YetiStand Alpha.

[ChaoticYeti]

You guys have it right. I made it by request.

[derex3592]

I believe I was one of the early ones that suggested Yeti make these, I like to see the gun barrels poking through! The work and look great!

LOVE Yukikaze!

Here are the shots from 2015 I had sent yeti when using the factory adapter with yetistand and a super/strike VF-1.

[Lolicon]

Any chance of there being an improved VF-17 adapter? The Yamato adapter is ridiculously far forward from the center of weight.

[ChaoticYeti]

I will look again. As I recall, the belly of the 17 is pretty flush.

[ChaoticYeti]

Yeah, pretty flush. I might be able to get something around the legs. I'll let you know.

[Lolicon]

Holy sh**! That is amazing! Looks way better than the Yamato adapter!

[ChaoticYeti]

I often scratch my head at the terrible placement they come up with.

[Xigfrid]

Hey ChaoticYeti, I am having trouble securing the VF-0 stand adapter. It seems to not hold securely on the "shoulder" portions. Can you post a picture of a VF-0 belly with the adapter mounted ?

[ChaoticYeti]

Don't mind the duo-tone adapter. I keep the flunkies, and this batch ran out of black filament towards the end.

[Xigfrid]

Thank you! I was half tightening the arms, that was why the adapter was going loose.

I put back the 0D on the stand ... man this bird is so imposing and beautiful!

[derex3592]

Liking the 17 adapter!!!

[ChaoticYeti]

Thanks! I am going to look at again later this week. Should be up on the webstore within the near future.

[ChaoticYeti]

Pretty neat having them on a stand together. Man, the 171 has a fiddly transformation. Now I remember why I had left it in battroid .

[Lolicon]

Damn now you're making me want to rearrange my current setup so my 17 and 171 are on the same stand.

Or maybe I'll finally pick up a 17D...

[AndrewB]

Wanted to say that I have a few of these now, and they have worked well for both 1/60 and 1/48 VF-1 toys. You just have to pay attention to the center of mass on the big 1/48s.

oh my!

[General Rasp]

OH that is awesome! Thanks Yeti!

Itching to use the CODE... But the Alpha stand is sold out. Any idea on when more will become available?

They are currently sold out, and I am trying really hard to NOT order more from the vendor. I am expecting my laser cutter to arrive in late December. There have always been issues with the thicker 9mm acrylic cut from my vendor. Quite a bit of wasted product, and I end up paying for most of it. Might I ask what you would like to display on a YetiStand? The Beta's work quite well, and I have those in stock.

Beat me to it, was planniing to get 2 more sigh

[Eslim109]

Maybe Yeti can extend his holiday promotion code so that we can use it when more Alphas come in stock after he gets his equipment in Dec?

Looking to do this identical base setup(see below) Except with 1 Arcadia VF and two Bandai DXs. following that recipe with the elbows and the arms. Dont think this would work on the Beta as the connection point for that is offset, kinda wanting the center mounted look as well.

I apologize for any inconvenience, but even if you waited until after the sale it will be worth it to get Alpha's cut by me vs me ordering more now.

That image you posted with the valks you are wanting to display makes sense for an Alpha.

[ayaxr]

Yeah a bit bummed, with all the extra bits and pieces I'm planning to get the 20% off is substantial.

BTW thanks for making the MG Gundam adapter available.

I received an email this morning stating the laser cutter will be delayed another 6 months. This is the third such delay. I have canceled my order with glowforge.

I am looking into alternatives.

I will look into ordering another batch of Alpha's.

[mickyg]

Bummer, man. I totally understand though. Any word on why such delays?

[ChaoticYeti]

Glowforge forums are ablaze. Glowforge isn't being very clear as to why the sudden need for another lengthy delay. Lots of apologizes, but they had "we are on track" statements the week of Thanksgiving. If they were ramping up to deliver 1,000's of units by the end of December, they would have known about this most recent delay awhile ago. I have lost faith in it.

[wmkjr]

That's sucks to hear. If you went with one of the big companies instead of a glowforge pro I wonder if you would've recoup your investment costs by now? How long has it been 2+years now?

Maybe something like this?

I would have been better off buying a Made in China laser cutter from eBay at this point.

I'll look at the link. Thank you.

[ChaoticYeti]

This seems pretty shady:

"Hello,

I have never posted on the forum, but I was sent this shortly after canceling my pre-order with them. I suppose they don't want people to see how many others are canceling. Can't post or comment.

That's very interesting. Do they have your "buyers account" somehow linked to your forum membership? That seems shady indeed.
