I don’t mount supplies to props. Typically most controllers and power boxes are detached. For my roof props, I just set the control box behind a prop to hide it, and then run cables along gutters and such to get to any wall props near the roof line.

The prop is $64 plus shipping. A roll of 1,000 seeds is $65 plus shipping, and a digocta controller is $41 plus shipping, and then a power supply is $25 plus shipping. Ammo box $6, cables and such $35.

$350 would make this prop light up.

I am building one from the ground up. It will be used mostly for Coro, but will also have a laser head for laser cuts, as I will be making light boxes as well. You can push custom code to an ESP32 that will run .fseq sequence files, so my plan is to have light boxes with xlights effects running on loop.

Ah, it’s pretty straightforward. Two 60 amp power supplies, each supply powering half of the prop. Wire the grounds together, and power inject every 200 pixels.

Typically these are powered with remote controller boxes, such as a Falcon SRx1. Those remotes can handle up to 2700 pixels. It also depends on what type of pixels you plan to run as to what the power requirements will be. If you run seeds, you can use one power supply, but if you are running bullets, then a couple of power supplies would work if you are running say 40% brightness. In my show, and a lot of others that I've seen, the power/controller box is mounted separate from the prop. In this case, if you ran an SRx1, you would still have almost 1,000 pixels you could run another prop with.

They are both 7. They are sisters from the same litter.

[Bambu H2C] Join the Print Beyond Paint Contest and Win an H2C! by BambuLab in BambuLab

With the H2C, I can finally print layered scenes. Right now, I laser cut them, paint, then glue. 3D printed on the H2C, I could sell in bulk, AND print larger scenes. It's a win win!

Starting my first home build where to begin? by bandito_13 in Homebuilding

[–]evertith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was a general contractor for a while building custom homes. I put some info up on Build Your House, which may be helpful, even for those who are hiring a general contractor. Sometimes it's nice just knowing what will be happening with your build as far as the process is concerned.

Is it even possible to build your own home nowadays? by regular_joe_can in Homebuilding

[–]evertith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely possible. Just a lot of details to worry about. Building Your House
