Description
Primary and secondary printed in vase mode (Spiralize Outer Contour).
I printed these with 0.15mm layer height because I used 0.15mm wire for winding.
The wire is wound in the same direction as the secondary was printed.
To put the printed parts together you need a M5 screw, a nut and four washers, to squish the wires between for a good connection.

I'm using a hard drive platter as a top load.
The base of the tesla coil is an old Intel box cooler with mounting holes 70mm apart and 100mm diagonally, acting as GND.
I drilled four holes in it and tapped them, two for mounting the mosfets and two for connecting wires to the heatsink with two washers and a screw.
The mosfets must be isolated from the heatsink. For that purpose I used mica pads and thermal paste.
Additionally I covered the inside of the case with aluminum tape to protect the electronics from interference.
