Yes very much so. Even a couple hundreths of an ohm is apparent down in the .1 range.
Oh more science!!! Keep us up to date
1 page back, post #23606 has a video of Meg doing 5 core 30g. That's the only technique I use for multi round core builds. Depending on how well you get the tension on the cores you may not even need to use sliders. I don't have a cotter pin. I use 18g galvanized steel and bend it to shape.
Also, when worse comes to worse, Just stop and pinch with nylons every little bit if you need to.
I've never been able to do more than 2 core fused Claptons...
...until now.
I remember when i tried 3 cores fused clapton las time i did @WPMac special karate punch to the whole setup...I've never been able to do more than 2 core fused Claptons...
...until now.
Tried the ribbon slider like in Meg's video, but used an eye hook instead of a cotter pin. Finally got a successful usable length of multi core fused Clapton wire.

I loop my cores and use Ribbon sliders. The Ribbon sliders leg on the drill side I bend so it points out at almost 90 degrees, creating a short wall. The clapton hits this wall and pushes the slider down the cores like a Alien Maker would, this is how I do my Multicore Fused Claptons. If trying this just make sure your Ribbon slider is atleast a .5R strand and it pinched lightly so it can easily slide. Ill try and get some picturues for you of how I set of the slider. This method requires a lot of tension and you to hold the same angle while claptoning all the way down which can be difficult at first but once you get it, its just as fast and easy as making normal claptons.
No real need to buy them, just make your ownI have the Patino's, but never really tried using them yet.
I bought these ones:
Sweet! Thanks so much for the pics Raymo, and @WPMac , @CrazyChef v2.0 @zephyr and other dudes for the tipsNo real need to buy them, just make your own
Just make sure that edge of the ribbon is what the clapton right where e top of the core is that was the clapton doesnt push it down and pushes on the lowest point of the wall allowing it to push forward instead of downwards.

hopong to be able to spin some builds up soon. Looking like it'll be after Christmas now though :/

Double Frame Staggertons

Been a while again for any uploads from myself. Moving around a fair bit so setting up drills hasn't been achievable. Been working on my braiding and hammering skills instead. 5 loop fishtail braid in different sizes, messed up the first few of these by using information from a different braid (pics 1,2 and 3) :/ a proper version of the fishtail (pic 4) 7 loop variant and 8 loop celtic braids (pics 6,7 and 8), 2nd of which I managed the whole stick without mistakes. Need to work on coring these builds next. Awesome work from you guys to come back to as well

I dont, I space the alien wrap by eye
Any tips on that? I can never seem to get good spacing by eyeI dont, I space the alien wrap by eye

Yah I want helicon too. But I don't want to spend the 30 bucks
And wtf ... those are just standard old jpegs? How the hell are they so clean?
You need to stretch the decore so its basically needs "no tension", then hold the decore at a 5-ish degree angle and then use pinch tension to control the spacing. Shoot for about 1mm per space.Any tips on that? I can never seem to get good spacing by eye
Those look pretty incredible
the trick that worked for me was to start out making normal alien wraps for about a half inch and then carefully lead my wrap hand a little bit. as the drill is spinning and you wrap that first half inch up, you can see that the wraps are shiny and tight like normal alien wraps should look. if you lead your wrap hand a little towards your swivels, the spinning/wrapped up part will lose its shine. the window for the spacing to work is somewhere between the wraps losing their shine, and being able to see the spaces in between them. in my experience, if i could see the spacing as it was spinning, it was about 5 times bigger than it needed to be. i just lead until my shine turns grey and hope for the best. i have only made a handful of alien staggs at this point, but the tightest ones were the ones i just trusted that spacing and went for it.
@KarmicRage those are some clean braids bruv 
Thanks Meg! Just trying to figure out some different variations that work for me and look interesting. I have to take the time to learn how to razorback too. It’s just hard to find the time to watch a 4 hour Nick Devine video
Just now saw this Meg.
Thanks man. I keep playing around with staggering. Trying to come up with new ideas that I can pull off.Wow wow wee wa i like!

Cheers dude
I just watched the Jdubs video on YouTube. Haven't seen how his actually turned out so don't know how they're supposed to look. The pattern isn't all that hard to do, even managed to execute both hands at the same time for time efficiency. Yet to throw most of them in any atty, can't wait to colour them up though
