    Question ! What is your Mega tree base diameter please? I'm using your plans to build my tree.

    Is the star made from Delrin?

    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
      @justinzdesign  2 роки тому

      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

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

    • @justinzdesign
      @justinzdesign  2 роки тому +1

      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 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
      @justinzdesign  2 роки тому

      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

    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
      @justinzdesign  Рік тому

      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

    What's the diameter of the tree and how many pixels per string?

    • @justinzdesign
      @justinzdesign  2 роки тому +1

      At the bottom about 40 inches, 16 strings of 100 pixels at 1 inch spacing

    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
      @justinzdesign  2 роки тому +1

      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

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