Building the Tree

The build was accomplished in roughly six months. Much of the branch orientation and fitting was done trial and adjustment, using mostly 10-15 degree angles between branch segments. As the design of the branch segment allowed for rotation, it took little effort to orient the branches into a suitable configuration. LED strips are secured to wooden branches using cable staples, and to metal trunk structure using zip ties. In total Synaptic Tree has approximately 2000 LEDs.
