HolidayCoro WEB
« on: August 13, 2015, 11:11:36 AM »
I received my web yesterday and I created a model for it.
The only extra thing I did is add 1 pixel right on the middle.

Here is the link, enjoy it.

Butterfly Style #2, gives cool circular radial effects that would probably look great on that as they do stars and other circular models.

Do not ask to know all the answers, but ask to understand the question.

Just an update, if you are buying this WEB, go ahead and buy a Drill bit 7/16, the holes are not perfect and the bullet doesn't go in easy. Is not as flexible as the strips or the coro, so you can have a hard time adding the bullets.

Some bullets are not the same size as other bullets, and an alternative could be leaving it in the sun for a couple of hours to make it more pliable before the bullets go in.

Yeah I was trying to look at the photo to see if it had the earholes for the little tabs to make it through easier.  I know the coroflakes I bought were a pain in the butt because it was just a round hole.  I got a big blister just doing the first 50 leds.  I know at the Expo James was showing me his stuff and he seemed to have worked out optimal holes but of course these chinese nodes don't always have the same consistent specs.

I actually had to use 15/32 drill bit. And still a pain.

I added 12 bullets to the middle of the web, it was to empty.
Also because I am using wires with 3" spaces between them I had to change the path of the wiring.
The link on google/drive is update.

Roberto, sorry if I missed this but are you putting a node in the center hole as well?  Looks too big but perhaps you could make it work somehow if you wanted.

I was going to add something on the middle, but decided to only add 12 extra bullets closer to the center.
On the middle you could have one 20mm ball, but would look different :-)

The other posts about the nodes being different are correct - while in theory all nodes should fit into a 12mm hole, after you work with a lot of different vendor pixels you come to find that nodes differer in diameter, materials (soft to stiff) and even the space between the "fingers" that grap onto the material.  The material in this item is ABS but due to some of these issues with ABS and it's rigidity, we are going to be switching back to HDPE for all but a few items since it is a bit more forgiving for node installation.

I wish there were standards that we as manufacturers could follow but there just are not any and this sometimes makes it hard for us to meet every requirement customers may have for these types of products.

Thank you,

100+ Bullets that I tried to install on this WEB came from HolidayCoro last year, and they didn't go easy either.
But all is good now. I really recommend adding the extra bullets on the middle, it makes a big difference.

Thanks
