No3Ljm: my favorite scene in Zero! Lolicon: get one asap then! They are rarer and rarer nowadays. Expand yes the yetistand is an option but I think I have come up with a simple fishing line solution. I will need to have the Valkyrie's landing gear extended for it to work and I cut up some small brackets out of thin strips of aluminum with a small hole to thread the fishing line through at either end. I figure I'll only need one length of line which will hook around the Valkyrie and hold it nicely in place! I'll post some pics when I get one setup. I might even be able to use some composite sheeting we have at work too! It is a bit thicker but its a much nicer cleaner finished material and being white in color will blend in the background a lot better. Though its a bit trickier to bend into shape without damaging. Still an option to consider. Quote
Xigfrid Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 That gave me an idea of a clamp ... I will put it on shapeways soon! Quote
spanner Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) that looks great! Sadly I don't have any design software or a 3d printer so my idea was somewhat less elegant.. hope you can understand my shoddy design drawing! LOL! clearly this is just a rough plan as the proportions aren't quite how they would need to be.. but you can get the general idea. Edited March 7, 2017 by spanner Quote
Xigfrid Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 I totally got your design, except that I don't understand why the part would be that long. The more I think about it, the more I am convinced that IKEA probably have some kind of plastic clamp similar to the one I designed, then just adding a hole into the clamp and it would be done. Cheap! my design ended at 14$ the 4 parts, not really cheap Quote
Xigfrid Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Err! Just found that, in white it could be helpful! It is called something like double clip for frame painting. Quote
HardlyNever Posted March 7, 2017 Posted March 7, 2017 Since the thread has taken a bit of a shelf detour, I've been wondering what people's experiences have been with weight issues. Ikea lists the Detolf shelf max load at about 8 pounds. Has anyone ever gone much beyond that, especially long term? I don't think I have 8 pounds on any of my shelves yet, but with display stands etc. and trying to push maximum shelf space, I could see how running up to that 8 pound limit could be an issue. Quote
