Exactly! Now THIS is what i call cheap and real! (Also i did my first ever restauration video on my channel, would be great if some of you gave it some thoughts and ideas, tips or tricks! Thanks in advance, see you on to the next one!
One more motor and two rods. But it might take 4 motors. IDK the load limit of the motors but guys are saying that those two bearing will easily take 100kg together even though they're the wrong type for this application.
I think it would be really cool if you gave a tour of (parts of) your home with all of the diy's throughout it. I'm sure you have a bunch, and not only would it make for a fun video, but it would also be a great example for a great direction that people can go with their diy's over time.
The screw + washer bearing mounts are brilliant. Anytime you can avoid a custom bearing and go with cheap standardized one, like skateboard bearings, you can save big bucks. Your method of mounting them simply and cheaply is the real find for me - Thanks!
You can try building a frame around the monitor so you can avoid having to place that plank of wood every time you lower the monitor. The frame can also act as a shelving unit for small objects or books. Awesome project man!
Michael Lee My thought exactly! That would even look cool. You can have your cactus collection on the shelf or something. :-) (Cactuses? Cacti? Collection of prickly plants! There, nailed it.)
Then he would have to clear up that shelf to get the added workspace. This is about getting more space, not about hiding the monitor and other accessories.
A board ontop would look pretty tacky. A better solution would be just mounting hinges to the plank so it would just get pushed out of the way and automatically close when lowering/raising the monitor
Have been looking for a DIY idea for a sit/stand desk. Love how budget friendly this option is, wouldn't take much to modify the design to make it sit/stand vs being a magician.
So I am working on a footboard for my bed that has this design inside it. I have it all built out, but a few issues... - Motor is ridiculously loud. Why is yours so quiet?! What have I done wrong? - Timing belt is so difficult to get to right tension. Sewing isn't the difficult part, but correct tension is. Tips? - Works with just my plank of wood, but won't spin with weight added. I bought a 775 motor, though maybe not exactly the same on as you. - Struggles once plank is more than halfway down as tension on the board seems to change a bit. Maybe just need to measure more precisely... You made this look so flawless and easy! I am struggling! Haha
This is so cool! It would also work with things like sewing machines, I'm forever having to move mine on and off my desk and with two of them it can be really annoying and now I'll have a proper place to store them when they're not being used 🙂

This is what I was looking for and hope to implement in the coming months. When done I'll video reply for: - Extra rigidity of the moving shelf (just add a couple of L shaped metal bar below, like the vertical ones in the fourth corners). - Improved join of both ends of the drive belt (just sew an opposed teeth bit covering both ends and wrap it with some solid enough metal sheet). - One touch operation in both directions. Yes, could be an Arduino or similar microcontroller, but let's go old school: Two time pulse circuits (one for up, one for down) with a 555 timer with enough time to reach the disconnecting switch. Some TTL (or CMOS if we operate at 12 volts) logic gates and relays will come handy in case Mr. Thick Fingers presses both buttons up & down at the same time so that only one direction of the actuator engine is active. - Panic button to switch everything off, just in case :D - And as someone said, a flipping board. Excellent work, matey :)
I thought about attaching the extra plank to a piano hinge at the back so that it acts like a lid and then make an aesthetically pleasing frame on top of the platform that acts as a lever that pushes it out of the way when the platform rises and lets it back down gently when it lowers again. It wouldn't cost very much to add something like that. Luxury model: add an extra smaller motor connected to the switch that runs the lid itself with a relay of sorts to delay the signal so that it doesn't lower the lid too early when lowering the platform.
Maffinnator that is true. Although a hinge or other mechanism would have to be attached to the wall and the board may get in the way of space necessary behind the monitor
not necessarily, you can add a bonsai, or google home, or wireless lightweight speaker on to the top shelf. On the desk is brought down, it acts like rest of the table, and have those above mentioned items.
The timing belt is likely made out of chloroprene rubber with carbon pigment and reinforced by cord such as Kevlar. You could glue angle cut ends of the belt together using Contact Cement, which is a glue that consists of chloroprene rubber dissolved in volatile solvent, that should weld it together like it was made in one piece. Additionally you could take some thin synthetic cloth and glue some of that along the back side of the seam with contact cement to reinforce it, or maybe a piece of bike tubing. This is not tested by me, just an idea.
Alexander Fagard that works in a machine where the clasp moves along the axis opposite whatever it's supposed to be moving along, so the clasp never hits the pulley, because the range of the belt motion is less than half the bell's length. In this build, the belt is used in an unusual manner and for the complete range of motion, the belt must take dozens of turns, and the clasp will be hitting the pulleys. Like uhhh, the platform travels 1.25mm per revolution of rod, a pulley has 16-60 teeth, let's say it's 20, with a pitch of 2mm, so to get the monitor to travel 40cm, that's 320 revolutions of the rods, or about 13 meters of belt motion, and the desk is obviously less than 13 meters long, so you have a problem. If it was me I probably wouldn't bother with belts at all and would synchronise a bunch of stepper motors instead. Apropos that, it shouldn't require any microcontroller work. Just a $1 stepper driver from a 3d printer and a 555 circuit to give it step pulses. But the motors aren't cheap unless very slow and very wimpy is fine, in which case there is 28BYJ-48 toy stepper which needs to be converted by cutting out a center tap. But no, I wouldn't support a desk on top of those, but it would be fine for a camera slider.
Wonderful idea! I do like PJ's idea of a board that will flip back out of the way on opening, and close down on lowering, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface. It would also help to keep dust accumulation down somewhat. It would add a little bit of complexity, but it would possibly be worth the effort. Great job! You deserve way more subscribers!
The switch is simply reversing the polarity, but it won't work without adding some diodes arduinodiy.wordpress.com/2019/03/24/using-limitswitches-with-diodes/
So much easier and probably cheaper using a linear actuator for the lift. They work great for TV lifts in homes, boats, and RVs. Something else you can add to yours is to put a shelf above the monitor the same width as the desk. Use the board you drop in there for that. By doing so, your desk looks complete and can even have a plant or two sitting on it. When you need the monitor, hit the switch... no need to remove the board or plants as they will just rise up above the monitor. Then you will not have a loose board sitting around when your monitor is in use.
Part of the fun with DIY projects is thinking of extra things that could potentially be done. Like perhaps attaching the extra board right to the whole set up, that way it'll lift when the whole thing lifts, giving a sort of shelf when in the raised position, which could then potentially allow you to add some lighting.
Why not make that cover an automatic hinged cover? Just throw some cheap piano hinge onto the board, make it hinge behind the monitor on the wall side, and put a little arm on the moving platform that pushes the hinged cover out of the way as it rises so the monitor doesn't hit the hinged door. That way, it automatically covers and uncovers itself with no extra mechanisms or moving parts... just a simple hinge.
This is a good idea, I tried this a few years back with an old window mechanism from a car, I kept the switch and everything so I'd "roll up" my monitor, but it died after just a few uses because the scissor mechanism wasn't too efficient at the bottom of the stroke and my monitor was a bit too heavy. I might try this one out, since my computer desk doubles as my crafting and leather work station and I have to work around a bunch of crap. Thanks again for the inspiration! "Calmin' Furze" Strikes again!
I'm now working on scaling this mechanism up for a rising desk leg design. Thanks for the inspiration, you've just very much so earned a new subscriber!
could you attach the plank of wood to the wall with hinges and have a piece of string attached to it and the platform, cut to the right length so when it hits the bottom it pulls the wood down closing the gap automatically?
So I just finished the basic build for a TV cabinet I'm building. I tried using a 12vdc 8a (output) power supply.....it barely moved the shelf. I then plugged in a 19vdc power supply....better. I'm going to try a 24vdc next, hopefully that works better. The end product needs to lift a 25# tv. Fingers crossed.
It's a very good job but I don't find it useful. The fact of hide the monitor Is to use that space for another task or to keep it away form dust if you are working close. A simple solution would be put a wood table with the same size of the base in te top part of the monitor. So when your monitor is hidden the top table will fill the gap. Also, probably will be a good idea put a wood covering the front part of the monitor when is hidden to prevent accidentally hitting it. By the way, I'm impressed with that little DC motor to lift that weight. I would have used a similar motor but with a planetary reductor to prevent the weight pushing down (some planetary gearbox are unidirectional). Again, very good job!
Hi Matt, following your projects is always a pleasure. Now I have found some time to (re-) build the monitor lift desk. But ... parts are not available any more. So, which motor is required regarding the rpm? I assume we do not need to have 10000rpm for the lifter. Could you share some technical details for us regarding the rpm and maybe the recommended power so we can search and find a proper model on ... the web. For sure I will pst an update of "my" project.
@@bernhardstillger1026 What parts did you end up using (I'm late to the party and so the links no longer work and am interested in what type of motor to use (i.e. correct rpm, voltage etc). Any help greatly appreciated
I just found this channel like a month ago. There are better maker channels, there are better makers, there are better channels. The one think Matt has over literally everyone is the utter sheer joy he has in ever video. Which is why I like making things! It’s fun! My things aren’t the best, not done the best ways but it’s fun cause I solved a problem and that’s why I like watching maker videos! Love ya Matt.
I'm liking this. Thinking that there ought to to be sides that support the "removable" top so it would rise with the lift and automatically cover the gap when the lift is lowered.
0:36 dammit, i thought someone really knocking on my door. pause it for a second and there's nothing, hit 'play' again and i thought someone's knocking again at 0:39. replayed the part and it's relieving.
What a wonderful project! perfectly executed. You can also put the upper shelf (the one you use to close the hole when the monitor is down) permanently with the elevator, using some kind of columns, and the whole thing will go up and down. Even more handy and neat!
This guy is a freaking GENIUS!!!! I love this type of stuff. I love the way he made the limit switch circuit, couldn't have made it more simple, this is as simple as it gets. You sir have gained a new subscriber!!! 😊
Hi Matt, really like the monitor lift. Another cool project is if you you make a video for a motorized sit stand desk (desk top lowers for seated work and with a button push raises for standing work - apparently healthier to work standing up!
This is a project I have been thinking of doing a few years now, but have not gotten around to designing one, thanks for the great ideas! need to make something similar this year :D
A cool idea is to make it also like a frame. So you need need to have a piece of plywood to manually put down, it will just rise up like a frame. And if it can handle the weight you probably do some nice designs or paintings to hang on it. Would be really cool
Awesome design! Looking to do the same but mounting it on the underside of the desk. I'd like to have usable workspace when lowered without having to manually place a platform on the top whenever lowered. Thank you for the video. Has everything in it that I needed.
I work in a hardware store and had limited experience with all these tiny nuts and bolts when I started. After a year of working there I could tell you about all the stuff in this video and more just from working in those 2 aisles. Not saying you need to work in a hardware store, but a hobbyist might spend some time in those aisles as well, and just by seeing these pieces you tend to learn when they might come in handy.
Very cool idea, I've seen furniture with these in it, but super expensive. My one suggestion would be to make the platform into a box with sides and the top piece (that you put on yours when it is down). this way when it goes down, you don't need to put that piece back.

I'm looking for something very similar mechanically but completely different. I'm going to mod this build into something else! Thanks for making this!
I just found this channel like a month ago. There are better maker channels, there are better makers, there are better channels. The one think Matt has over literally everyone is the utter sheer joy he has in ever video. Which is why I like making things! It’s fun! My things aren’t the best, not done the best ways but it’s fun cause I solved a problem and that’s why I like watching maker videos! Love ya Matt.
Watched three seconds and then subscribed.
Jonathan Vander Veen You are right , this channel includes really well good videos and thinks.
i love this channel, best diy vids youtube!!

Came here for the budget build for my desk, stayed for that silky smooth voice
I'm liking this. Thinking that there ought to to be sides that support the "removable" top so it would rise with the lift and automatically cover the gap when the lift is lowered.
I'm really glad you left the Iron Islands to pursue a career in DIY, I learn a lot from your videos.
So how about that schematic?

0:36 dammit, i thought someone really knocking on my door. pause it for a second and there's nothing, hit 'play' again and i thought someone's knocking again at 0:39. replayed the part and it's relieving.
Do you have an updated parts list? It looks like the ebay links are dead.
What a wonderful project! perfectly executed. You can also put the upper shelf (the one you use to close the hole when the monitor is down) permanently with the elevator, using some kind of columns, and the whole thing will go up and down. Even more handy and neat!
This guy is a freaking GENIUS!!!! I love this type of stuff. I love the way he made the limit switch circuit, couldn't have made it more simple, this is as simple as it gets. You sir have gained a new subscriber!!! 😊
Such a talented boy
"If that's not cool, I don't know what is" :D
So.... now its 2019... are more than 2 years later enough for the schematic and wiring?
Balaezth Barri'ana it’s now 2020 3 years later enough for the schematic and wiring ?
You could attach the removable platform to the monitor platform so it raises into a small shelf instead of needing to be manually removed
Hi Matt, really like the monitor lift. Another cool project is if you you make a video for a motorized sit stand desk (desk top lowers for seated work and with a button push raises for standing work - apparently healthier to work standing up!
i am really curious as to how you did the wiring mate.
could you please put up a link, to how its done?

@@Addy187a1 Thank's!
Tim Allen would add more horsepower (yes, I'm old)... Great work, by the way!
Tim Allen would “re-wire it”, I guess I am older lol. Love this video! And the others. Well presented, clever designs!
I love this! I'm gonna use it to hide my TV in my camper. Thank you and God Bless you.
I'm doing the same now but need the schematics badly!
This is a project I have been thinking of doing a few years now, but have not gotten around to designing one, thanks for the great ideas! need to make something similar this year :D
the best part for me was when i caught you saying "DEEZ NUTS'' at 3:50 lol🤣
"Schematic and wiring will be added later." When?
It would be really nice to have the schematic!

@@geokandas But how do you add those limit switches to the circuit with that dpdt switch? That's the question :)
ruclips.net/video/WbbhBocbl8A/видео.html here you are!
@@geokandas thx, saved me a lot of time...
DIY Perks could you please add schamtics and wiring
really! I though this like 5 years ago but never done xD, Thank you ! now I have a better idea how to do it :_)
A cool idea is to make it also like a frame. So you need need to have a piece of plywood to manually put down, it will just rise up like a frame. And if it can handle the weight you probably do some nice designs or paintings to hang on it. Would be really cool
Awesome design! Looking to do the same but mounting it on the underside of the desk. I'd like to have usable workspace when lowered without having to manually place a platform on the top whenever lowered. Thank you for the video. Has everything in it that I needed.
What are the specs of the motor you used? The links in the description are dead.
Looks like a 775 dc motor
Imagine making one of these and putting a TV on it
thats what im trying to do for an college project. havent attached the TV to it because it doesnt work as smoothly as his
Some has already done that one...
I just watched this video for fun, but I realised I had over 3x the supplies for this in my workstation!
PorfilioVMJ, did you ever build it?
Did you built it?
Great job. Amazing build. Any chance you could update the parts..the EBay links don’t work for me. I would love to recreate this. Thanks
This is ideal for hiding a big telly behind my flight simulator cockpit - can't wait to give it a try!
I'm just wondering, how u know about all these small pieces u use in ur projects.
Same
A lot of trial and error
I work in a hardware store and had limited experience with all these tiny nuts and bolts when I started. After a year of working there I could tell you about all the stuff in this video and more just from working in those 2 aisles.
Not saying you need to work in a hardware store, but a hobbyist might spend some time in those aisles as well, and just by seeing these pieces you tend to learn when they might come in handy.
4:47 deez nutzz XD
fun fact. He said "nuts" 6 times during this video :)
Facts well discovered. Well done.
When do we see the Schematic and wiring? My Parts are waiting to get wired up ;)
I asked him on twitter and he said this week :-)
p.s see here: twitter.com/DIYPerks/status/861318508831006721
cool thx
Yep, will have it up later this week.
Matt hope you are doin fine. Would be realy cool to have them. ;) But realy lovin this idea of a motorized lift for the monitors.
www.dropbox.com/s/abtv2gf8755zjl2/Diagrama.png?dl=0
Very cool idea, I've seen furniture with these in it, but super expensive.
My one suggestion would be to make the platform into a box with sides and the top piece (that you put on yours when it is down). this way when it goes down, you don't need to put that piece back.
Hi Michael 🤓
This was my accidental watch I don't even know your channel exist until now and I got hook on it automatically. Dude you just gave a ton of ideas on how to improve my entertainment center and my computer build I like what you are doing keep it up and I'm a forever fan. Please include all the parts and schematics specially the electronics I'm not an electronic savvy kind of person but I try to learn. Thanks again love your channel keep it up...from New Jersey fan.
DIY Perks
Can you add the schematics please?
Yeah
what are the motor specs? the link doesn't work
Schematic and wiring will be added later? Its been three months later still not there!!!

Metal crimping clamp on the belt would be the best. Similar to that which is use for securing the boxes with nylon strip.
They used to sell this in a shop I used to work in for £1500. They did cover it with certain designs but I never New it was so easy to make 👌🏾 excellent video.
dude, mke a motorized table,.... thats much cooler... and super useful..
+DIY Perks, I thinks this will work. Schematic and wiring.

Nice diagram! Thanks man
The links are broken
You want ebay links from *7 years ago* to still work?
Binge watching your chanel here from Vancouver Canada. You are my new hero!!! Lol
You are awesome!!! You got me from watching makeup videos to watching your videos only. Now, I am that girl who wants a garage with a table saw and all the other tools in it.
"... considering it's such a simple DIY build"
It's a day-long project. Definitely worth your time if you were considering purchasing a motorized monitor stand.
Stop gluing aluminum. 😂 Torch + aluminum welding is your friend! Takes only 5 minutes...
You are right, but, Not everyone got their hands on welding machines, that's why he used alternative handy "solution".
That’s an oddly shaped fidget spinner...
Wow this is amazing. I was looking for something like this for our dual monitors at home to stash away on the weekend and make the room look cleaner. Definitely have the skills to make this! Thanks
Very impressive, but if I were to do this I would just get 1 or 2 linear actuators and that aluminum track thing you built to improve stability.
4:47 deez nuts
i hate you. lmaooo
to slow i want mine to shoot up like toast
hjg hjtg
Good luck catching it when it does!
use hydraulics to send it through the roof
Sir plz share electrical circuit
I would add plastic that could slide at the corners that way it will also add sliding a lot smoother
Buy a ssd computer for speed... Wait forever for the monitor
