    I definitely can't see these being a big problem for such a cheap printer, as MagicDan said. The normal problem for other cheap (ie three times the cost of the Peachy) printers is along the lines of "doesn't actually print" - in comparison, these issues are trivial.

    For (2), would it be practical to solder the coil wires to some much thicker (more robust) wire? Even 28AWG should be fine, and that's big enough to use with standard crimp connectors. Then, to prevent the thicker wire putting stress on the super-fine coil wire, 3D print a "coil holder" that keeps it all together.

    Edit: hmm, suppose you soldered the thicker wires to the coil, then put maybe 1mm of resin in a small container, placed the coil + wires flat in the container (ie partially immersed in the resin), and left it out in the sun? Ideally, that should result in the really delicate wires and the joint to the thicker wires being firmly embedded in cured resin, but with the coil right at the surface of the resin. This has the advantage that you don't need a working Peachy printer to do it.
