that is what I mean
the cotter pin resting on the point of one of the chuck teeth, and the wire coming out of the loop on the opposite side (towards where the other two chuck teeth meet)
Some Wire Shots:
Super Wide Build for the Golem RDA. 17plys of Ribbon and 2 28g Frames with 42g Stagger and Fuse, you could triple the width of this wire and do a one wrap and it would still fit
Got it. Don't have sliders so using patinos. . Gonna give it a go. First 4 core alienIf you flip the pin then the wires will be centered
Like this, with the groove ofView attachment 115554 the cotter pin resting on the point of one of the chuck teeth, and the wire coming out of the loop on the opposite side (towards where the other two chuck teeth meet)
Then if you have to you can push the cores towards the center, I think your cotter pins are bigger than mine? Mine is 1 1/2"
Let me know how this goes. I have those and used the 28g to do the quad cores and had the jump. I don't have my decore bouncing up against it though. I put mine about 1-2 inches away from the wrap...which is time consuming.Got it. Don't have sliders so using patinos. . Gonna give it a go. First 4 core alien

Part of the problem with the alien is I never stretch my decor and do the no stretch style and don't do well with the stretch method . It always gets bunched up and even if I use large pex pipe to hold it ,it just doesnt feel right going through my fingers. So I imagine the tension I need to stretch the decor is making the cores collapse ??

Oh no. DammitFucked up...needed 9 ply not 11x.3 ribbon, all too low resistance, supposed to be 0.1 ohm/pair these are 0.08 or lower
2.5, 3, 3.5...

I can take a gander at the reason and say it's because the cores aren't held tightly in the alien maker. They still have room to move up and down in it so they bunch up. Try bouncing the decore up to the Alien maker. I'm not even close to giving up on that super efficient mode yet so if I find a solution that allows for quad and 5 core Aliens to be a easy and quick as 3 core I'll let you all know.

making a clean one, that may take somelots of practice lol
Hahahaha. I'm sorry man, I'm obsessed with that flat wrap. For what it's worth I've never found a noticeable difference between the two in performance.
I use the loop method. I just take an old RDA that I don't use anymore and use that as the weight under the loop. Works pretty well if you keep a consistent pace.
Yeah you can use the loop method for it but it doesn't really work. I would try to eye it out.
Very very nice Meg!
I have been saying for months that the amount of tension should be not bigger than the amount that's required to keep it snug, and that any weight added to your cores will only slow you down. Just like I have been saying for months that the most important thing that's causing aliens to be so difficult for so many people is simply because those people don't want to listen to real advice from pro builders so what I'll say now is, likely those pro builders stopped posting in this thread a long time ago because, if hardly anyone wants to listen, then, frankly, what's the whole point?

Thanks King!
@raymo2u and @CrazyChef v2.0 are two, literally, professional builders who post and give advice on this forum all the time.
May 20th was his last build post.@raymo2u and @CrazyChef v2.0 are two, literally, professional builders who post and give advice on this forum all the time.
Edit: Plus for a lot of us, making aliens and fraliens is easy work. We are all looking up to guys like Raymo and taking inspiration from what he posts. So to generalize as if the majority of people here don't know what they are doing is not really accurate. We are just sharing different ways of doing things with each other. I have this crazy idea, you could actually post a BUILD in this forum. I know it sounds wild but you could give it a shot. I've gone back pages and haven't seen you post any builds. You might be the best builder on the site, I dunno, but you've got a lot of criticism posts and not so many build posts.
Damn that's almost two months ago.
You've come a very long way in a very short time. You have every right to be excited and to share what you've learned. And for the record, I've never noticed anything you've written as being overbearing.
