28g frame, 0.4mm ribbon, 38g wrap. I really need higher gauges.
My swvl and 0.3mm should arrive today! Hopefully the 30g gets here too so I have some frames.


Not quite but if you look at my half stagger you get a good idea. The authentic's are bigger looking.

You're getting good at staggering now. Which is one of the most tedious parts about building. Try to make some clean skip staggers with 2 frames and normal ssfc's. It pays off once you get good at them

That's what I want to do next. This was my first one using 38g and hitting both sides.
I'm just waiting on the damn 30g....still can't clapton 0.3mm though. Lol.
If I'm honest staggering wasn't hard at all. It was keeping the frames and ribbon together and perfect spaced clapton that was hard.

Yeah half staggering isn't hard, you just line everything up and make sure the wraps are perpendicular to the core wire and spin the drill. Staggering gets hard however when you incorporate skip staggers and full frame SSFC's that don't want to cooperate with you. Try using some 28g with .3r. And also definitely give mind_forge's YouTube staggerton tutorial a watch. He is such a perfectionist lol.

The last ssfc I posted....I dropped the frames in the floor. The whole thing was wrapped with gobs of tension so it would arc and line up. Lol.

I tried 28g frames. Raymo agreed, they're too tall. The ribbon folded inside it's 38g case.
I actually planed on watching that video. I saw his post on IG. People loved it and his builds are good so when I find wifi I have a few I plan to watch.

Side note, I've had a 45 dollar prepaid thing for so long they're bumping my data again! Started with 2, next it's 4! Woot!
Staggerton looks crazy btw.
I'm ordering 40g once money owed comes to me....with my 30g.

Finally!
I learned a ton making this one. It's my new favorite stagger and the next one should be much better.


That is clean AF! You got staggering down very quickly. Keep at it brotha, try skip stagger patterns & ribbon packs as frames, etc. just different things to mix it up.
I finally got crimping gears! Stoked, my buddy gave them to me yesterday, however I'm still mass producing coils right meow so I'll have to wait a few to start corrugating.

I forgot to post my series here. My bad.

1-3, 10 ply 0.3 dressed in 36g.


2-3, 12 ply, 36g


Working on the 3-3 now. It's really hard to tell but I've sanded the wraps. I'm trying to replicate the wrap Slippy did a while ago. I stop sanding too soon for fear of bending it.
