derex3592 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Initial fitting is good. Gonna to tweak and reprint. HELL YES!!! you da freakin man! I'm gonna get another order in for parts soon, and that is for sure gonna be one!!!Edit.......I'd want the Yamato one, as I don't have an sv51 Edited March 5, 2015 by derex3592 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 The peg hole is not that same for the SV-51 adapters and the VF-0D adapters. The OD is hexagonal. The SV-51 adapter will fit, but it is not a hexagon. Quote
anubis20 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Ha. Your order is mostly boxed up. I just need to print a GBP adapter. PM me if you want to add a VF-0D adapter. Did mine ship out already? I would also like to add one of those new adapters Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 Did mine ship out already? I would also like to add one of those new adapters Your order went out this morning. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I guess I'm confused as to the question then...or I'm tired and reading comprehension is shot. oh and I dont have my freakin 0D yet!!! Quote

derex3592 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Working really well. I printed one out with the Yamato tab. Is this the preferable option for people? I do not want to confuse people by having multiple options for a single adapter, so I would like to stick with one. Quote
wmkjr Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) If you got extra Yamato adapters lying around then this would be the way to go for fighter. However, the Arcadia female adapter can be used to rotate the valk so no need for banking/standing Yamato adapters correct? Just the male hex adapter plus this. Also I didn't think about Gerwalk and Battroid modes. They'll need the male hex adapter so as much as I would want the Yamato I'd say for the sake of not confusing the orders go with the Arcadia female hex. Sorry for asking if you could do this. Didn't mean to waste your time although I would be interested in purchasing those prototypes if you're not gonna use them Baby blue needs a new adapter: Edited March 5, 2015 by wmkjr Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) That is a killer pic. Edit: That was why I am leaning towards the hex hole vs yamato tab. Edited March 5, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote

derex3592 Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I just want my 0D on a YetiStand with your new fighter holder. I don't want to have to use that abomination that Arcadia packed with the Valk. So whatever I need to make that happen. :-) Quote
lancalot Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Wow that an awesome vf0 squad wmkjr!!! nice pic Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Ok....Spent 15 minutes checking tolerences with the SV-51 adapter. I am going to kill 3 birds with one stone. The SV-51, 0D banking, and 0D standing adapters are now this one adapter: New store link here Edited March 5, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
wmkjr Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 Glad you guys liked the pics. That's awesome Yeti that you could consolidate and figure out a solution. Will be putting in an order shortly. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 5, 2015 Author Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) Arcadia VF-0D Fighter adapter available here It should be compatible with any other stand that the included adapters would be compatible with. Edit: Elbows should be back in stock tomorrow. Edited March 5, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote

Guest davidwhangchoi Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 (edited) i need one but prob need to check what additional adapters i already brought sitting in my yeti stand shipping box. (i need to get a hex wrench) Edited March 5, 2015 by davidwhangchoi Quote

(i need to get a hex wrench) I do not know how strong your hands are, but I can get away with hand tightening the stands down for the most part. Always good to go back with tools, but you seem to be without them Quote

SuperSenpai Posted March 5, 2015 Posted March 5, 2015 I seem to have an endless supply of hex wrenches in all shapes and sizes. I think it's from years of buying Ikea furniture. Quote
bbrain Posted March 6, 2015 Posted March 6, 2015 Yes, that might have to be a compromise. Could you give me L x W x H of the straight section on the gunpod grip? I am going to move onto gerwalk. Fighter adapter is solid. WOW! Brilliant stuff man Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 7, 2015 Author Posted March 7, 2015 Thanks! It was a fun one to make. I appreciate the loaner. Update: looks like no elbows today, and tracking hasn't updated. Quote
derex3592 Posted March 7, 2015 Posted March 7, 2015 (edited) Gonna put an order in today, hopefully elbows will show up soon. Edited March 7, 2015 by derex3592 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 8, 2015 Author Posted March 8, 2015 Still no updated tracking on elbows. Stuck in Oakland CA. Quote
anubis20 Posted March 8, 2015 Posted March 8, 2015 Still no updated tracking on elbows. Stuck in Oakland CA. USPS is sucking big time as of lately. I still haven't received the items you sent me on Tuesday. They're still stuck in St Paul. Quote

derex3592 Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 That is so boss. Can't wait for mine to get here. Quote
cdidio Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yeah I can confess to asking if there was a trick to it, my valks shoulders were pinned down all the way, fresh out of the box, and I needed to bring them up parallel to the arms, thanks Yeti! (Yes I realize all of the inaccuracies with the reactive armor build, its a WIP ) Quote

(Yes I realize all of the inaccuracies with the reactive armor build, its a WIP ) oh yeah! I love that armored Zero in the background! model kit I presume!? what scale would that be! And you new Zero looks great in that pose too! Quote
cdidio Posted March 10, 2015 Posted March 10, 2015 Yup that's the 1/72 hasegawa kit, love the samurai look to the armor! Seems like that might be in Arcadia's plans, hope so Quote
SuperSenpai Posted March 11, 2015 Posted March 11, 2015 I've been playing around with my Yetistands for a bit, trying some things out and putting them in different configurations. So here are a few thoughts and things I've noticed. 1) Has anyone else noticed that the rubber feet have a tendency to "stick" to glass surfaces, such as Detolf shelves? I've had a single DX renewal mounted on a Yetistand for a couple of months, and the other day I went to take it out and noticed the feet were pretty well stuck to the glass. I think it was a combination of the natural properties of the rubber combined with the weight of the toy and stand parts. I actually had to pull a bit to get it unstuck. It's probably a good thing to be aware of -- if you need to remove your stand from a glass surface, you might want to remove the toy(s) from their mount points first to prevent a situation where you pull too hard and fling the toy off the stand or into the surrounding walls. 2) Clear acrylic is a great choice because it provides the illusion that your jets are flying. However, in practice I'm finding that a couple of things take away from that illusion. The first is the big black adapters that Bandai provides. Yeti, I know that's not your fault, but is there any way to produce an alternative adapter that is made from some kind of clear material? Does 3D printing allow for that, or do you have to do laser cut acrylic? The second thing is the use of black rubber washers and the dark colored screws. I don't know if the rubber washers come in a lighter color (I'm guessing not), but a lighter finish on the screws would definitely help. The Flightpose stands use a silvery finish, and they blend in quite well with the clear material. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted March 11, 2015 Author Posted March 11, 2015 (edited) Interesting feedback on the feet. Not sure if anything can be done. Is it an issue, or just something to be mindful of? The type of 3d printing I am set up for does not allow me to print clear. I know shapeways has a frosted material, but I believe it is too brittle to be used for printing my adapters. I generally went with black ABS for the Bandai adapters, and gray/silver for the Yamato ones. The bandai adapters that come with their releases are black, and typically the Yamato's came with some shade of gray for their adapters. I am open to suggestion if people prefer one color over another. As for hardware, I am looking into it: Edited March 11, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
