Just subscribed. Best custom display on KZbin! I've casually been looking for a display for a few years and seriously been looking for one for 3 weeks and nothing beats this one. In addition, too many collectors go black. Even some of the most popular content creators, but white is the way to go. You can't see much of the detail in black. This even rivals Modu Case. I want to test using clear acrylic corner moldings. 2 even, for each of the front pillars for added support. This way the pillars don't get on the way of the figures. Thanks man!! You did it.

My Darth Vader figure pops better with the white. I'd be interested to see how the corner moldings turn out. I'm enjoying how people are customizing the display further to make it their own.

Thanks for sharing. I'm a bit of a Lego junky and a few years ago I purchased a couple of PAX units and shelves to display some of my collection. Problem I ran into is that this is in my home office space and I have multiple computers and a ceiling fan on 24x7 and now have a dog in the house so dust and hair are a huge problem. I've been trying to figure out a way to close off the units and I think with some modifications I could implement this on the PAX units. Your lighting instructions are certainly something I'm going to have to look into implementing as well. I might even look into swapping a few of the wooden shelves with some acrylic ones too. Thanks again for sharing these videos; you really got the creative juices flowing on how to take my displays to the next level!

Thanks for watching! You could definitely do this with a PAX. It would be real easy. You could use metal tape and tape the edges of the PAX with it and use the magnets on the acrylic and attach it that way. My hanging display case video talks about metal tape a bit and might give you an idea or two.

Really brilliant idea! I like it. During the "pandemic" I was needing some of the clear acrylic sheets for a project. (not making a display rack). Couldn't find it anywhere locally! Where did it all go? Thats when I began noticing business's, doctors, banks, etc were using the stuff as a barrier between the clerks and public! I now wonder how much of the stuff has gone to store rooms and dumpsters! 😫 This stuff is ex.......pen.........sive!!!!!

I've debated for awhile to give my feedback here. So far i've built two cabinets. The first Cabinet was done almost identical to this one, a 24" x 48" muscle rack. Second Cabinet was a 18" x 36" botless design (All i had room for). I applied a different technique building the second cabinet after doing the first cabinet. Here are my problems with the first Cabinet. 1) I didn't like the lighting bars, I returned them, and bought LED Strips. Was cheaper in the end, and I have it with a controller now, it took more work because I LED stripped 3 layers, and soldered wires to the strips to connect them together, the otherall look, is much nicer for me. 2) After the first day of putting up the acrylic, I already had torn edges of the vinyl tape, and I really didn't like the vinyl tape in the first place, because of the overlapped corners of tape. 3) The Magnet Tape. I didn't think this was strong enough to begin with, and after sometime the magnet tape pulled off the acrylic panels and became an annoyance. panels would fall off in the middle of the night. 4) The Cabinet, I hated the expoded rivets, and the post connector. It didn't sit flush with the foam tape, and I could visibly see the gaps. 5) I hated the fabric design on the shelves, and I hated that I had to cut the corners, with the new LEDs and the soldered wire I didn't have to cut the corners at all, it fed through the gap just fine. 6) The backing... please look ahead at his further videos, the PVC boards was an amazing change to these. What I did to improve this Cabinet. 1) For the Acrylic vinyl tape, I just put a dab of glue on the edge, and folded the torn piece back, you can notice it still but its fine. 2) I purchased on Amazon Double Sided Tape Heavy Duty, this stuff is a bit more expensive, but the adhesion on it works great. My magnets don't pull off the acrylic anymore, and I did originally follow the doubling up of Magnet tape originally, I think this extra lift from the double sided heavy duty tape makes a better seal to the cabinet with the thickness of this foam. 3) Changing the LEDs to strips, instead of those bars, lets me not cut the corners of the wood. 4) I painted the wood instead of using fabric, looks better. 6) I originally used black acrylic panels for the backing, using the PVC boards is 10/10 suggestion he gives in a future video. To my smaller cabinet, second attempt. I did things differently, and I absolutely love the cabinet and how it turned out. I put more elbow grease into it though. 1) I wanted to avoid rivets and the post connector. I went with the boltless design. it looks much cleaner, and there is more surface area for the magnets to grab to. 2) I decided to change magnets. No longer using magnet tape, but using magnet bars. When you take two magnet tape and stack as shown in this video, you get close to 3mm, technically 3.1mm, so i purchased 3mm magnet bars. I put behind it Gorilla Tape Adhesive, the strong 50lbs tape, and cut out the appropriate size for each bar. This gave it some height, but this tape is super strong. The magnet bars are also really strong as well. With using full open cell foam (like used in these cabinets, without cutting in half) it makes a strong, secure seal to the cabinet now. 3) I hated the vinyl tape, and here is what took forever. I got my acrylic cheap, and my place charges 1 price for as many cuts as I want with the acrylic I purchased, so each shelf had cut acrylic, front and side panels. I started from the bottom worked my way up, and made measurements with the film still on. I marked all the edges of the cabinet. With that, I took a straight edge and made my lines, cut the lines, and peeled the film on the edges. The edges then were spray painted with Krylon spray paint black. This looks amazing. I use the back side of the panel to show outwords, and the side that is painted has my foam, and magnets. So the spray job doesn't have to be pretty because what is layed down is pretty perfect on the underside when looking at it. This makes my cabinet look way more professionally done. 4) to seal off the top and bottom i'm using 10mm crafting foam, and the double sided tape I used to repair my first cabinet to hold it on. With using a boltless frame the frame sticks out a little further than the shelving bar, so there is a noticable gap. This crafting foam is 10mm thick, closed cell foam, pretty dense stuff, but it seals in the panels nicely. 5) I again used LED strips, I have it on a KASA outlet, so I can turn it on or off from google home/my phone app. 6) I used the pvc backing again, as suggested, great suggestion, as you can slide it behind the laimnate shelving, and add a thin stirp of magnet tape to the edges. 7) The boltless had laminated shelving, 10/10 better than the wood shelving, and modifying plain wood shelving with fabric or painting. I have not done floating shelves yet, and I plan to do it with the botless design which may come into some troubles with tightening the Aluminum bars.

I purchased the same you have, only difference is my side panels are in 3 sections, just the way it worked out, had it cut in store.

If you don't they will be in the wrong spot and you'll have to redo it. I'm too much of a perfectionist and they never ended up being in the right spot. It ended up being easier for me to measure things from the top. By no means am I saying you shouldn't try it yourself because it might work for you. Thank you so much for watching and thanks for your suggestion!

@@PopCultureLivingRoom my other tip from related projects is to only peel the far ends (like the last ½ inch) of the sticky side, and fold the paper over. This will let it stick but can be removed by pulling from the middle until you're lined up perfectly, then pinch the folded paper and pull back slowly at a shallow angle as you press the strip down and it should keep itself aligned.

Thanks for watching Josh! As for the acrylic staying magnetized to the shelf, I have had no issues so far. They have been staying on great. I am in the middle of making an update video and in the video I will be suggesting using acrylic weld which will adhere the magnetic tape to the acrylic better. I have one or 2 strips that, when I remove the panel, the magnetic tape sticks to the shelf and comes off of the acrylic. As for a full sheet holding, I am not sure because you will have less magnetic tape used which would decrease the hold. You may need wider magnetic tape to have more surface area to cling on to. Another option might be going with a thinner front acrylic which will make it a bit lighter.

Good morning! The open cell foam is 1/4" thick. It's this thick to rise above the magnetic tape and then when you attach it to the frame the foam compresses and will contour over any bump or irregular part of the frame. One thing I would highly recommend is to use the magnetic tape I use on my display. I tested several types of magnetic tape in this by far is the strongest.

Thanks for watching! I use the open cell foam for its ability to compress. The foam will come above the magnetic tape so when you put it on the frame it will compress down and conform to any ridge or protrusion created by the brackets and rivets. Closed cell foam is too rigid and does not work. If the frame didn't have these brackets and rivets, you wouldn't need the foam as all you would need to do is put a continuous piece of magnetic tape on each side. Hope this helped.

Thanks so much for watching! If you're talking about thickness, for the side panels you could do 2mm and the front panels I'd go 3mm.

Brother, I want to ask how thick the acrylic board is?
@PopCultureLivingRoom
@PopCultureLivingRoom Жыл бұрын
The clear acrylic on the sides is 1/16 of an inch thick. The clear acrylic on the front of the display is 3/32 of an inch thick. The clear acrylic shelf is 1/2 inch thick. Thanks so much for watching! Really appreciate it.

Wow. Where I'm at that is the cost of all the Acrylic needed for the build. Acrylic prices because of the pandemic are just crazy still. I'm hoping we see a decrease over the next 6 months or so.

Acrylic sheet thickness... now that you have had the units for a while, would you still use 1/16" for the sides and 3/32" for the front?
@PopCultureLivingRoom
@PopCultureLivingRoom Жыл бұрын
Yes. I never take the side panels off so the thickness doesn't matter. The 1/16 looks great and it's cheaper. You can always do 3/32 sides but you'll pay more for minimal benefit. In the front I would not go lower than 3/32. Having the slight more thickness gives the acrylic a little more rigidity so they're not super flimsy feeling when you take them off. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

Hi John! It's not electrical tape. It's a premium tape. It's thicker and used for safety marking. Thanks for watching!

Tip for anyone doing this - make sure the depth of your staples is less than the thickness of the wood shelves. Don’t ask me how I know lol

I see a lot of people wowed by this, but it is literally tape around the edges and it looks like it. There has to be a better option, like plastic framing or even wood or better yet some aluminum painted black
@PopCultureLivingRoom
@PopCultureLivingRoom Жыл бұрын
Yep. It's taped around edges and it works extremely well. Especially as a DIY. This looks no different then the front of the Moducase. My videos are meant to be a guide and you can do whatever you want. A lot of those that have built this case have made modifications to their liking and you can to. I appreciate your opinion and thank you for watching!
