George Simmons Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Tribute to Dan C, from whom the idea came. I mounted a DanBurst inside my circle CCR. Looks like they just might get along with each other...http://vimeo.com/28798915 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huskernut Posted September 8, 2011 Share Posted September 8, 2011 Hi George, I think I asked you this a while back but I should have written it down. On the circle CCR are the pixels on the front of the circle as you look at it or around the outside of the circle?If on the face as it looks, did you have any trouble bending the ribbon as it would seem to be being bent sideways?Did you have to play with the circumference or just settle on 16 feet?Thanks SirRick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're on the front face.If on the face as it looks, did you have any trouble bending the ribbon as it would seem to be being bent sideways? The ribbon is flexible enough that there's no stress issue with that large of a curve. I used 3/4" grey electrical pvc and I fastened the ribbon with zip ties pulled JUST snug enough to hold it in place - NOT TIGHT. Repeat: NOT TIGHT! There are little puckers and bumps but they make no difference in how it looks at night.Did you have to play with the circumference or just settle on 16 feet? I laid out the ribbon alongside the pvc and arrived at the length that way. Then, if I remember correctly, I still had to take about two inches off. Thanks SirRickThanks guys for your kind words. And thanks to Dan C for letting me pirate his contraption after he came up with an idea before I did as to how to use some bulbs both he and I picked up last closeout season. Another channel moved from ready-reserve to active duty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I built the whole thing this past weekend, but haven't had time to sequence it yet. I'm really glad to see what it can look like. Once again---the master prevails. Thanks for sharing.

Surfing4Dough Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Is the difference in brightness between the two (the CCR and the DanBurst) as significant as the video shows, or is that mostly the effect of the video? The DanBursts appeared very bright on their own, but seem a little weaker compared to the CCR. Look great/cool either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The CCRs are the brightest objects in my entire display. Actually, I wish they were about 20% dimmer. The DanBurst is a pretty cool effect for only one channel, but it's pretty much a one-trick-pony.

Always looking for a new feature for display. And if it is only 1 channel then I am on board. Thanks for posting George. If anyone finds how to make one let me know.

Tim Fischer Posted December 1, 2012 Share Posted December 1, 2012 That's a link to the old forum software, which no longer works.I did a quick search and came up empty - but I believe these are a few of the "falling snow tubes" arranged in a snowflake configuration. Then they just get tied together on one channel and triggered when desired.Pretty neat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
