How it fits together

From the base to the vented caps.

The guide includes illustrated assembly steps, a numbered drawing, and a parts list. Here is an overview of the main sections of the stand.

  • Freestanding base

    Two base rails use tee wyes, short tubing sections, and four closed end caps. Two lower uprights connect the base to the lower crossbar.

  • Lower supports and blower

    The lower printed 4-way fitting joins the side supports to the centre upright. A blower adapter connects the axial blower beneath this fitting.

  • Upper crossbar

    A second printed 4-way fitting forms the upper crossbar. Two long elbows turn its outer arms upward, with a third support rising from the centre.

  • Five vented ends

    The drawing places vented end caps on the three upper supports and the two lower side supports. Closed caps finish the four base ends.
