This is a look behind the scenes at version 2 of the 3D printed electrode protectors I’ve been developing for the Atupa Series. It’s already made it into three pieces currently in progress — Sour Mint, Hyacinth Galaxy, and Cobalt Shock — so this isn’t just theory anymore, it’s a test put into action with intention.
The protector is designed to do a few things at once:- Protect the electrode and tubulation from damage — bumps, rolling, general handling.
- Cinch and hold the HV wire in place, acting as a strain relief mechanism.
- Provide a cavity that gets filled with a low-viscosity dielectric silicone once everything’s seated.

silvering the outside surface of the plasma globe’s capacitive ‘trode can put the conductive layer closest to the glass, but tapes with conductive adhesives also work well and are great for experimenting
Than you for the recommendations!
