Build a Knex GBA Game Stand

Build a Knex GBA Game Stand
Are you like me? Do you have more Gameboy Advance games than you know what to do with? Do you want to try your best to keep these games in good shape? Do you have Knex? Are you Bored?!

Maybe this is a good idea for you!

This relatively simple Knex Game Stand is able to hold 22 games, and can hold more or less depending on how you want to make it.

Overall building time should only take 30 mins to an hour depending on your building skill.

(This is my first instructable, please keep that in mind)

Step 1Materials

The materials list for this stand can alter, depending on how many games you want your stand to hold, and your parts available.

My Stand Contains:

-x84    90 degree connectors (in grey/red)
-x12   135 degree connectors (in green)
-x4      180 degree connectors (in grey)
-x2      small blue rod endings
-x44   grey rod spacers

-x5     190mm rods (in grey)
-x14    32mm rods (in grey)
-x84    16mm rods (in black)

The Following Can be Substituted:

-x24 90 degree connectors can be substituted for 24 clips with holed ends (in grey) on the spacers
-All 135 degree connectors can be substituted for 90 degree connectors
-190mm rods can be replaced by any size to either increase or decrease the stand's length (Doing this would also reduce the necessary connectors and rods)
-Blue rod endings can be replaced by clips with holed ends, or anything that holds a connector closed

Your kidding right... The GBA has some of my favorite games on it, and I don't feel like paying more to have them put on the 3ds, or ipod.
Not to mention this is usefull for organized storage of my games vs having them in a pile or bag.

Collecting and owning several gameboy's:

2 Pockets
2 GBA
3 GBA SP's
1 Color

Everyone has his/hers own opinion about every topic and "You are a loser" ain't gonna change it...some of us retro game, some of us are into new-gens. I consider myself a retrogamer and feel offended by your childish "you are a loser" kindergarten tomfoolery. If you'd like to argue with that, please find some better arguments that "yes i am right" and "you are a loser", cause that's not gonna take you far in life ;). You have shown offensive behaviour and should be banished...

I totally agree with you. I still love my GBA way more than my DSi, and honestly play it about twice as much.
