BobW Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'm putting together my Boscoyo Star and I'm wondering: Do I push the pixel in until it stops, or push it through until it stops on the far side? If the first stop, the pixel is flush with the face of the star. If I push it through, then the pixel will stick out from the face of the star and would be more dramatic looking. I don't think I want to just try it because I think it will stretch the inner hole and if it isn't right, the pixel won't lock. Thanks, Bob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDucks Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (I have a HC sflake) If you stop with the tip of the bullet flush, you have a point source. If it protrudes (the lens part of the bullet), it allows the light to spread a bit. What effect do you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Now I'm going to have to look at mine to see what I did. Optically, I don't think it will make much difference unless you have people watching from way off axis. As I recall, mine are protruding at least a little.

Mr. P Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I push mine in to the first ridge lip, you will feel a kind of pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k6ccc Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I took a few pictures of mine. The bottom photo is likely the most important. I am holding the penny to give a size reference. I agree with Mr. P about the "pop". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 I currently have them 'popped' at the back of the star, pending responses here. I'm leaning towards pushing them through to 'pop' in the face of the star. Thanks to all who responded. Bob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. P Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Yes, definitely push them in. mine look just like Jim's above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobW Posted October 8, 2019 Author Share Posted October 8, 2019 Thanks again for the replies. I had also posed the question to Boscoyo and their response was to push it through until it locks on the front edge/face. Good to go. Bob W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
