Angus: "And these speakers are 10 kilos each!" Me: rubbing hands together in excitement to see him use 2 kg of filament to hold one speaker. Angus: "So I had a friend plasma cut these wings out of steel!" Me: Gasp! "How dare he use *steel*" 😒
Metal 3D printing is a thing, but it's still very expensive. It works like surgical lasers where there are multiple laser beams converging on a point in a tray of metal powder to melt and fuse the powder into a solid.
Having the time line annotations was really cool. I appreciate that. I accidentally clicked off and had to come back, those breakdowns made it super easy to pick up where I jumped out!.
Angus you forgot all the nano-leaves and acoustic foam on the wall😂, jokes aside, great job on using 3D printing for sorting small stuffs, trully a place for 3D printing to shine.
nano-leaves are so expensive though. the company MI was making something similar but they said those didn't have a good build. actually you could 3D print and programme to DIY those.
I used to have my cards in a small plastic box with magnet lid. I mainly use micro SD because they are cheaper and I have many devices that take those. once I droped it at school and it took quite a while to find all of them on the floor. now I use a cloth bag with plastic pockets inside, one for each card. quite like the ones used to keep DVD libraries.
Great video! I especially liked the under desk mounting ideas. One upgrade that I highly recommend that you consider is a 'monitor desk mount'. I found that it clears up an enormous amount of precious desk space, when the monitor stand is gone. (Also, when I got burgled a few years back, they skipped the monitors, because they had no stand.) Love your content.
i haven't watched this channel in forever and i basically never comment on youtube, but damn i was completely shocked by how good your production quality has gotten. hell yeah brother
Excellent. May I add that you can get the exact curveture mathematically. I'm not going to do the derrivation since explaining this as plain text with no drawing is challenging on its own. Amyways, here we go: Since the curveture of the TV is symmetrical, all we need to do is find the radius 'r' (consider a top view of the TV). To do this we follow these steps: 1. Measure the distance between the end points of the arc, we're interested in half the distance, call it d (d=distance÷2) 2. Using a reference line between the two ends (a tensioned string or rubber band etc), measure the perpendicular distance from the middle of this line to the curve, call that 'a'. 3. Then r=(d*d + a*a)/(2a) A bit too nerdy, but would love to see if that matches the camera holder you made. Awesome channel
Looks great, awesome job. I would highly recommend a monitor arm. Frees up a lot of space on the top of the desk taken by the monitor stand. Think this would be very useful with the limited space you have.
One of the first things I did when I got my printer was design a holder for my headset and controllers for the side of my desk. You are giving me more Ideas haha.
The drawer idea is really neat! A few things I've added under my desk - some USB powered LED light strips for some more ambient lighting, - a powered USB hub so I can charge devices like phone/tablets even when the PC is off, whilst also giving me a bunch of extra ports - cable management tray at the back Also, mounting my 34" monitor on a pole mount felt like it freed up a lot of desk space on top!
Wow! Awesome setup! Your new camera really makes a difference! Love that monitor! So, myself having been married at one point......I know that now since you have something really nice, the old lady now wants something nice too! So you being the youngster that you are maybe you haven't come across this yet! But it's coming, you can bet on that! So, you might want to start putting a little back for when it's comes because it won't be cheap! Just my .02!.....Good luck!
A TV I bought fifteen years ago had an ambient light design similar to that, on the sides. It really does add to the atmosphere. Your setup there looks really nice with that monitor.
Hey, dont end up damaging the Screen with the weight of camera. I hope you have looked into that. Pressure on a screen can end up leaving u with Dead Pixels
@@MakersMuse A nice curved track mounted on the top of the stand behind the monitor, an MCU with WiFI like an ESP32 and a servo will get you the ability to programmatically track the camera left and right while keeping you in the center of the frame.
@@bbowling4979 Don't forget Home Assistant integration. Could probably be done easily enough with ESP Home or Tasmota. Gotta have auto camera slider voice control!
I'm a maker and use many technologies, 3D printers are just one and so I for one was very happy to see all the different things you did. Sure, your channel is based around 3D printing but it never hurts to expand your realms a bit.
I really like seeing that you have the same design issues that i have. Making analogs to check a curve rather than knowing how to measure and reconstruct a complex curve. I see your designs and think of how much cad training i had forgotten after high school and that my designs are much simpler and boxy than yours. It's always good to see the work that goes into them
Angus: You might want to get a short piece of sandpaper (50cm of grit 60 .. 80 and 10cm of grit 150), then make a "round-over" on the edge of your tabletop (eg. the top/front, where your arms rest). I have this horribly sharp corner on my tabletop and it hurts my wrists every day; unfortunately I can't round it over because it's made of a material that does not work well after doing that). Your tabletop seem to be made of plywood, which is why I suggest sandpaper rather than planing. If using a plane, it would create splinters, but if you use sandpaper, the result should be nice. Apart from that, great video; I really enjoyed watching your improvements. - And I especially was happy to hear you've chosen Steinberg and Cubase; awesome extremely professional tools, which I used back in the day where I had an Atari ST. Oh, and about the LEDs ... Each WS2812 LED draws about 50mA (0.050 A). That means a 4A power supply would be able to handle (4A / 0.050A) = 80 LEDs (white, full intensity). If you have more LEDs than that, multiply the number of LEDs by 0.050A then get a power supply that can handle a current higher than that. May I suggest a MeanWell IRM-60-5ST (which I use for my server); it's 5V/10A, thus should be able to handle 200 WS2812 LEDs. This power supply has screw-terminals on both the primary and secondary sides. That means you'll have to make your own mains leads. If you're not yet coached by a professional electrician, please find one and get a demonstration on how to correctly connect a wire to a screw terminal properly (1: Twist, 2: Bend, 3: Insert and tighten screw). The IRM-60-5ST is very robust and the input voltage can vary from 85V AC to 305V AC, so it should work on a standard AC outled anywhere in the World.
for these kinds of things is basically why i bought my 3d printer in the first place. as i've grown more knowledgeable about using it and getting good prints, i have now printed a few things for my desk space and will be a adding some more as needed. in the future maybe even building a racing station. here's some things i've printed for my desk so far: headphone wall hanger, headphone desk hanger, headphone desk stand (yes, i have a few pairs), and audio project box that houses (and controls) my audio amps, pre amp, and minidsp module, a low poly charmander (other two starters will be printed once i have the colors), a "gaming" set of red keycaps for my cheap mechanical keyboard, and an enclosure for my subwoofer amp which did not have one. i'm using a lot more than i thought i would. not only that, but there's a few projects that i plan to start later on and maybe even build a small cnc machine since i have and old router i might put to some use. all in all, i've been enjoying using my 3d printer quite very much and definitely glad i decided to buy it.
I felt it when you were talking about eyeballing while reverse engineering. I always seem to start modeling things that I have no way of remaking without some intense eyeballing
Angus, I love the drawer and I will have to print one out for myself! Also, you could add a charging station for camera equipment, phone, and other devices. Perhaps that could be another project that goes on a table or workbench.
You asked for suggestions.. for the shape of the monitors in "Video Upgrades" I would do it a bit different: I would 3D-scann (via iPhone with e.g. ScandyPro) the "unclear" object. It is pretty simple to scan what you need because you don't need a correct and clean object but something you can recognize later to build the 3D object around. Export it as stl, cut & clean it in Meshmixer, import it in Fusion360 and make fitting shapes. This is surprising accurat, very handy and really cool when you didn't even measured and if fit's on the first print! Even if it doesn't completely fit, it's also possible to work gently with a heat gun and make it fit.
Well done mate, what you've done is awesome. I'm a real tech head with audio/visual and the like and I've just bought my first 3D printer and making all sorts of bespoke cool things. Is there a 3D Heaven?
I think what you actually need is a sound level meter paired to an LED strip on your wall 😉 Or maybe paired to a rumble pack (salvaged from an old controller or maybe the vibration component from a phone?) strapped to your ankle. Though the power pack you need for that might become a little bit burdensome after a while... Maybe make it a clip-on for your belt? Stuff like that might even help you catch when someone honks at you while you're walking around town, I don't know if that's a concern for deaf people. I also don't think I've ever heard a honk directed at me to wanr me of danger (discounting those that are simply meant as an insult), but that might depend on where you live. The siren of emergency service vehicles might be another application though.
As for the curved monitor back - there are numerous tutorials for how to trace a curved surface onto cardboard. I mean, this solution worked but you could actually curve the piece to fit perfectly. Also, there are monitor mounting arms that can be bolted to the desk in the back, thus freeing up all that space used by the humongous monitor foot.
Nice to see you posting again, Seems like we have had similar lock downs I 3D printed a heap of brackets, clamps & chocks to tidy up my AV set up on my Cetus. I also used a heap of those led strips from core electronics for another project. If you watch the ads for the new ch 10 show “Masked Singer” in the frill neck lizards “frill” you will see several rolls on them.
very cool Angus, the SD card drawer is going to be changing lives, I am totally making one. I have old media from Cameras that I still use since it is fast enough and big enough to be useful but they are a logistics pain.
Inspiring how you solve these challenges... I want to fully go into 3D modeling.. Something that can be produce yeah, like 3D printed or CnC... So seeing you're using it this way inspires me.. Especially with the drawer and the new case design you did for the USB hub.. Really inspiring... Subscribed 🥂🙂
I recently completed the biggest print that I have ever attempted. My socket set had the blow moulded tray finally crap out on me. New socket set? NO. Designed replacement in fusion 360 and printed it out on my modded tevo tarantula. Made me really happy when I finished it and put the sockets in
Might want to attach your monitor to the wall of a TV support arm to reclaim some desk space. I did that with mine, though since I have a motorized standing desk I attached it to a dual monitor (for the load rating) upright post rather than the wall. Probably irrelevant for you, but the hinged arm also lets me put the monitor back further on my (somewhat deeper) desk so I can use the surface for other projects such as soldering.
@@MakersMuse nice 👌 I used to have the model before yours, in the estate version. Loved that car, but increasing family size & spiralling fuel prices, it sadly had to go 🤦♂️
Computers on the floor collect dust, so clean the filters if you have them regularly. Best is if you can get it up off the floor. Some good ideas here, thanks for the tips.
The new setup looks awesome!! I've been wantng to do the responsive led backlighting for a while but thought it would be too complicated. Thanks for links!!
Thanks for putting up the Fusion360 models. I've been meaning to come up with my own desk organization stuff and was looking for how to do some more complex designs but couldn't find any good examples, now I have something to look at.
Thank you for the nice ideas. I have the same monitor and never thought of adding ambilight to it. The small drawer is cool, I think I print this one. Thanks!
Empowering your creativity. Crushing your wallet. Seriously though. Those led lights are awesome. I used to drool over those old Philips plasma TVs that had this feature built in.b
That monitor stand takes up so much desk realestate. My Asus VG34 gave me that issue and I got so annoyed with it I just went with a Monoprice monitor arm. Freed up loads of space and gave my monitor that free-floating look.
For measure radius or copy shapes, I usually bend a wire over the object, scan the shape on my flat-bed scanner, load the picture in F360 and use calibrate to get to the right dimension. After this, I can design anything around with the correct dimensions.
YEEES SIR - thank you. Will definitely have a go at the ambilight :-) I haven't seen this before for the PC but have had Philips TV'2 with ambilight for a decade for the same reason.
Thanks. Interesting video on how, when you set your mind to something, logic and astetics follow. Midi under the table reminded me of the middle 80's and the CB Radio craze in South Africa. CB mounted under the car dashboard in a similar bracket... and a 3 meter wip antena mounted on the cars bumber....
Amazing setup Angus! I'm somewhat spooked on how similar aesthetics our product choices we take, I also just bought the g9 That Joi wallpaper looks sick! It's always a good day when you upload!
This is a great setup, and it can actually be done, albeit not so cleanly and elegantly, without 3D printing. Lots of food for thought here. I still don't have a 3D printer (hopefully that will change within a few months), but I do have a desk and workstation with similar issues.
I needed to figure out the profile (cross-section) of the seat-portion of an office-chair once - a molded plastic part. My trick (that works!) --> (1) apply painter's tape to the thing you want to copy (2) create an approximate shape with a 3D-pen over the painter's tape (3) let it cool, and take it off - then measure it (4) profit!
With a bit of battening at the back of the desk, you could potentially switch to using the VESA 100x100 mount, and a good gas hinge arm. That would free up desk space used by the stand, which might be valuable to you on a desk of that size. Definitely would need a batten though (or another steel plate, doesn't even need to be fixed to the desk), looking at the thickness of that desk.
Sorry to be a bit of nitpicker, but I think you could shrink the footprint of the desk quite a bit if instead of mounting the speakers off to the sides, perhaps you could have built upwards to mount the speakers above the screen? Anyway, it all looks super awesome! Glad you did it!
Love the setup! I feel like you could have relocated the USB on the card reader but the USB hub setup is probably more useful. Don't diss the Gateron Red switches so much, I love them more than Cherry's honestly. Poor mouse pad tho... My 10$ Chinese desk mat is my baby and I couldn't bear cutting it. Keep up the videos!
I would highly recommend an ergotron HX. Yes it's expensive, but also it will give you your desk back. I use the smaller LX with a reinforcement metal plate for my ultrawide and I love it to death.
Awesome work Angus. I really like what you've done in such a compact space. The automotive carpet is a great idea. Excellent desktop wallpaper as well!
Oh that's hecking awesome :O I loved the wings! I don't have acsess to much but maybe i can 3d print stuff like that for lighter things. I do have a soldering/hotair station, maybe i can put that on a mini shelf on the wall :O maybe buy a small plank of wood and just print 2-3 lil thingies under it. that drawer is also awesome i should defiantly make one. I also love your keyboard sooooo much. i should make one in lavender if I ever get out of my country and have the money
Angus: "And these speakers are 10 kilos each!"
Me: rubbing hands together in excitement to see him use 2 kg of filament to hold one speaker.
Angus: "So I had a friend plasma cut these wings out of steel!"
Me: Gasp! "How dare he use *steel*" 😒
Cheating! 😂
@@MakersMuse It is cheating :( I too was expecting some crazy industrial design speaker mount.
I want to see you repeat that after he buys a 3D Printer for metal filament
I got the same reaction! 😂
Metal 3D printing is a thing, but it's still very expensive. It works like surgical lasers where there are multiple laser beams converging on a point in a tray of metal powder to melt and fuse the powder into a solid.

Good to see another video Angus.

Nah just use egg cartons way cheaper :P
@@MakersMuse waiting patiently.. :D
nano-leaves are so expensive though. the company MI was making something similar but they said those didn't have a good build. actually you could 3D print and programme to DIY those.
I really like the LED mod and the drawer. Had an evil laugh at the SD card launch though.😁
NYEHEHEHE!
SD card go YEET!
I used to have my cards in a small plastic box with magnet lid. I mainly use micro SD because they are cheaper and I have many devices that take those. once I droped it at school and it took quite a while to find all of them on the floor. now I use a cloth bag with plastic pockets inside, one for each card. quite like the ones used to keep DVD libraries.

Excellent. May I add that you can get the exact curveture mathematically. I'm not going to do the derrivation since explaining this as plain text with no drawing is challenging on its own. Amyways, here we go:
Since the curveture of the TV is symmetrical, all we need to do is find the radius 'r' (consider a top view of the TV). To do this we follow these steps:
1. Measure the distance between the end points of the arc, we're interested in half the distance, call it d (d=distance÷2)
2. Using a reference line between the two ends (a tensioned string or rubber band etc), measure the perpendicular distance from the middle of this line to the curve, call that 'a'.
3. Then r=(d*d + a*a)/(2a)
A bit too nerdy, but would love to see if that matches the camera holder you made.
Awesome channel

My youtube hasn't be notifying me of your videos recently. I checked and I have notifications on.
I have the same mouse lol. Setup looks good. Well done
Can't imagine life without the trusty G502, it's truly awesome.
@@MakersMuse Same. I love the unlock-able scroll wheel. Logitech must have the patent locked down, I haven't found another mouse with it.
I have it to
Might want to attach your monitor to the wall of a TV support arm to reclaim some desk space. I did that with mine, though since I have a motorized standing desk I attached it to a dual monitor (for the load rating) upright post rather than the wall. Probably irrelevant for you, but the hinged arm also lets me put the monitor back further on my (somewhat deeper) desk so I can use the surface for other projects such as soldering.
Living the set up, especially the LED lights 👍🤤 at 3:45, is that yours or your mates Legnum VR4 in the background?
Mine, it's the sedan, Galant 👍 😍
@@MakersMuse nice 👌 I used to have the model before yours, in the estate version. Loved that car, but increasing family size & spiralling fuel prices, it sadly had to go 🤦♂️
@@syntaxcuemi3d53 Yeah the fuel consumption is... extreme to say the least!
What a beauty! Great job! I loved your camera mount for your monitor. And thank you for inspiring us by inspiring yourself.
Great video.
Projects like this are exactly what we need right now.
Computers on the floor collect dust, so clean the filters if you have them regularly. Best is if you can get it up off the floor. Some good ideas here, thanks for the tips.
The new setup looks awesome!! I've been wantng to do the responsive led backlighting for a while but thought it would be too complicated. Thanks for links!!
Thanks for putting up the Fusion360 models. I've been meaning to come up with my own desk organization stuff and was looking for how to do some more complex designs but couldn't find any good examples, now I have something to look at.
Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to share all of that stuff!
Love that monitor! How about making some acoustic panels with a synthwave look?
Next step is a giant logo above I think, so might combine the two tasks of glowy and sound absorption!
Thanks for this awesome video! ;-)
Remember kids, always Make hole in metal first, and then put it on top/below the wood and mark the holes. Then drill into wood
What, you don't want to drill three holes in plate steel fishing to match the ones you started in the desktop? :D
Thank
you for the nice ideas.
I have the same monitor and never thought of adding ambilight to it.
The small drawer is cool, I think I print this one. Thanks!
Empowering your creativity. Crushing your wallet.
Seriously though. Those led lights are awesome. I used to drool over those old Philips plasma TVs that had this feature built in.b
That monitor stand takes up so much desk realestate. My Asus VG34 gave me that issue and I got so annoyed with it I just went with a Monoprice monitor arm. Freed up loads of space and gave my monitor that free-floating look.
I love synthwave too. Good for you to get this setup built
Nice Craftbot printer you got there!
Nice job on the new setup! I especially like the tripod mount.
Nice Work! Virginia, USA checking in.
For measure radius or copy shapes, I usually bend a wire over the object, scan the shape on my flat-bed scanner, load the picture in F360 and use calibrate to get to the right dimension. After this, I can design anything around with the correct dimensions.
YEEES SIR - thank you. Will definitely have a go at the ambilight :-) I haven't seen this before for the PC but have had Philips TV'2 with ambilight for a decade for the same reason.
Thanks. Interesting video on how, when you set your mind to something, logic and astetics follow. Midi under the table reminded me of the middle 80's and the CB Radio craze in South Africa. CB mounted under the car dashboard in a similar bracket... and a 3 meter wip antena mounted on the cars bumber....
'Kind of overkill mount'
Angus, that looks like a frickin military building.
Amazing setup Angus!
I'm somewhat spooked on how similar aesthetics our product choices we take, I also just bought the g9
That Joi wallpaper looks sick!
It's always a good day when you upload!
This is a great setup, and it can actually be done, albeit not so cleanly and elegantly, without 3D printing. Lots of food for thought here. I still don't have a 3D printer (hopefully that will change within a few months), but I do have a desk and workstation with similar issues.
I needed to figure out the profile (cross-section) of the seat-portion of an office-chair once - a molded plastic part. My trick (that works!) --> (1) apply painter's tape to the thing you want to copy (2) create an approximate shape with a 3D-pen over the painter's tape (3) let it cool, and take it off - then measure it (4) profit!
With a bit of battening at the back of the desk, you could potentially switch to using the VESA 100x100 mount, and a good gas hinge arm. That would free up desk space used by the stand, which might be valuable to you on a desk of that size. Definitely would need a batten though (or another steel plate, doesn't even need to be fixed to the desk), looking at the thickness of that desk.
Hi Angus - wondering what you use for your laptop and your desktop? Any minimum specs you recommend for 3D modeling? Thanks. Love your channel. 🤗✌💜
Sorry to be a bit of nitpicker, but I think you could shrink the footprint of the desk quite a bit if instead of mounting the speakers off to the sides, perhaps you could have built upwards to mount the speakers above the screen? Anyway, it all looks super awesome! Glad you did it!
Love the setup! I feel like you could have relocated the USB on the card reader but the USB hub setup is probably more useful. Don't diss the Gateron Red switches so much, I love them more than Cherry's honestly. Poor mouse pad tho... My 10$ Chinese desk mat is my baby and I couldn't bear cutting it.
Keep up the videos!
I would highly recommend an ergotron HX. Yes it's expensive, but also it will give you your desk back. I use the smaller LX with a reinforcement metal plate for my ultrawide and I love it to death.
for the UR22 you could add another angled surface where it connects to the desk to point it down a bit. that should give you a bit more knob clearance
Awesome work Angus. I really like what you've done in such a compact space. The automotive carpet is a great idea. Excellent desktop wallpaper as well!
looks good mate.
Oh that's hecking awesome :O
I loved the wings! I don't have acsess to much but maybe i can 3d print stuff like that for lighter things. I do have a soldering/hotair station, maybe i can put that on a mini shelf on the wall :O maybe buy a small plank of wood and just print 2-3 lil thingies under it.
that drawer is also awesome i should defiantly make one.
I also love your keyboard sooooo much.
i should make one in lavender if I ever get out of my country and have the money
