Small-grid support?

[Iconoplasty]

Is there a small-grid thing I can build that will create support for things like Consoles? I'm building a vertical airlock (blast door in horizontal orientation) in the middle of a floor, and would like to try to get the console up near eye level. The ideal is something that's less than 1 sq. m at the base, and about 1m high (large grid is 2m x 2m, right?) but pretty much anything that's smaller than a Steel Frame would be nice.

My question is if you are building an airlock why wouldn't you use fully sealed frames?
It is an interesting idea to have a small grid but I think its usefulness might be kinda narrow.

The airlock does have fully sealed frames. They're the floor. I'm looking for something to raise the console up above the floor without wasting all the space of an entire frame.

A small-grid thing that provides Support would be useful for consoles and displays in all kinds of situations, not just with what I'm doing here.

Hmm I have to admit I can't picture what you are trying to do. When you say a horizontal configuration are your going for something like the airlock/tunnel the tutorial base has at its solar panel array?

Made this one ages ago,

Small grid support, not really anything designed for that.
Following screenshot: need to put down 2 frames temporarily, 1 directly above airlock before you install blast door and 1 beside airlock, put your console up, connect a wire to it (that will stop it falling off in next step), remove both frames and I used a corner wall peace and sunk it into floor to be at same height as console. note that the blast door connections are at far side of blast door, done that so the wire from console can go past blast door (wires and pipes only go across at top of blast door).

Hope that gives you some ideas :-)
Edit: tried to get more corners to fit around wire, no luck

put up a iron wall place your thing wire it then take your wall down. make sure the wall facing is correct, stuff doesnt snap to the back of a wall only its face

Ah, thanks. I was afraid of that.
A bit hacky (abusing missing physics) but it works.

Thanks!

But seriously... devs... some sort of "stand" for small things that require support where you don't want to put a whole frame ... that would be awesome.

A side note on what you are trying to accomplish.... I still wish they would add a hatch.
