User focusrs bought a couple of medallions off me and made a little vid of installing it. He posted it on youtube & posted a link in the market place area so I have copied it to here, so I can post a reply (you can’t ‘reply’ to a post in the market place) and say thanks to him for making and posting a vid, may all your scores be high ones.

That was an error. It should now fixed. 🙂

I didn’t know about these when I fixed my stands; I just used two screws, and cut four slots to form two “stop tabs”. Bending the tabs up makes a very solid “stop” — that was the problem with the old hub, the plastic wasn’t strong enough to stop the legs from expanding. Tapped the base-plate with an 8-32 thread (and used lock nuts too); had to bend the leg ends into more of a circle (which makes them incompatible with your new hub).

I considered making a wax mold for the old hub, then pressing in black epoxy-putty, then pressing the wax mold & putty over it to re-create the hub. Opening & closing the legs a couple of times before the putty hardened would create a perfect space.

$11.20, I might still order one; think you’d take cash? (It’d have to be $11 or $12, I don’t wanna send coins…)

Hey does anyone have a BROKEN original “stand medallion” they’d be willing to part with cheap? I don’t seem to have enough pieces to try my experiment.

Much appreciated in advance!

🙂

Broken link… could we delete this thread or fix the link?

I would take cash but its not really safe to send.
The cost is actually in British pounds (£) so its more like $17.70 to the US
I could always use some eShop credit for my US 3DS, not sure on card denominations but if you are up for getting the code, email it to me, once it goes into my 3DS I’ll ship the medallion.
Send me a pm if you are interested 🙂
