I am looking at winding my own inductors. I am trying to figure out how to do it without too much headache. I have access to 3d printer that can print a variety materials. I want to make fairly large 2.0mH 15A coils. Any tips? I can get fairly long 16AWG PTFE insulated silver coated copper wire scraps from local electricians I work with.
Is there any procedures available without having to redesign the wheel? I have a mini lathe. I am told to go with P-core if I can find a bobbin big enough.
I'll never need to drive more than 200W into the load. These are for PA speakers which I use at parties and outdoor electronic drum kits and synths.
Ultimately, i'd like to make something like the photo attached but better.
Thanks!

Too much wasted space, you'll end up increasing the resistance. You'd be best with magnet wire.
I'd suggest you begin by calculating a standard air core unit and looking at the properties of it.
