Papa6058 Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I am putting up a 20' Mega Tree and need ideas how to build a 3D star. I would prefer 3 or 4 channels, but it needs to be visible at about 180 degrees. Thank you all for any ideas. This will be mounted on a Rohn tower. Michael
Troy_Connor Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 My suggestion would be to make several stars. Then assemble them in an astrick design if looking down on the star. You can get by using 3 channels and give the star an illusion of it spinning. Hope this helps.
Mike G Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 I have one like this that I bought a few years ago. Maybe the picture will give you an idea on how to make one. I can pm you the link to the vendor that carries this and other styles.

Ron Boyd Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 http://store.3glightingcreations.com/18-3-channel-star/ I have one already populated with 35 Cool White LEDs on each star. They go for $42. I'll Take $40 for it and you pay shipping. I'll give you the LEDs for free. PM me if you're interested Ron

Do you have a few good pics of your star. Tell me what you think shipping will be and lets do this. Oh what size is the one you have? I am really needing a 24" Thank youMichael Edited November 5, 2013 by Papa6058
Ron Boyd Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 https://www.dropbox.com/sh/uulxssvi7nvr9qw/RaNopaO01i Unlit and lit. To make it easier to ship and make the shipping least, I can break it down and package it and then send it in a flat box. Not sure how much it would cost. I'm guessing maybe $15. The reason I'm not using it is, I'm doing a 6 channel burst star like Brians on his Superstar tree.

Ron Boyd Posted November 5, 2013 Posted November 5, 2013 It's a smidge over 18". From the base to the top tip is about 22"

EARLE W. TALLEY Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 plasmadrive, if you were closer I would make you one, I have 3, one on top of each of my spiral trees.
Santas Helper Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 That's a sweet star Ron.Michael, you got a good deal there.
Papa6058 Posted November 6, 2013 Author Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) I am all about the good deals, thank you for your help on some of those deals Tom! The deeper I go into this obsession the more it appears to be a rich guys (or girls) hobby. Every great idea has many many hidden cost....... like extension cords, hardware more hardware more hardware LOL After seeing your tower with this star Tom I decided it was the answer for the Mega Tree Star Edited November 6, 2013 by Papa6058
gmac Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 CLS also has that star and you can get it as a complete kit with lights ......All that has to be done is put it together and screw it on.
WayneKremer Posted November 6, 2013 Posted November 6, 2013 Plasmadrive, I 'm replacing my 3D star this year with a pixel star. The 3D star has white ropelight wrapped around it. I'm not too far from you (2 hour drive) if you are interested....
