@thewanderingpine - Thanks I saw that today. I love that John is thinking outside of the box, and offering proper products in Australia.

I guess it all depends on how you construct your tree. My first tree I made my own topper, and still use it to this day. The tree consists of a concrete base which is mounted on 32mm Galvanised Pipe found at Bunnings in the plubming section, and the topper is attached using a 32mm Flange also...

Thanks @BAZMick - I'll send you a PM.

I am hoping somebody in the general area of Brisbane will be able to help me with welding a piece of 300mm pipe to my Tree Topper. I may also need to have a section of either Square Tube or Lower Thickness Pipe welded to the Top-Side of the Tree Topper for easy Mounting of the Tree Star. The...

Hi @Bigred11 I suppose it all depends on what your use-case is? Generally speaking friends don't let friends use strip light, and as such the recommendations you've seen thus far has been what we mostly use in the hobby - 12mm Pixels. Based on your pictures you've posted and on some of the...

As mentioned above, 3D printing is a hobby in itself. That being said, the industry has moved quite a lot in the last couple of years. Gone are the day's of endless tinkering and tweeking to get the perfect print. Prusa has set the standard and embraced the concept of "it just works" with...

I was in the same boat as you, and ended up building a couple of enclosures myself. See thread - https://auschristmaslighting.com/threads/moving-head-spotlights.7212/page-5#post-121918. My Use-case was to build an enclosure that was water proof, and weather proof. It had to keep the MH dry...

Give this a go.

Be on the lookout for Inc Creations bulk buy. They had one earlier this year (January if memory serves me right) where you could get the YPS Waterproof moving heads for $950 a piece.

I started 3 years ago with the 230W non waterproof heads as they were way cheaper than the Waterproof ones. The hassle of building a waterproof enclosure and and money spend on it, I could have simply gotten the Waterproof ones. I did end up getting two waterproof ones the following year, and...

I've used the spare strip solution at the bottom of the ring to make sure the spacing is all the same. Then I've used cable ties between the open holes at about 1/3rd, and 2/3rds up on the tree. I'ts a bit wasteful as you have to cut and dispose of all the cable ties at the end of the season...

I prefer the Bunnings Obelisk Spiral Planter as a Spiral Tree, but at $30 they are more than 3 times that of Aldi's. DANG!

I think @Skymaster hit the nail pretty much dead centre. My 2cents. Stepper or foster drill bit for plastic. Only issue with foster is it only 1 size, i.e. you have to purchase multiple bits for different hole sizes. Stepper you can drill multiple sizes with 1 bit. I've bought this set from...

This is an amazing project. Well done to all involved. Can't wait for the final product.

Try using seed pixels. Much easier to mount.
