Nice build. Definitely going to copy some of your ideas. Thank you for sharing.

Are those 80# bags of concrete?

@lauramcdougal3952 4 месяца назад

Is the star made from Delrin?

How did you wire up the strings. Did you do one long chain, split them to 8 chains, do 16 individual lines, or some other combination. Is your controller at the tree or do you run it to a central location? If it is a central location how long is your run? I built one last year and I am trying to improve my design, totally using a lot of your construction ideas. Fantastic video!

@justinzdesign Год назад

I have it wired as 8 ports, 100 up and 100 down and then another port for the star. Controller is a K8 plus smart receiver that is specific to the tree and mounted to the pole

@stevehornick6918 Год назад

Great Job! What controller are you using? How much do you think you have into it. I want to build one.

@justinzdesign Год назад

Running off a kulp k8 plus a smart receiver. Probably close to $1000 when adding up all the bits and pieces

@jaredwilson6214 Год назад

Great video. What was the height on your main pole?

@justinzdesign Год назад

I think I cut off about 14 inches off so it comes to 8 feet 10 inches. I put up the full 10 foot pole first then measured to see how much to cut

how did the 3d printed star hold up? I have thought about doing the 3d printed start but figured it wouldnt hold up to the elements. What type of filament did you use. thanks

@justinzdesign 10 месяцев назад

Worked out fine, held up to the wind storms and winter weather. It's printed in PETG, I've sold a few and know others that have used it and the only one I know that broke was when a full 20 megatree fell over

@daniellangdon5514 Год назад

How you are you attaching the strips at the bottom and are you just muscling up the pipe with everything on the topper then attaching the bottoms?

@justinzdesign Год назад

Lifting up the pipe with the topper, then ladder to hang the strips, at the bottom they are attached with bungee balls and I ended up adding screws with a washer to keep everything spaced out

@blackdave8525 Год назад

Hi was these 12v or 5v pixels ? did you use a dig quad on these and how many power injections and how many power supplies did you use and what amp power supply .

@justinzdesign Год назад

12v with no power injection running at 70% brightness for testing. Running a k8 now but I did test all the LEDs with a quad previously and it worked. All running on one 29 amp power supply

@blackdave8525 Год назад

@@justinzdesign great job and thanks for getting back to me on this .

@kennethnimmo6334 10 месяцев назад
