blitz Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Placed my second order of GokinPlus stands. Love them. Does anyone know what this product is? Was it a Yeti stands product? It adapts the bandai stand for use with the acrylics arms like yeti. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sildani Posted November 5, 2023 Share Posted November 5, 2023 That was a Yeti product, 3D printed by him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sanity is Optional Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 1 hour ago, Sandman said: Does the bandai base have enough weight to keep from toppling over? DX bases are hollow plastic, they rely on the size/width of the base being underneath the center of mass to keep things from tipping. I'd be very careful about mounting something too high up, or too much off-center with one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anasazi37 Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 I'm calling my Yamato 1/48 VF-1 adapters for Archi Stands complete. Tinkered with them a bunch over the long weekend, after not working on them for a few months. They can be printed in something more durable like PETG, but PLA does just fine with the way that I designed the structural reinforcements. There are four available: Battroid, Gerwalk, Fighter, and Armored Fighter. There are two Fighter versions because of how low the legs, arms, and gunpod sit with the armor attached. Plus the Armored Fighter is a lot heavier. They attach to the Archi Arcadia-A adapter. There's a tab that sits inside the Arcadia-A and a sleeve that goes around the outside for added stability. Even under extreme banking scenario tests they've held up just fine. They are cradles, in other words they do not clip onto the valk. They leverage gravity and valk weight distribution in each mode, which eliminates worries about paint scraping (helpful for customs). I would not recommend tilting the valk 90 degrees or holding it upside down with the adapter attached. Not sure why you'd want to do that, but I'm putting the disclaimer out there anyway. I'll be putting them up on Cults3D or another site soon. Will likely sell them as a set for a small amount, mainly to recover the cost of all the material I went through while designing them.

Wish I could say that I did something special to keep him that white. I've had him sitting on an open shelf for years, but I live in a really dry place at high elevation and keep the display room fairly dark. Some or all of that environmental stuff probably helped. I did have a wing on another 1/48 start to go yellow on me, but I think that happened a long time ago when I was living somewhere far more humid.

blitz Posted December 1, 2023 Share Posted December 1, 2023 Decided to recreate these adapters for personal use, wondering if there is any interest in the STLs. I made my own version of the DX adapter and the yeti bandai stand adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anasazi37 Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 The Yamato 1/48 VF-1 adapters for Archi Stands are now on Cults3D. I'm selling them for $5 as a set of four (Fighter, Armored Fighter, Gerwalk, Battroid): https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/art/yamato-1-48-vf-1-valkyrie-adapters-for-archi-display-stands Given the complexity of the designs, they may not be easy for beginners to print. You have to use supports in many places and there will be some post-print cleanup needed as a result. I pre-oriented the parts for printing to make them as strong as possible and to both limit the amount of cleanup needed and limit how visible the supported sections are.
