Does anyone have the Plank Mini? I've just purchased and need some direction with assembly YT has a few Plank videos but its not helping with this application. Thanks
 
Anything in particular you’d like to see? I’ve got one on hand. There’s not much to them compared to the big plank.
 
Yeah LOL I just got this and Avast provides zero instructions except an image of it assembled, but you don't see the detail. Like... huh? I'm looking at half a dozen pieces and no idea where any of them are supposed to go, which side is up or down, etc! @Oter292 did you figure it out by now? 😂

And, like, come on, this is the photo they show us. You can't see anything in this photo. Using a flash costs extra, I guess.

Yeah their instructions leave something to be desired. I had to email them to ask where the eurobrace spacer goes. They sent me this picture, turns out I didn't need it as it is only for very thick eurobraces. You are supposed to use the velcro for eurobrace but I rigged up a different mount.

They were friendly and helpful by email. I told them their instructions needed improvement, and they seemed concerned about that and wanted to know what to improve.

Haha, I used all of that stuff and it's a regular rimless tank. Because the image of the rimless set-up is at an angle that does not show you what's actually assembled there. I guess I used too much stuff. Maybe the plus is that I won't lose it!

For the regular Plank, there is a helpful video on youtube showing exactly what goes where. Nobody has done that for the mini yet.
