worksopian Posted July 13, 2015 Share Posted July 13, 2015 Sorry to drag this one back up again, but I am interested to know how you physically inserted the RGB modules? I took a quick look at one of my new ones yesterday and did not see any way of getting them in without destroying the material? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstorms Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 This might help. You'll find some zip ties around the hub. Cut these and the snowflake comes apart into two pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
worksopian Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Thanks John, will take a look tomorrow after my 8 hours of slavery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 OK.. I don't want to hijack Ken's thread either.. but a sneak peak at the Star Flakes .... This is all Kens fault BTW.. No fancy video here.. Ken does that so well... But here is just a short peek at what I am doing this year.. I built 20 of them so they should be fun.. https://www.dropbox.com/s/zd2qtphq605fhwn/20150328_110005.mp4?dl=0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jstorms Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have a feeling these 24" Philips Glitter String Snowflakes are going to be hot this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plasmadrive Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 About 30% of mine had to be fixed because they came out of the box crushed.. How about you John? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrock_at_rons Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Sweet baby Jesus are those awesome. Great work guys. I just got my pre-sale items from HC so I'll be starting in on mine later this week. I'll post a video once I complete all 9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShaggySS Posted July 14, 2015 Share Posted July 14, 2015 Why oh why did you have to do that? Great work. Thanks for the idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrock_at_rons Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 I haven't branched over to pixels yet, but this is my first foray into RGB. I was up til 1:00am last night to finish soldering the module pigtails. Many thanks to Ken (for the inspiration) and everyone else for answering my 'dumb' RGB/soldering questions (pun intended)... John Storms, Darryl, sax, George Simmons, gmacw, sax, k6ccc (sorry I don't most of your real names yet). I'm sure I'm missing a few names too. I'm hoping to have another video up once I finish the other eight (and possibly a tutorial/walkthrough).Jerod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMurray Posted August 26, 2015 Share Posted August 26, 2015 jrock_at_rons-Awesome job! That is a great idea. Especially for the after Christmas sales to pick up items on the cheap and then gut then to incorporate RGB into it. BTW...my work bench is damn near an exact match as yours. LOL. I wonder how many others out there have a work areas that shows signs of doing heavy duty wear and tear from Christmas decorating / display building. That should be another thread instead of showing of the displays..show off where all the hard work is done!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrock_at_rons Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 BTW...my work bench is damn near an exact match as yours. Nice. While I sit in an air-conditioned office all day, I fancy myself an amateur carpenter in the evening and on weekends. My carpentry skills are now mainly used to build props for the light show (although around Christmas I'll start up the workshop again to make Christmas presents).
