the power. Noted that I need to start with 33" long of 12 AWG Copper Magnet Wire.

Wouldn't the field be heating that button next to it, too?! Is all this sapping heat from the fusion head and causing issues? I wish I could just make a tiny faraday cage for the induction coil.

I'm going to solder a new coil down now that I've learned some things. I'll get it coming off the other side of the board so I don't pass by the chokes. An ABS enclosure is on the way, even though I'm very sad to part with the cool alum enclosure.
