  1. Treezilla Clinic Lonestar Region, Division 3 - Mike Jobe

  2. Treezilla • First a word of thanks to Ray Byer, Division 8 for designing and giving me this prototype of Revision 1.

  3. Treezilla All that is needed to Build your Treezilla

  4. Treezilla Female connector to match power supply 12 Vdc Power Supply 3/4” Standoffs *can also use nuts Screws as well Utz Cheese Balls Container from Wal-Mart Momentary Switch 12 Vdc HIGH FLOW Computer Fan 5 ea. 1 ¾” Screws threaded to match standoffs Alligator Clip Some Electrical Wire and Shrink Tubing (or electrical tape)

  5. Treezilla • Step one – consume 2000 cheese balls • Step two – gain 15 pounds • Step three – work out • Step four – lose 15 pounds • Step five – proceed to building the Treezilla

  6. Treezilla Thoroughly wash the entire container with a dish soap to remove any Cheese Ball residue. If you don’t the material will stick to the sides and you will have a giant green light blub. Prepping the container

  7. Treezilla • Prepping the container Using the fan you purchased mark the bottom of the containing and drill out the fan mounting holes. IMPORTANT NOTE; All of the holes your going to drill need to be snug so that air will not escape from the container while in operation.

  8. Treezilla • Prepping the container Using the female power connector and the momentary switch to get the right size hole size, drill these to mounting holes towards the bottom of the container.

  9. Treezilla • Prepping the container Finally drill a hole on in the middle of the lid using one of the 5 screws as the measurement for the hole size.

  10. Treezilla Begin to wire the fan to include the monetary switch and eventually the female connector for the power supply. • Prepping the fan Momentary switch can be wired now since is fed through the inside of the container. Add wires long enough to allow for the 2 leads to reach out through the hole in the side of the container so you can solder the connector.

  11. Treezilla Switch POWER SUPPLY This is the very simple schematic to wire the Treezilla. • Prepping the fan FAN Connector Negative or ground goes to the prong that is connected to the case of the connector.

  12. Installing the fan Treezilla Insert through the bottom of the container 4 of the 5 screws, they should stay in place and should not fall through the hole.

  13. Installing the fan Treezilla Slide collars over the screws x4 Insert fan into container and mount using the 4 posts you have installed. NOTE make sure that the fan is point so that the air flow is flowing down into the container.

  14. Installing the fan Treezilla FAN USING STAND OFFS

  15. Installing the fan Treezilla USING NUTS BOLTS FAN

  16. Installing the fan Treezilla Install the power connector through the wall of the container Slide the momentary switch through the hole you previously drilled

  17. Installing the Fins Treezilla • Cut • 4 pieces of Plastistruct 1” x 5 “ • 4 pieces of Plastistruct ¼” x 5” • Glue them together as shown to assemble a total • of 4 T Girder fins.

  18. Installing the Fins Treezilla Install (glue) the 4 fins opposite each other on the wall of the container. This will interrupt the natural vortex that will develop during operation and create chaos with the material giving a more natural pattern on the tree.

  19. Finishing with lid Treezilla Slide the screw through the top side of the lid and screw into the handle of the alligator clip.
