akteon Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Yeti did you get a Glowforge per chance? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 27, 2015 Author Posted October 27, 2015 Yes, I did. Not sure where I fall in queue. I ordered about half way through their campaign. Quote
akteon Posted October 27, 2015 Posted October 27, 2015 Congrats. I was looking at them a week or so back, as cool as they are I just couldn't justify the price since it'd just be a toy for me. I could definitely see you putting one to work though. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 28, 2015 Author Posted October 28, 2015 I have been looking at laser cutters for awhile. Glowforge looks like the smartest laser cutter out there. The price is more than competitive too, when compared to what a traditional laser cutter offers. It is worth a shot. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) Added a new item to the webstore. http://www.yetistand.com/product/75060-ucs-slave-i-wall-mount There was talk about people wanting to use the pegged base of the YetiStand as a wall mount for their valks. Has anyone down this? Do people want a specific base for wall mounting similar to the slave one mount, but with a YetiStand pivot on it? Edit: Like this Edited October 30, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote

no3Ljm Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) I LIKE! As long that it's stable and sturdy that's the one I'm going to invest. Been thinking about that before. But not sure if it's doable. But seeing it can be done. I'm going to save now for YetiStands. Imagining now all my Red Black Valks in formation. Edited October 30, 2015 by no3ljm Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 It's holding up really well. I used the xl arm to stress out the cantilever forces in the pivot point. I'll wait a bit before I start offering it. See how it holds things over a few days. Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Hey Yeti. Thanks for this. But this is just advisable on one Valk per mount, correct? Thanks! Hahaha. Hmmm. I'll put a few on this evening and see how it goes. Seeing as to how well the wall pivot works now, even with the PG gundam and Lego sets, I would think it would work as long as you have the weight of multiples closer to the pivot. I'll try some things out later. Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 I have high confidence in what I have come up with so far, and if it fails while testing I am the only one to blame. Iterate and try again Quote
no3Ljm Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Thanks Yeti! You love to see every Valk in this flight position. With that XL arm clearance, we can post it in Gerwalk as well, correct? Quote

EXO Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Get ready to make adapters for the 1/35 VF-1J! Those wall stands are so cool. But I'm afraid my wall will look like Sonny Corleone sitting at a toll booth by the time I put up my collection. Quote
treatment Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Can you or have you done the Launch-Arm style , yet? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Can you or have you done the Launch-Arm style , yet? Holding the valk from the top? You know.... I actually have been working on a launch arm that would work in concert with the YetiStand. It goes on a knuckle or dual arm along with your valk of choice and can be posed to look like it is holding or releasing the valk. I haven't touched it in few weeks, but it is pretty sweet. Quote
wmkjr Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) OMG! I can see my whole room converted into a huge Macross diorama with valks swishing all over the place from the roof and the walls! Need those effects parts like in the Frontier display ASAP! Need to paint one wall daylight sky ,one wall dusk/dawn, one wall and roof space themed with starlights.

anubis20 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 Wait, the clear dual arm is back in stock? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 Wait, the clear dual arm is back in stock? Yeah, I found 1. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 30, 2015 Author Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) 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. Edited October 30, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
Pedro2k6 Posted October 30, 2015 Posted October 30, 2015 (edited) That's look great....no more detolf...just 10 or 20 of that in the wall covered with 1 big acrylic box glue to the wall. Sorry my mind just have a sugar rush. Something like this. Edited October 30, 2015 by Pedro2k6 Quote

ChaoticYeti Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 Just got back from running errands and dinner. The arms haven't moved at all. I am going to confidently leave the valks on overnight. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 Hmmm... It could be a made out of acrylic. I'll print one like this out and see how well it bends. Quote
spanner Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Been a fun morning. wow! that is an epic idea Yeit! Love it! What kind of fixtures did you use in the wall? Anchors or those plastic dry wall screw things..? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 75 lbs rated E-Z Anchors. My favorite. Quote
Moosey Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 Yeti, that is fantastic. I would definitely buy some, I just need to buy a house that has a room where only i call the shots on fixtures and fittings!! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted October 31, 2015 Author Posted October 31, 2015 That is awesome Yeti! Thanks! Yeti, that is fantastic. I would definitely buy some, I just need to buy a house that has a room where only i call the shots on fixtures and fittings!! Appreciated. This is definitely man-cave material. People can still bump into them, and kids could still grab them. I am positive that this could be done in acrylic. Here is a test I just did in PLA plastic. Much better profile, and would be even better as clear acrylic. Quote
spanner Posted October 31, 2015 Posted October 31, 2015 75 lbs rated E-Z Anchors. My favorite. oh! definitely more than enough load rating! Quote
