I've been dwindling off watching electronics on RUclips because 90% of the content is watered down, they skip over the in-depth build process, the challenges and solutions along the way, like you said, the iterative process. This video is the perfect mix between technical depth, the journey of problem solving, awesome factor, and entertainment. By far the best DIY electronics video I have came across in a very long time. Top work Cam!!
Thank you for the kind words! It is a very tricky content area to navigate all the factors you mentioned. So I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed my style 😄
Most of the time, when there is videos like this, I expect not to watch until the end because it’s boring and watered down but for real, I love your content. It’s not too long but not too short, it shows all the problems you went through and the solutions you found. Seriously love it. I hope you get noticed because you’re a legend.
I love maker you tube because there’s nothing quite like having an idea, doing it, and it works. That smile that people get when that happens is truly unique and I feel like it never gets old seeing that come through for someone.
Yes, I spent some time this morning at least getting cables off the floor. But I want to unplug everything now that the tech is in and make clean runs to ensure minimal interference for audio cables. Haha yeah the corflute needs a long edge for the front. I'm thinking of getting a 2.2meter piece of metal that can act as a straight edge and screw over the bottom front, making it all seamless. Always more to explore and refine!
This project has been so fun to watch. I don't have a clue what you're doing 90% of the time but in a world of problems you are a solutions person and I love it. Well done.
AMAZING! There is nothing like building custom items for a desk for the specific tech you use. Great video and short enough so as not to bore the viewers. You are truly gifted!
MAAAAAATTTEEEEEE!!!!! So bloody stoked to see this all come together! Got those chills with you. Good luck w/ the cable management, with the amount of tech you're cramming in it's worth looking into some form of cable labelling. My desk is a dual display PC and Macbook setup run through a HDMI/USB switch (via thunderbolt dock) and the takeaways from a tonne of cable management iterations over the years due to component failures and moves would be; - Draw and maintain a labelled wiring diagram, both intended design and "as built" once done. - Label each cable at Source, Output and mid-run. Especially important if you end up using more than one plane (X/Y/Z) - So you can hotswap cables ideally have each managed seperately. If not, then manage groups applying "seperation of concerns" - In an ideal world I'd find a way to use "junctions" to seperate "zones" and run appropriate length cables between. The idea being that if I wanted to swap my monitor cable I just have to swap the cable from [[ Monitor Desktop Junction ]] rather than having to remove the entire cable run back to the PC. This would have been invaluable when the DisplayPorts on my GPU went and I had to swap to the HDMI and USB C outputs. - To minimise wear and tear from bumps and day-to-day vibrations on ports/connections, fix and secure as close to the port as practical. Love your stuff man and pumped for what else you dream up.
Man those chills are like nothing else 🤩 Awesome tips, thank you! I for sure should add some labels, at least to the lighting and speakers which have specific sides. A diagram is a good idea, I've done it in the past on my previous cable management video a few years ago as it just got confusing even sorting out powerboard loads. Great idea with a junction box,, even running a switcher for my monitor would be handy as oh how I hate trying to reach behind it! Looking forward to sharing the custom PC build with you next 😁🤙
Yeah, the Stream Deck is basically one large capacitive touch screen, and each button has capacitive rubber on the bottom (the material you find on the tip of those cheap phone styli). The Stream Deck knows which button you pressed based on the area of the screen that was 'touched'. It surprised me when I discovered that too, but in retrospect it makes so much more sense than engineering buttons that each have their own individual displays. It's actually quite genius. It's a pretty simple design that achieves a more complex appearing result.
Yes amazing design idea, and got me thinking about how you could also make custom dashboard displays by simply putting an acrylic or wood faceplate with holes cutout to view a TV behind it. So coool!
This desk is absolutely amazing! I would love to see you turn this into a commercial product as I know I'm not the only one that would love to buy one! For now I tried buying the plans off your site so I can play around with it and see if I could make one without the control panel but everytime I try to check out the page won’t load. Anything you could do to help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks for sharing your dream with us and for making such inspirational videos!
For straighter grinds with the rotary tool, you could use a clamp to hold the tool in place at a right angle to the acrylic and then slide the acrylic against a straight edge so the grinding wheel stays on the path you want (you could even use lengths of your extruded aluminum as the straight edge). That way you eliminate any variance in your movements when grinding the acrylic.
That's a good idea, kind of like a router table, but for the rotary tool. I've since upgraded to a C02 laser at home so was able to do varied depth engraving. I can appreciate people with hands on tool skills, but using a robot is so much easier haha
Bravo!! You really captured how it is to fit existing tech into a re-purpose or different enclosure. Back in the days before 3D printing I did a lot of this type of thing and have gained a lot of experience over the years, not always successful, but that's the incentive to improve (I bricked an $800 VST player once!) With that knowledge, I would say you did very well!
Very nice! And also as a ham radio guy, if the ham radio guys see this they'd love it too. Our radio desks are always screaming for panels and organization. Well done!
Funny thing is I initially wanted to make my own macropad, but after looking into the StreamDeck Plus I realised it did everything I could ever want, and better. Re-Housing it into my desk was the perfect solution
This series has been so helpful/inspirational. I built a new desk late last year and have been customizing it over time and have incorporated some of your ideas (though not to the same extent!) so thank you so much for putting this out there
Amazing stuff. This series gave me huge motivation and inspiration for my next custom setup. I didn't even know I wanted a different setup from what I have now, yet here we are. Thanks for the ideas
It's been really great to read the comments of inspiration, far more than I could imagine really connected with the concept! Custom PC will be very unique, but to go from ideas in my head to real world, much like the desk, can be quite the process haha.
Thanks Alex, yes by the final panel I at least had a few tricks up my sleeve for getting PCB's to mount in unique ways. Now to put those skills into a Custom PC build 👍
Duuuuuuude yes!! It is looking so amazing! I am so stoked for you. The physical hacking you are doing is so fun, I love the time and effort and patience you have for these tiny things you have to worry about to make it all seamless. Just brilliant. Cannot wait to see the pc get started! Congrats mate
Adam dude! Thank you for the tip on the sanding. Although my hand tool skills aren't up to scratch like my robot ones haha. I do plan to try etching with the laser cutter on the back side to get a precise depth to fit the PCB 🤙 Custom PC planning and prototyping is now in full effect 💪
This series has straight up been one of the most interesting series I've ever watched! Seriously incredible job Cam! Can't wait to see what you do in the future :)
THIS IS WHAT I CALL A PROPER CUSTOM DESK BUILD. How on earth are you only on 51K subs? Excellent work - and congrats, I reckon you've just made yourself a load of money with people wanting the files for the same build! ;)
The algorithm worked .... searching for custom desks bought me here today. Amazingly, it appears we also live in the same town looking at footage in some of your vids. Keep up the amazing work, pumped for the PC build!
As a fellow Aussie, I am glad I have stumbled across your channel, I have binge watched pretty much all of your recent videos (mainly the desk build) over the last few nights. Subscribed and can’t wait to see what you do next! Keep up the great work mate.
Very nice work! For those screws that aren't long enough or ones that you can't have the length you could use threaded inserts. Just an idea for the future.
This is super cool, and I'm so glad you managed to get everything fitting together and working how you imagined it! And I can't wait for the custom PC...
This would be my dream project if I owned a laser cutter and had any confidence in soldering. I would love to make a highly customized solution like this. Maybe someday... Never had any formal training with CAD software, but as a graphic designer I have plenty of experience with Illustrator, so I use practically the same method for designing complex 3D printed mounts. I recreate my precise bits in illustrator then import that SVG into TinkerCAD and kit bash everything together.
Thanks Erich! It really tested my patience haha, the custom lighting more than anything. Very happy with the final product. Looking forward to sharing future projects with you now that you're subscribed 😁👍
From talking about the idea on the train to IMAX Oppenheimer to reality... The build has come a long way and so has the channel 🤩 excited to see what's coming 🖤
Bro I forgot about that! Yeah I was in the mad scientist planning phase trying to piece everything together. Thanks for your help with everything! And for the makerspace makeover coming in the next video 😜
Yo Matt! Thanks for watching man. Yeah the bracket was a pain, but a good lesson in iteration. Just keep trying and eventually each little issue will be solved 🤙
10:05 next time you have an issue Like that, you should know, there are These Things called Heat Set Inserts. Basically Just a little brass nut, that you can Melt into your plastic, so that you have a thread within your Part. They are quite cheap and super usefull!
I love the creativity, the dedication and the time spent into making all of this. I love it when people invest into quality of life projects because it always pays off in the end!
@@camshand just a cheap ESP 32 and some Relais. I'm only able to press the pre defined hight buttons (1-4) and not those individual adjustments but this works really well for me.
that turned out great! now that you have some more experience designing enclosures and brackets, maybe make a bezel for that touch screen in the middle! awesome work dude
hahaha yeah the uneven bezels are quite bizarre! problem I realised with making an overlay would mean the screw mounts are no longer symmetrical to the edges of the screen.... it's a lose lose 😢
Beautiful work. Im just curios why you didnt just bridge the contacts on the standing desk control panel and replaced them with other button hardware. Were you afraid to break it? Its actually just a very simple circuit were the button just either closes the connection or keeps it open, if not pressed, all the processing happens on other parts of the board. I just did that on my standing desk and i love not having to use the mushy plastic buttons, but nice clicky metal ones. That way i also could add an additional button which controls all the power to the desk and is in the same design language. Plus: If I would ever need to change out the desk control, because you change the motor or legs of the desk, you could keep the buttons and just rewire them to the new control panel.
Yes great idea, and was what I initially planned, however I wanted to see the 7 segment display. I thought about also soldering to it and running a second one alongside buttons, but after seeing the hinge of the plastic I figured I'd give it a crack as a bit of a challenge/experiment. No doubt soldering new buttons would have been the easier option haha!
Thank you! It's actually codenamed "frost desk" in all my documents haha. As when I started researching and planning the "frosted acrylic" was the key feature.
Metal for the PC frame arrived today! I'm excited to put it all together and start prototyping my custom panels. And nice spot, I love my MegaBot, 3D printed and hand painted it's faces
Great work. Looks good. Can I suggest someting. On your custom PC. Look into mounting the Video Card above the MotherBoard! I know it sounds crazy, but most Video card Cooling is designed to squeez into the PCI Space. If you use Riser cables and place the VideoCard flat and above the MotherBoard you can then use CPU cooling fans and create a better in one side and out the other side flow to the computer. This will allow you to seal up the sides, bottom and top and just have one filter in the front to catch dust and exause out the back. This should not impace performance. Look into it. You have done a great job. Keep up the good work.
I think I know what you're saying, interesting concept! The custom PC build is going to start as an open frame build first. But so far, in theory, going to be able to put the GPU vertically behind the motherboard with a riser cable, but it will involve a right angle twist which I haven't seen before... Will be interesting to hear what you think once you see it!
Let's see how long it takes! Took a few years to hit 1K, then a couple for 10K, now we might smash 100K in the next year. Seems RUclips finally found the cool people 🤙
Yeah my chair has arm rests so it's only my wrists that are at the edge of the desk. Could always make a deeper desk but I found I rarely need more than an A4 page worth 👍

Yes 😅
fr why not buy the screws :)

This has been such a satisfying build series to watch, looking forward to see what the custom PC is going to be like!!
You know it's gonna be sick
This is, hands down, my favorite RUclips channel right now. Just fantastic.

30 yıl önce bunları yapabilmek en büyük hayalimdi , şimdi izleyerek mutlu oluyorum , sen bir çılgınsın dostum
Dude, I just realized I spent 14+ minutes totally enjoying this build .. nice!! :)
the whole "in my flow everything going great before disaster" hits home waaaay to much. This project is amazing keep it up :)
This has to be singlehandedly one of the coolest desks I've seen.
Gotta agree with you there Eddie 😜 but I may be based haha
Me Too Bro
Your are right focus on cable management and the foam underside and it will be so cool!

@@camshand Dang sound like a plan. I really like this project. Its such a cool look with the frosted plexy.
Keep it up!
Not only did you create a video showcasing this awesome project, but you also provided us with the plans and models for it. Awesome content!
This project has been so fun to watch. I don't have a clue what you're doing 90% of the time but in a world of problems you are a solutions person and I love it. Well done.
Thanks Nathan! I've enjoyed sharing the process, the ups and the downs. In the end it all comes together 😁
Bro, just incredible.
Lining up the standing desk buttons with the screen was a class act.
AMAZING! There is nothing like building custom items for a desk for the specific tech you use. Great video and short enough so as not to bore the viewers. You are truly gifted!
I've seen a lot of desk build videos but nothing like this... next level insane!
Thank you, it was quite the process!

This is amazing my man, congratulations!
It's crazy how 3D printers enable "normal" people to make and engineer anything you like
They're truly incredible machines! Especially with prices coming down and sensors automating the difficult parts. So good 😊
Very nice! And also as a ham radio guy, if the ham radio guys see this they'd love it too. Our radio desks are always screaming for panels and organization. Well done!
Man, this is one of the BEST DIY/desk setup video on RUclips, I can't wait for the next video to drop!!
Appreciate the compliment 🤩 I'm excited to share more soon!
Man, this is so wild. Easily the most creative desk setup on RUclips (or dare I say...the internet?)
Incredible work you've done here. Nicely done! 👏🏻
Danny! Appreciate it man, I haven't seen anything like it before in a home desk setup so you might be right 😉
This video deserves more views and likes! It is very well put together and your thought process is amazing!
that is actually a great video! you didn't try to reinvent the wheel, just make it look the way you wanted!! thank you for sharing that!!
Funny thing is I initially wanted to make my own macropad, but after looking into the StreamDeck Plus I realised it did everything I could ever want, and better. Re-Housing it into my desk was the perfect solution
@camshand also the most simple one... you didn't need to code anything with the functions you wanted!
This series has been so helpful/inspirational. I built a new desk late last year and have been customizing it over time and have incorporated some of your ideas (though not to the same extent!) so thank you so much for putting this out there
Amazing stuff. This series gave me huge motivation and inspiration for my next custom setup. I didn't even know I wanted a different setup from what I have now, yet here we are.
Thanks for the ideas
Haha well not sure if I should say sorry or enjoy as I know what the custom desk journey ahead is like! Good luck
3D printing is such a joy to watch
This series has been amazing! Definitely has made so many of us want to design our own dream desk, cannot wait to see how you make a custom PC!
It's been really great to read the comments of inspiration, far more than I could imagine really connected with the concept!
Custom PC will be very unique, but to go from ideas in my head to real world, much like the desk, can be quite the process haha.

Thanks Alex, yes by the final panel I at least had a few tricks up my sleeve for getting PCB's to mount in unique ways. Now to put those skills into a Custom PC build 👍
"I'm not a designer but I really like designing things!"
- 3:59 Truely Inspirational😂😂
This is like if someone put all my interests into one video. Youre going to make it man.
Stoked to have you subbed for the journey 🚀
I just stumbled upon this while going down the RUclips rabbit hole and absolutely loved it. That's such a cool and sleek desk build!
The fact that this came real I am spechless. Congrats!🎉
Thank you, I'm speechless too, so excited to finally be sitting infront of my dream desk 🤩
Dude great work and dedication. This is showing your real talent of showing what's in your head
Really freaking cool. Congrats on finishing this beast of a project.
Thanks Max, I'm stoked to finally have no blank panels on the dashboard 🤩
Duuuuuuude yes!! It is looking so amazing! I am so stoked for you. The physical hacking you are doing is so fun, I love the time and effort and patience you have for these tiny things you have to worry about to make it all seamless. Just brilliant. Cannot wait to see the pc get started! Congrats mate
Adam dude! Thank you for the tip on the sanding. Although my hand tool skills aren't up to scratch like my robot ones haha.
I do plan to try etching with the laser cutter on the back side to get a precise depth to fit the PCB 🤙
Custom PC planning and prototyping is now in full effect 💪
Wow what an effort you put in this vision. I got to say this looks verry good and all the hard work paid out at the end. Well done !
Thank you, it was quite the journey but I'm very happy I stuck with it to see it through 😁
This series has straight up been one of the most interesting series I've ever watched! Seriously incredible job Cam! Can't wait to see what you do in the future :)
I've really been enjoying seeing your whole process. I'd love to do my own custom desk build some time, and what you've done is really inspiring.
Very happy to hear you're inspired to make something yourself! it all starts with an idea 💡
gotta love that you set up a new project to go into after this one, looking forward to it!
haha always got something planned 😉
Hands down the best custom table I’ve ever seen in me entire life…
I found your channel about 3 videos into the desk build and have seen each part a few time. Love the great Custom work you're doing. Huge fan!
Thank you for subscribing! Glad you've enjoyed the process as it's unfolded 👍

Loved the entire process. Killed it.
Man you’ve grown so much. Super duper proud!!
i really recommend using 3m light defusing film on the entire desk. it would clean everything up and look incredible.

really nice video. I am controlling my standing desk with my Stream Deck for 3 Months. And it "floats" under my Monitors.

Thanks man! Love your vids 🤙 keen to share the custom PC build, hoping all the measurements will line up haha 😆
Love this, so unique to you in so many ways. Much better than the 'custom setups' kinda videos, this has depth ! nice work

This video was so wholesome. It's the first I see from you and I promptly subbed. Thanks for sharing your talent.
I have a dream to build a an entire set up like this
As a PCB Designer, I really dont suggest you often cut underneath a connector, since we can have some signal tracks going in internal layers. ^^
BRO THIS IS SO COOOOOOOOOOOOOL
SO HYPED TO SEE WHATS NEXT
Really enjoyed this entire collection of videos. Congratulations on your desk setup! You're a fantastic creator!!
that frozen look on the desk is beatiful
Thank you! It's actually codenamed "frost desk" in all my documents haha. As when I started researching and planning the "frosted acrylic" was the key feature.
The moment you realised it all fit, gave me instant goose bumps. Absolutely love this project. Super excited for the next one.
ohhhh such a great moment! Never thought I'd be angle grinding circuit boards to save millimeters 😅
that project is what i dream of, almost, a ship like design.
goodjob m8
nice job dude, real clean aesthetic
This is awesome!!! Wow i m folloowing this project since the begining and i have to say that this is the best setup I have seen
Thank you for following the journey! I really appreciate your support.
Excited to share future project with you 😁
@@camshand Thank you!! I cant wait for it!!
That is a lot of work for a desk but boy was it satisfying to watch it come together.
this is amazing, just watched the whole build and cant wait to see the custom pc. I love the microbot on the desk
Metal for the PC frame arrived today! I'm excited to put it all together and start prototyping my custom panels.
And nice spot, I love my MegaBot, 3D printed and hand painted it's faces
@@camshand Oooh so exciting, it was one of the first things I spotted being a fan of Big Hero 6 my self.
Great work. Looks good. Can I suggest someting. On your custom PC. Look into mounting the Video Card above the MotherBoard! I know it sounds crazy, but most Video card Cooling is designed to squeez into the PCI Space. If you use Riser cables and place the VideoCard flat and above the MotherBoard you can then use CPU cooling fans and create a better in one side and out the other side flow to the computer. This will allow you to seal up the sides, bottom and top and just have one filter in the front to catch dust and exause out the back. This should not impace performance. Look into it. You have done a great job. Keep up the good work.
I think I know what you're saying, interesting concept!
The custom PC build is going to start as an open frame build first. But so far, in theory, going to be able to put the GPU vertically behind the motherboard with a riser cable, but it will involve a right angle twist which I haven't seen before... Will be interesting to hear what you think once you see it!
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhh i am hyped for "next project"!!!!!!
Amazing stuff mate. I’m saying “I was here” now, so I can come back in the future at 1 million subs and revisit
Let's see how long it takes! Took a few years to hit 1K, then a couple for 10K, now we might smash 100K in the next year. Seems RUclips finally found the cool people 🤙
i was here!!
This is SICK
I really enjoyed watching this process... Great work!
This looks so amazing!
I could never use this as i rest my arms on my desk, but this looks amazing!
Yeah my chair has arm rests so it's only my wrists that are at the edge of the desk.
Could always make a deeper desk but I found I rarely need more than an A4 page worth 👍
