Does it look like a coil ?? Need some late night advice.

Dunno of this helps or makes matters worse but here's straight leads with a slanted coil for your perusal BaDaBooM

BaDaBooM - Your design in the OP is brilliant. IMO don't faff about with it, it's just perfect.

Thicker gauge and inverted (it's a quiet night )

By Jove I think he's done it! Now make it light up Audiopsyence [emoji6]

I do also like your original design BaDaBooM either of this ilk would look great!

I like it but it feels like I'm copying because I didn't think of it myself.

You did think of it, look ->

It's pretty much identical

I can understand that. I wouldnt suggest you copy, yours is so minimal it's great. Nice to be able to take away these ideas though and refine..anyway, I think these were based on your idea [emoji106]

Apologies for the poor photoshopping but couldn't resist a go.

BTW your original design was bloody brilliant, coil/space invader looks ace!!

Did a quick test, legs are to long and it would look better with tighter spacing. Need a sharper end mill too.

Looks good, I agree that it needs tighter spacing. Love the idea of a backlight.
