David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Sorry I can't do the cool all-black background pics... Anyways---I would love some Yeti-designed new adapters for the -25/29. As in, use no Bandai parts at all. See how the -25 is pitching upwards into a climb? The -29 can't do that---it'll slide right out of its own Bandai-built adapter if you angle it very much past straight-n-level. Bandai's adapters are also HUGE.

ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 Those look pretty cool next to each other. Very white knight, black knight. I'll take another look at my 29 as far as adapter replacements go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 As always, still tweaking this. It is printing well with PLA. I am going to try and get it to continue longer and sit under the gap in the calve for extra support. Than I will try and get it to print well with ABS, but the tabs I am using around the metal hip joint are tiny. I will update when ready.

David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 For additional support----something like the -25 w/booster's adapter? It plugs into the forearms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author Share Posted February 10, 2015 The 29 doesn't have slots in the forearms. I am thinking about something that just sits in the gap between the calve panel and the forearm. Might not be necessary, but the more points of contact the better.

Saburo Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Cool, I am looking forward to seeing what you do for the adapters. Does this mean, there could be Yeti replacement adapters for the VF-25 (standard, super, tornado and armored) adapters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) If people will buy them, I'll make them. I don't know about the heavier armaments. If I can't come up with something that works better than the bandai ones, I won't offer them.

ChaoticYeti Posted February 11, 2015 Author Share Posted February 11, 2015 Works very well: This is upside down hanging from the adapter itself, unsupported: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Hingtgen Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Mmmn, yes, need one of those. Would that same molding work with a super-pack VF-25? VF-25 legs/arms would be in the same position in that configuration. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can't come up with something that works better than the bandai ones, I won't offer them. Understandable. The YF-29 adapter looks great, if It can be used on the VF-25 would be great. Its too bad that the RVF-25 uses a gunpod adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VF-25 legs/arms would be in the same position in that configuration. The geometry is entirely different. The gap between the calves and the forearms is much larger, and the added hip armors get in the way of the hip bar I am tabbing around on the 29.

The Old Man Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 Awesome/dammit. I suppose I should be grateful I only have the one 29... well until the blue one comes out. Sorry I can't do the cool all-black background pics...Anyways---I would love some Yeti-designed new adapters for the -25/29. As in, use no Bandai parts at all.

David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Fiddling around tonight---found a more "efficient" way to do my -25/29 pairing. Still working on it. There's definitely a "learning curve" to using these, as you discover how things work, what's the best way to achieve a certain position, etc. Sure, you can accomplish anything with 4 arms and 4 elbows, but getting the same thing using like half as many parts, gives a sense of satisfaction. (plus it looks better and is probably more stable). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find myself getting an orientation with whatever parts I can, and than slowly reworking the stand to more efficient hold the figure in that pose.
