spanner Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) I can see it now.. breaking news! wall collapses after man mounts entire Macross Valkyrie collection to his apartment wall! hehe! Edited November 2, 2015 by spanner76 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 (edited) Hahaha. Standard dry wall mounting precautions apply. After all, this isn't... Edited November 2, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 2, 2015 Author Posted November 2, 2015 Requested Arcadia stand adapter. Works great. Gonna make a few cosmetic changes. I will put it up on the webstore when it is ready. Quote
cmal Posted November 2, 2015 Posted November 2, 2015 Ha! That's pretty fantastic. Thanks for looking into it. Quote

Jefuemon Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 mickyg requested some adapters be made for models that have been modified to hold brass rod. http://www.scalespot.com/reference/stands/stand.htm Hmmmm, that might work for the Yukikaze kits I asked you about earlier. Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 It's got me thinking I should make a slew of peg and hole sizes. Any suggestions? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) Still holding. I have three 3x setups mounted. I did a 'lineage' type display. Three different valks, three different modes. I giggled when I saw the VF-19 was stable with two elbows. Edited November 5, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
mickyg Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 (edited) For people who rent, I have an idea: mount the base to a small piece of wood (think of it as a plaque) and then 3M command adhesive the wood to the wall. The plaque can be thin and as small as necessary to spread the load and give enough surface for the adhesives to grip properly. Although perhaps with that arrangement, you may as well adhesive mount a standard Yeti Stand to the wall instead. Edited November 5, 2015 by mickyg Quote

Just seems....unnatural. I would have to recommend that the mounts be mounted into the studs, or with the provided anchors. Quote
jenius Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 I feel like I would have to find a good way to make an enclosure. Quote
spanner Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 you could easily make up a Lexan or plexiglass box which could hook up over a few sets of wall mounted Valks! sorry diagram is a bit rough but you get the idea! Quote
mickyg Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 That would look very, very nice!Yeah, I wouldn't want to vouch for something using adhesive either, but that's because it's so variable and totally out of your ability to control. There's wall surface detail to deal with, paint application, cleanliness, to name but a few. And then there's also the fact that the weight is located quite far away from the point of contact with the wall, with the resulting lever action acting on the mount in a much different way to what a traditional weight on a mounting hook would entail. Yeah, without a doubt, anchoring to a stud is much safer. But I'm still tempted to try something with a safety mechanism to catch anything that might fall... Quote

spanner Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 just place bean bags or pillows directly below you wall mounted displays! hehe! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 sorry diagram is a bit rough 20151106_083407.jpg Rough, he says. Quote
spanner Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Rough, he says. are you making fun of my crappy diagram!? Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 5, 2015 Author Posted November 5, 2015 are you making fun of my crappy diagram!? This a funny forum. If that counts as rough, I am with kin. It was a jab at your modesty. Quote
Silverstreak Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Haven't been in here for a while. Some great developments have been happening!!! With the wall mounts, something to consider is if they are clear, then you will be able to see the mounting plugs/holes underneath. It might be worth, if you are thinking of buying these, to do some research on the mounting solution prior. You would also have to be pretty neat drilling your holes. Keep up the good work Yeti! Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 6, 2015 Author Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) The mounting hardware I am supplying requires no drilling for dry wall installation. They wouldn't have to be clear either. Hell, none of the YetiStand stuff has to be clear anymore. It will all be made to order, and offering colors will most likely be an option asking with the custom laser engraving.

Scyla Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 (edited) Have you thought about gluing the wall mount piece to the inside of Detolf cabinet? There the fall height wouldn't be as high as on walls of a room. You could even create a mount that attaches to the glass floors of the cabinet. Basically like a glove that wraps around the glass floors maybe with some rubber inlets so it is secured firmly to the floor.Something like that: So you could use the space for the walls and ceilings a bit better.[edit:] the attachment for the arms should be either on the top or the bottom to work properly. [edit2:] Since pixel art doesn't suffice my artistic needs I added a picture of the idea. Edited November 9, 2015 by Scyla Quote

This is very doable. I don't have any detolfs. What is thickness of the shelf? Yeti, let me know when these are ready for primetime so I can put my order in. Thanks. I have been swamped with work. I'll take another pass at the model this weekend, and post progress. Quote

I can measure the detolf shelf when I get home. Quote
mickyg Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The shelves are very close to 4mm (3.88) and sides are 4.75mm. For my example, at least. Quote

hal9000 Posted November 27, 2015 Posted November 27, 2015 (edited) I certainly wasn't going shopping today so what better time to get an idea out of my head:)FYI don't try and drill the IKEA glass it's tempered. Edit, I fixed the orientation. Edited November 28, 2015 by hal9000 Quote
ChaoticYeti Posted November 28, 2015 Author Posted November 28, 2015 (edited) Oh, wow. Is your picture sideways? Either way, that's pretty cool. There are special drill bits for glass, tempered it otherwise. Be very careful. Looks great, though! Thanks for sharing. Edited November 28, 2015 by ChaoticYeti Quote
