Jim, what material are you printing with, PETG ??? I wouldn't use PLA, but ABS would last longer than PLA, but I think PETG might last the longest ??

Jim G's work inspired me to work on a 40/20 meter trap doublet/dipole/inverted vee with 3D printed trap coil forms and insulators. I have the traps coil forms done and the end/trap center insulators done and I really got lucky. A 20 meter trap should have 4.7 uH worth of inductance with a 27pF capacitor to resonate at 14.100 MHz and TOTALLY by accident, my initial print of the coil form wound with 16 turns of #20 wire just so happened to come out to just a bit over 4.7uH when I measured it.
