Help with Kickstand for 3ftx6ft Foamcore

[Andre Robinson]

Hello,

can anyone help me with making a Kickstand for a 3ft by 6ft piece of 3/16 Foamcore? I've printed 2 poster and will mount to 3x16 adhesive foamcore. (Tall Standing)

I have two sheets of 4ft x 6ft foamcore and the cardboard they were rapped in. So, each board will have a 2ft by 6ft offcut leftover [and still the cardboard wrapper] I have access to more cardboard. I just don't know what to do with it.

I have a Fletcher 3000 (up to 60 inches; I could score and cut) and a 4x8 table/mat/long rulers.

I could print and cut on top of a template if needed. (If someone has something I could use)

If I need to get something else, I'll get it. I also have a Home Depot, just in case. It's a short term throw away application, if that makes a difference.

Much appreciation,

Andre

This might give you ideas on a DIY version:

Message me if you want strut templates.
You can cut them by hand if you need to.

Here's a cut path for the feet that work for us! At Firesprint we make standees from heavier duty Gatorplast, we can also make them from corrugated plastic as well!

I'd probably use the double for something that size but either can be scaled to any size.

I always use coroplast and just cut one "wall", nothing nearly as fancy
as what this guy has, but he does have a cool system.

Instead of the braces cut into the coro, I would just
hand-cut the coro to shape, put velcro tabs on both sides and
give them a length of velcro so they can adjust how wide apart
they want the supports

Hey, thanks to you all. I like all of those ideas.

This is great. I know this is a bit old but do you put slits on the bottom of the standee so these can interlock?

Will these support 60in tall for 3/16th foam board?

idk if this is a ad post, but here is the answer
Yes, adding slits to the base is a standard method to interlock standees for better stability. For a 60-inch tall standee made from 3/16" foam board, I would strongly recommend a much thicker material like 1/2" for structural integrity. If you are creating a display for sensitive electronics, using a specialized material like Conductive Foam for the internal supports can provide both stability and essential protection from static discharge.

Thanks for the response. These are for one day standee cutouts. I was thinking about doing 1/2in but they are literally being tossed after a 4 hour event so I think these should be ok. Thanks!
