7U Joiner plates as a stand for ONE 7u 104hp case?

Here are the photos.

That is the Heli 2 acoustic guitar stand by K&M.
It‘s sturdy and works beautifully at different angles.
Most of it is rubberized so it won‘t scratch the case.

Using the joiner plates does not work to keep a case upright. As you can see the case leans forward and it WILL topple over with the slightest touch to the back.
You could choose to put something underneath the front stubs to bring the case up to a right angle or even further back, of course.

Lastly, a photo with the Heli 2 supporting the Novation Peak. Nice!

K&M makes great stuff. That stand looks like a good solution! I think I can see that it’s possible to adjust the angle? How much does that guy cost? Looks like a good pairing with the Peak too…

The base has enough space so you can choose between the angles shown and everything inbetween.

They cost around €18,- in Europe. Not as stylish as the €150,- Make Noise stands, but (almost) just as functional.

Thnaks Mike, that is reallyyy helpful. And funny enough I was going to get that exact same guitar stand! It has those little sticky edges on the front but they shouldn’t mess much with patch points and knobs from what I see in your pictures.

And thanks for testing the joiner plates. I was thinking of using them with the case in reverse (from your pictures), with modules facing the other way. But it is not stable I see now. Maybe intellijel gets an idea for different plates to make it stand firmly. It is an elegant solution.

Mike, could you please tell me whether when you use the K&M stand in the pictures is the intellijel case steasy? As you for example patch something (push in) into the upper left and right modules in the case does it wiggle or is it solidly steady? I ask because it only has the upper support in the middle when tilted all the way to the front.
Thanks.

You cannot use the joiner plates in reverse. They only attach to the case in one specific way. And the case would be totally unstable, anyway.

I agree that it would be elegant if Intellijel made a version of those plates specifically to set up a single case.

I‘ll test the stability of a case in the guitar stand later today and report back.

Hi, did tou have the chance to test the atability of the K&M? Thanks.

Sorry, not yet. Was too busy.
I‘ll post here my findings once I‘ve checked.

Intellijel, are you listening? :slight_smile: It would be elegant and simple to do I think. It would keep the case upright, and would take very little space anywhere.

I got the k&m stand and can confirm it works alright. But again, uses a lot of space still.

Great, thanks! :slight_smile:

The K&M stand can be silghtly wobbly when patching in the upper corners, but I don’t see it as a problem at all.
Just buy one. It’s cheap enough to warrant the experiment.

Yes, I got it and it works. But a shallower alternative like the one mentioned above would be preferred. Thanks again for taking the time to reply.

I Have to measure the electric K&M guitar stand, but I think it is just a bit too narrow for the case.

I may also try to buy the joiner plates and put some wood blocks or something underneath those sharp edges to raise the stand. Do you reckon that could work Mike?

I’ve been wondering about 3D printing some feet for my case. They would slot into the joiner case slots on the case and of course it could be any angle I wanted.

Could someone with a set of joiner plates provide dimensions ?

Hey! I know that this has been a few days but I was looking for the same thing and decided to try and make feet for my case. I used a picture of the joiner brackets to create my own. Here is a link to the item on Thingiverse:

Let me know if this is helpful. I wouldn’t mind giving you the original files for Fusion 360 if it would help.

I would love this too. I have the joiners that I’m currently using with my 2 cases. The joiners put the top case at the ideal height and angle for me, but I’m not really super thrilled with the bottom case for my purposes. I’ve sometimes used two guitar stands, but they really use too much depth and I’m really at a premium for depth in my setup.

Would love some nice pieces that would give me the position of the top case with the joiners, but all on its own. I’d buy two!

Apologies for the necrobump, but this finally exists: I made them and they are called Finnes

I’m not here to spam links or anything, but they are searchable if you use keywords Finnes and Intellijel

I’ve been lurking this thread for years waiting for it to come to fruition, but in then end, sometimes you have to do it yourself :slight_smile:
