This is a 5 light pixel stick suitable for use with xLights sequencing software. The one shown is printed in white filament. You can use "clear" filament but you will see hotspots where the pixels are. It can be printed in PLA or PETG. Supports are not needed.
There are two versions of the pixel stick. The one marked 300mm has the pixels 2" apart and requires a large bed printer such as the CR-10, etc. The one marked 240mm has pixels 1 5/8" apart and is suitable for printing on a small bed printer such as the Ender 3.
There are five ways to stake this into the ground: (see photos)
New 2021/01/21 Pixel Stick Base and Pixel Stick Cross Base. These screw into the bottom of the Pixel Stick and allow you to screw them into wood or use landscaping stakes to hold them into the ground. The benefit is that these will space your sticks exactly 150mm center to center (~ 6 inches) apart for perfect alignment.
Version 3 (2021/01/19): includes cable management at the bottom of the stick**
Version 3.1 (2021/01/20): Increased size of cable management.
Version 4.0 (2021/02/01): Changed the threads on all parts to make it easier to screw together.
