Ron Boyd Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Cool. Seems simple enough. MSD board id what? I've heard of MDF but not MSD. In my opinion, you are correct, if the Coroplast had been used, it would have been much lighter. One other thing, Do you have a materials and cut list for anybody who might want to build this. I ask because, I may want to build a few of these for Mini trees next year. I know the cut list would not be the same, but some other folks may want to build one the size of yours. Great How-to. Thanks for sharing. On another note, how was the RGB studying? Did you get a chance to look at some of it? OK, I just re-read the post about the CoroCanes. Did you really mean 10-14 FOOT tall? That's big!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's big!! Thanks Ron, Yeah i have been doing some looking into RGB. Im more of a hands on and while I am able to watch videos online, there seems to be several choices in the types of RGBs, chips, and different types of power sources. Im not planning on using RGB for this year. However, If I challenge myself and think its possible I would like to try it with my candy cane. And yes. 10-14 foot candy canes. Two of them. I have already started the design. But will not complete it unless I can figure out how to master the RGB. It would take up way to many LOR channels. Thanks everyone for the input and comments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_moody Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 (edited) If your interested in pixel based HolidayCoro CoroCanes...

LORisAwesome Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Your box christmas tree looks great. You should name it in your honor, like the Weber tree, Marty fan etc... I was wondering though -- If you added a blue bulb, would you be able to simulate RGB and get many different colors by varying the intensities?

gtoyeah Posted September 23, 2013 Author Share Posted September 23, 2013 Lol. I like the idea but my name doesn't really seem to fit. Travis Runyan. Oh well Anyways. Yes I can add blue and get the same or close to the effect at a single Rgb bulb. However that's a lot of channels. Thanks everyone for the kind words. Anyone else make one? Or have a similar design.

LORisAwesome Posted September 23, 2013 Share Posted September 23, 2013 I dunno, you could call it the Travis Tree. Why not -- it has a nice ring to it. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen and April Cook Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I like It, its simple and you can make several shapes and designs with this concept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
