This is my setup and it works well for me, but this is not saying its the only one, you might use this as a basic guide line

Thank You! Are you using NiChrome wire as well? Tony is using 22gauge 0.025", I check my bow and it's the same currently. Just ordered some... it's about $8 for 100ft.
Do you have a part number on your variac that I can use to look for one? I like that you have adjust the transformer output.

I am using Nichrome wire, I will check tomorow on its diameter, as for the Variac, don't even look for one like mine way too old but I do like this on on Amazon https://www.amazon.ca/YaeCCC-Transf...jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==

I use plain carbon steel wire, not nichrome. NiChrome has higher resistance and requires higher voltage.

a lot of work here to fit an old laser canopy , maybe I should have made a new one in retrospect, also the 3D printed wheels and tires fitted with a metal insert, and collar made on the lathe, set screw too long need to get shorter ones

Like the wheels, but did you print the tiers as well.
