Documenting my mini build in case anyone wants some ideas.. ideas/criticism welcome as this is my first pixel tree!
Specs:
180-210 Degree (will see which looks better!)
Height - 3m
Top Dia - 300mm
Bottom Dia - 1200mm
Type - 12mm Node
Strings - 16 x 42
Node Spacing - 70mm
Mast is 42mm OD gal pipe 4m long with 1m in the ground. The mast will go into a PVC pipe, 50mm ID, concreted in but below ground level so it can be capped and hidden when not needed. To take up the slack in diameters I 3d printed some sleeves which makes for a nice sliding fit
Top hanger is a 42mm base flange to which I've welded a ring made by hand from 6mm steel rod, supported by 8mm bracing. This will attach with an 8mm bolt inserted through the pipe (hopefully!)
More pics/info as bits and pieces arrive from our chinese friends
