Saburo Posted February 9, 2015 Posted February 9, 2015 Sweet! The adapter works great! Thanks for letting me test it out. Great Gundam shots Saburo! Thanks Spanner! Damnit! I cannot afford to be sold an Avalanche right now So... you are thinking about it? hehe j/k! Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 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. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author 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
wmkjr Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Aw snap, just when I thought I got what I needed these come out! Quote
Saburo Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 Aw snap, just when I thought I got what I needed these come out! My thoughts exactly, I just got my 29s setup on stands too. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author 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. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 10, 2015 Posted February 10, 2015 For additional support----something like the -25 w/booster's adapter? It plugs into the forearms. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 10, 2015 Author 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. Quote
Saburo Posted February 11, 2015 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
ChaoticYeti Posted February 11, 2015 Author 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. Edited February 11, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 Works very well: This is upside down hanging from the adapter itself, unsupported: Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 11, 2015 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

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

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. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted February 11, 2015 Author Posted February 11, 2015 I have it printing nicely in ABS now. Quote
The Old Man Posted February 11, 2015 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.

Saburo Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) Extreme double decker! That is sweet! I had to get creative and it fits on a Detolf shelf. Edited February 12, 2015 by Saburo Quote
David Hingtgen Posted February 12, 2015 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

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. Quote
