It’s actually exactly 72” tip to tip diameter .
And when completed 120 bullets at 2” spacing.

Ah yes. The closeups help. From the first picture I thought it was some type of cable raceway material.

I’ve been contemplating building a star-flake spinner, and this is very similar. Perhaps a combination of this design and some pixel mounting strips for the star shape...

However, I wish you wouldn't post this stuff. Makes me feel I made the bad decision of getting out of the hobby.

I do reget leaving and it feels strange not working on something. But it is what it is. In a way I'm relieved because it was stressful doing it all by myself but the end result was extremely satisfying.

I used the small stepper bit that only goes to 1/2” that works better than regular drilll bit

Wilmar,

Very nice. One thing I will warn you it is my experience that PVC pipe like that will work well for a while, but it quickly gets brittle and has a tendency to break at the fittings and can be tricky to repair.

Also, if you have not seen the StarFlake Spinner there are build instructions in the Wiki and a great Build Video on YouTube

Awesome but I just used all my extra mega strip for mini trees so will have to wait
