in the middle, just use a piece of rebar, perhaps painted black, to support the highest part of the arch... a zip tie should help keep it up there. :)

keen to find out myself. I've got to do a Hanson order really soon, but I'm holding back to see about this new Baldrick controller.

we were initially looking at some sort of build party in September, and I meant to try and organise something, but I'm thinking I've left the run too late. The Mini we were looking at holding earlier next year than it was this year, and this thread was for ideas/suggestions on it.

finally hooked it up and put it in place for some testing today. Button works great (did Skymaster mod for the button), and it receives the signal fine, however I get a lot of background static noise, and it really is noticeable. I've got everything, including the meanwell inside the box, so...

welcome, and make sure you ask plenty of questions.

yes, a earlier in the year for the Mini is what we hope to be able to organise, so that people can get some understanding and further planning of their own projects. We're looking at a 'build party' in a couple of months time too, but more on that at a later date.

Safe trip, see you Saturday.

I would suggest not using PLA for anything in a moderately warm location. I made some PLA brackets for a shelf in a cabinet, and whilst it wasn't very hot inside it, the brackets softened and drooped down. I replaced them with PETG ones last year, and they have lasted well, i.e. no drooping. :)

Placed my order tonight, hopefully you'll have it in stock by the time of the Mini. :)

interested to follow this. One of my neighbours is currently doing his outdoor area, and has a wide top rail that he has routed a wide groove in it and wants to put "led strips" in it to light up, simply a white light glow. The groove and strip would be facing in a downwards direction, so water...

did the same, thought how good is this for the price, and it further takes stuff away from a central controller point. for the price, it works out as good as a smart receiver, but with extra ports. :)

I don't suppose anyone has a stl to mount one of these Baldrick boards on to a Meanwell psu, like the smart controller mounts ? I think they'd work really well as a standalone controller box with a meanwell psu, so keen to find a stl to print out one. :)

So I asked on the Xlights support group on facebook, and had a few photos posted there, and thought for those following this thread it would be nice to repost those images here. Steve Lawrence Robert Koenemund Richard Pitt Dennis Van Landuyt and Joe Marthey. Thank you guys for...

I'll be there... great day to meet others, and steal ideas too ! :D

resurrecting this old post of mine. Just wanting to see how others have painted their singing trees, as in the boscoyo ones. I'm guessing green of course, but wanted to see some pictures of what you've actually done, as I'm sure you would've done more than simply paint it totally green, i.e...
