Mega tree strip stabilizer

thingiverse

This part is engineered to minimize flop and twist on massive mega trees using the original Boscoyo strips. To install, simply add these parts after inserting pixels into strips, or slide them into place as pixels are being pressed into the strips. By removing one or two pixels at the desired location, the strip can be folded slightly to allow it to be inserted into the stabilizer. A photo is included, demonstrating this process. Once these parts are installed, simply thread a length of 3/32 vinyl cable (1/8 diameter with vinyl included) through and secure it in place using a couple of zip ties. You can either zip tie each strip to the cable or leave all but the ends free to float, allowing the tree to "breathe". This part was designed for the original Boscoyo strips, which have been thoroughly tested and confirmed to work on new style strips as well. However, a newer version (8) has been introduced, providing an added 0.02 (0.5mm) space for thicker strips or printers that struggle with tolerance issues. These parts fit between bullet pixels at 2-inch spacing.
