Are you asking if my OpenSCAD code pulls variable information from
Brian's excellent COIL program? If so, the answer is that it doesn't.
You can get what you want from Brian's program and then load those
numbers into the OpenSCAD files. Somebody could probably write a script
to directly pass the variables, but I don't see the point. For one
thing Brian's program assumes a coil with uniform diameter and the
version of my files you are referring to results in a slightly tapered coil.
If you're simply asking how to use Brian's program, it's just an
executable file.

Good morning all. How do you access the optimizer in Brian's COIL
program ?
Thank you.

able
to get the general idea. I recommend clicking on the gear at the
lower
right of the video and setting the playback speed to 2x. I'm pretty
slow if I have to think and talk at the same time. ;)

There is a link for the OpenSCAD (free and easy to use open source
modeling software) files in the YouTube description, but here it
is as well:

The coil would have looked better if I had let the superglue cure
on its
own. Running water over it to speed up the cure made it sort of
bubble
up and trashed the appearance.
