seti88 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 wooooooffffff awesome fixture ideas yeti! I would gather they will also work if the mount was hanging from the ceiling? sort of like an underside display or could we turn them over to display a barrel-roll across the ceiling? that would be epic!!

A few of my valk specific adapters hold tight enough to do that. I wouldn't trust the bandai cradles upside down. oh! definitely more than enough load rating! Go big, or go home. You are already putting a hole in the wall. Might as well be a useful one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea i suspect so too, but was thinking if there would be an upside down adapter solution tht would work! Something that replaces the bandai ones. Anyway just a tot on the barrel roll idea !

no3Ljm Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Hey Yeti. Any chance that we could see everything in clear acrylic in the future, esp the adapters? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaoticYeti Posted October 31, 2015 Author Share Posted October 31, 2015 That adapters themselves will remain 3d printed, but all of the arms and such will be acrylic once I get my laser cutter in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
no3Ljm Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 That adapters themselves will remain 3d printed, but all of the arms and such will be acrylic once I get my laser cutter in. I see. So no chance of them being acrylic in the future with your laser cutter? You know, just to make everything 'clear'. Or the 3D print adapters are more sturdy somehow?

Not too familiar with these 3D print stuff and materials used. But I really appreciate the info and updates you've given us. Thanks Yeti! By the way, I've showed my wife the wall mount thing and she said it looks cool coz I've been telling her that I want to mount my Valks on the wall to save space. She just so worried that it might fall and she knows that I'm going to cry if that happens. Hahaha! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossJunkie Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Those wall mounts are a really cool idea! I bet someone is eventually going to try mounting 5-6 valks to a single wall mount just to see if they can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSenpai Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Here's a config with 2 valks. And of course the 2 I picked have the WORST adapters as they do not positively click onto anything. I'll leave them to see if it holds, but it is very solid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChaoticYeti Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 It makes more sense to have extra pivots on the mount instead of branching off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmal Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Hi Yeti, I know this photo was from a year ago, but have you given any thought to making an adapter for the Arcadia "Yamato" bases like you did for the Bandai DX bases? For the longest time, I had my Yamato Valks sitting precariously on Action Bases with EXO's adapters, which wasn't bad but the weight distribution kept me from doing too much with posing. Then I got a few of those Arcadia bases last year and they're much studier but pretty static. I'm thinking of getting a few arms to Yeti-fy my DX bases so they can pose more dynamically, but I'd like to keep using the Arcadia bases because I like the storage compartments. What do you think?

ChaoticYeti Posted November 1, 2015 Author Share Posted November 1, 2015 You are asking for a yetistand style pivot that would somehow attach to the Arcadia base? I'll look into it. I have one from my Arcadia VF-1S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mickyg Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Definitely. The wall mount would be clear acrylic. Nice! But I meant making a new pivot mount for the Alpha Stands that has 3 points instead of one. Means a clear acrylic base, with a clear acrylic triple mounting point for the arms. It would save on the complexity of making 3 arms work with the current, single point only mounting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely. I can do that too. Honestly, having an in house laser cutter is gonna be a whole new venture for this stuff. Far easier to test new designs, and make requests.

Far easier to test new designs, and make requests. Wow yeti,awesome shots! You are opening up a whole new way to display here... I can imagine painting the wall (blue skies, moving ground) which would instantly bring out the display with background! Or a mirror solution with a gap in the center where the wall mount goes, to show off the undersides of the valks flying on the wall.. nice!

ChaoticYeti Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 Re-arranged the Plus valks. Before: After: If a few people want to buy XL arms and adapters from the webstore, I will throw in a free wall mount with mounting hardware to try out.
