PVC tubes with 3D printed ball joints, colored in fluo colors to make the usual synthwave mountains and sun horizon.

Dependencies

• TODO: Other teams needed?
  • will need some power for the backlights
• TODO: Permits required?
  • I don't think so, it's lightweight, decor, and outside
• TODO: Power in watts?
  • 2 blacklight TL
  • 1 beamer
  • LOTS of rgb rope, have to look into it.
• TODO: Network? Private network required?
  • still looking into it.

Status

• TODO:
• cut the 4m pipes for greenhouse test
• paint pipes
• make a 3D render for the decor to check features.
• cut the parts for the decor.

Howto: Prepare

• TODO: Is there a part in the preparation process that can be performed in parallel by a group of volunteers?
  • 5 stared spokes
• TODO: Do volunteers require a specific set of skills?
  • nope, the system is modular joints so it's really easy
• TODO: How many volunteers over how many hours are required?
• 1 or 2 volunteers, total 16 hours, so 8 hours with 2 people, and less if more people help.
• TODO: Is the preparation bound to a specific location?
  • goal is at the end of the rainbow road.
• TODO: How much space is required to store the project before it is moved to the event site?
  • 1 euro pallet 1m high-ish

TODO: Describe the manufacturing process in the highest level of detail.

• pick correct color tube from cart
• pick a manual
• start the lego-ing of parts
• when frame is built, span canvas on it.

Howto: Buildup

• TODO: Where is the stuff stored?
  • at my apartment
• TODO: Should Team Logistics be involved in moving the project to the event site?
  • yes, it's quite a volume, and there is also another project with 12 beamers that needs a pick-up
• TODO: How many volunteers are required?
  • one to two
• TODO: How much time is required?
  • 2 days (depending on amount of help can go back to 4 hours)
• TODO: Provide instructions on how to set up the installation on the event site.
  • unload parts
  • sort pipes depending on colors
  • build a lot of smaller parts when possible
    • like 5 pointed stars for the "sun" globe.
  • start assembly and lifting and connecting
  • add canvasses
  • lay down electrical wiring for the leds and blacklights and ( maybe) beamers.

Howto: Teardown

• TODO: Throw/give away?
  • Maybe give away: design made for re-use =D
• TODO: How many volunteers are required?
  • at least one, maybe two
• TODO: How much time is required?
  • estimated 2 days build up and testing
• TODO: How much waste in cubic meters is produced?
  • NONE... wel ok, a lot of 30cm pvc piping is left over but that won't make it to the event: cutting 75cm out of 4m parts... I might be able to optimize better, but there's a lot of pie involved.
