Monday was a bit more busy then expected First year at the uni also sucks up time rather fast. So I didn't get the copper busbar done. But I did take a pic of how things look now. Think you can allready guess how the busbar will look from the picture.
Don't know when I'll have time to get working on the copper again. Lots of stuff to do and some problems at home that need my attention.

Generous fillets applied to all, otherwise protruding, corners, are the trademark of a CNC machined product. But I don't have that, so my fillets are applied, retrospectively, the good *old school* way. This is how it is done:
A suitably radiussed backup slug, the descent of the file is effectively controlled.
I want safety, but I don't want to be soldering all night. When looking at soldering 200 bleeder resistors, a down and dirty solder jig is mandatory. Shut up, get done with it, and solder!
2 x 10M for a 30sec time constant, going easy on the Q
And finally some CAD porn: Huwow, a lot of hours must have gone into that!
I am about ready to apply Conducto Lube to the mating surfaces of the sliding Pulsed Kiloamp connections, and am modestly proposing first light this first coming Sunday.

You'll probably want to keep changing toploads on it so you can keep tuning it. :)
Actually, I doubt the topload is going to be changed, unless I can muster enough gumption to make a larger one.
The reason that I made the cap configurable is, that I want to be able to search for a possible sweet spot, where the L/C ratio is different. Like, better sparklength/pri_current ratio
Wow, now so close to the moment where i watch the scope, while sweeping past the sweet spot, recording it for you all to see.

Nice work Finn,
I can`t wait until Sunday, where we will see if all of this hard work works as we planned:-) Yesterday I soldered the last PCB for the motor controller, so this afternoon I will write the last code for it...
