## Needed material
* Printed model (2 disks and 2 plates)
* Printed case (optional)
* 5 cm wide copper tape
* M10 threaded nylon shaft - or use other model and print them
* Knobs (optional)
* 4 pcs small self threading screws
* Tools:

* Small drill
* Screwdriver
## INSTRUCTION
(please contact me if instruction is unclear so I can improve)
Add copper tape to inner, outer and middle hexagon. Thread 2 disks, inner and outer hexagon.
Mount disk to threaded shaft end let 6 cm shaft stick out on hexagon side so hexagon can reach top position. Secure each shaft with disk and 2 self-threading screws.
Solder wires, add some foil to solder wire away from hexagons, Be careful and work fast to not melt 3D model:
* RFin
* Ground: to middle hexagon,
* Signal: to upper hexagon
* Loop antenna
* L1: Outer hexagon
* L2: Middle Hexagon
Tested only with 10W but it should be able to handle more, ensure that distance between foils are > 1mm and cut away excess to avoid short circuit
Warning❗
Keep away when in operation, use the protective cover, because when in resonance the voltage can be several 1000 volts and burn your fingers.
