DIY light bar from 2020 extrusion - help!

[aggiejames]

I’m working on building a light hanging kit for my new out of 2020 extrusion. I got it all cut and put together and it looks and works great. However, the whole thing has no stability falling forward or backward. I’ve looked but don’t see a solution for this. Is there a collar that I could use to attach to the stand to give stability?

Currently the setup is a base with 2 verticals and 1 horizontal. The joints and weight on the top are solid.

Picture for reference.

Best solution without attaching it to the stand is going to be a base with right triangles with brackets.

To attach it to the stand, which makes it a little less mobile, I would attach it with a 3d printed bracket. I'm not sure there is a more readily available option or not.

I actually want to attach to the stand. I don’t have the ability to 3d print. Do you know if a stl file for something like this?

I just tagged you in a reply on another thread but here is the link, I just mocked this up really fast.

What a legend! Thanks so much. Let me try and find someone locally to print it.
