[@paradoxx_4221]

when pulling apart audio products, they're enclosed in a metal case for a reason, being interference. I suggest trying to keep the case mostly intact to keep interference low, or make something different yourself to shield the stuff

[@alaricpaley6865]

I had just been coming down here to say that. my Audio Interface isn't well shielded and it picks up my phone if its within 2 feet of it.

[@harrytsang1501]

This, all audio hardware needs their own tinfoil hat. I mean faraday cage

[@Subgunman]

You can get thick copper foil at most art supply stores. It’s not to thick but you can create a shield that can slip around each of the electronics. Solder the ends together and add some thick parchment baking paper along the inside of the shield so as not to short out any components to the circuit board. You can attach a ground wire to the shield and in turn attach that wire to each circuit board ground. Hopefully thy are using a common ground between circuits. If not and you are still having issues a ground loop isolator in the Audubon paths might be in order.

[@MayankJairaj]

but most of the modern day electronics are really well shielded, u should only do this if you find some noticeable difference the wattages are too low to produce a significant amount of noise

[@valiantred]

should save himself the headache and just buy a rack mounted interface...

[@BekoPharm]

This is basically how a DIY home cockpit is built. Can totally relate: There is something to knobs and real buttons to push. …and while not gaming I use mine on my desktop as well, e.g. for multi media control 🤓

[@LanceCSTCuddy]

My solution for the same task was to use PCBWAY to make basically that panel out of their thickest black fiberglass PCB material. That let me use the solder mask to make great labels. It’s plenty strong for the task and looks great.

[@camshand]

Dang that's genius! I've seen some sure creative uses of labels with traces. I really dig the exposed electronics look so I'm sure it looks amazing!

[@General_Mills_]

I paused the video @ 2:29 And stared in awe. Inspired me to do my own kitchen mini atelier. Big respect for the quality of this content (as someone who works in the movie industry) and this project just looks mad aesthetic.

[@Subgunman]

Nice panels! Perhaps a top panel made of the acrylic plastic Lucite might be nice. Using an CNC engrave you can engrave labels for the controls. When lit from an edge the engraved portion will glow with the color of the light source used.

[@interstellarsnow]

i like the fact you used tinkercad, a simple program anyone can use for the 3d printing. really shows you can do this without a fancy program

[@camshand]

Dude you get it! I try and use as many free resources as possible so people can see anyone can do it. I also used Inkscape for vector graphics, it's like a free illustrator

[@interstellarsnow]

@@camshandnice!

[@Joe_townsend9]

such a cool project, this video has been my favorite addition so far

[@karlmee1234]

This is coming along so nicely. Keen for the next video in your desk series 👌🏻

[@AapfelAaron]

I just love this. Please dont stop doing stuff like that

[@iamjogun]

I've been thinking about doing this for so long! I'm totally sold on it now and need to buckle down and do my take on it.

[@thedabblingwarlock]

Oh nice. I like how it's coming together.

[@mxm53]

Man, this is looking FIRE!! 🔥🔥

[@BikesnB]

beautiful work. i love this series so much. i hope you never stop doing anything to your desk.... lol

[@m0bac]

That looks so clean! Can’t wait to see what else you add

[@tamojitsaha2830]

That macro-pad looks so cute. If possible, please share the link to the product

[@Drummerboy106]

This is one of the coolest videos and desk setups ive seen in a long time!

[@Inari-IX]

Been waiting for this. Did not disappoint!

[@tpjs]

This hiding of "of-the-shelf-electronics" in standardized units is all i ever wanted.... i only would go the route of doing it modular like in synthesizers, So if one piece changes, i dont need to redo the whole panel... but apart from that, this is an absolute dream

[@railpressureflip]

This is absolutely insane, no idea how you don't have a million followers already mate! Subbed, looking forward to more like these!

[@dm1978]

Came across your channel for the first time today and subbed. Love your work, mate.

[@tonylarose4842]

Big inspiration with this video. I love knobs and buttons

[@MartinPittBradley]

Beautiful work

[@machinate]

coming along great - you'll see the biggest improvement if you just at least slightly adjust your speakers - Get them up and pointing towards you. One solution I've seen that was pretty clever is using monitor arms to hold them.

[@ArcadeObsessed]

Seriously man, next level this is sick good work bro

[@JanLunge]

Such a cool project and also presented perfectly, keep up the great work

[@camshand]

Thanks man appreciate it 😁🤙

[@jeppelysebjerg8075]

Danm. Content of this quality, full personality, near-perfect editing, product development like a pro, and great skills all around. Deserves so so much more than 18.500 subs. Great vid man! Keep it up :D

[@SilkRoadStaff]

Superb video quality! Wish you much sucess to come. Love from Brazil!

[@DIYtechie]

Awesome project and video. Thanks 😊👍🏻

[@shadowr2d2]

Thank you for posting this video 🎉. You have a new subscriber. Keep up the great 👍 work. You have an amazing desk.

[@MoshiAngelic]

My god this is an amazing vid love it!!!

[@sylasyukale5095]

The way that you think and process information and your visual learning remind me of my autistic brain. I can so relate to your content. Keep up the awesome content, mate. I am also in the process of making a more interactive desk; I've been living in CAD for a bit now.

[@thoughtportals]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME

[@kylefelipe]

AMAZING DESK....

[@robdevenney]

nice work mate

[@GothGuy885]

Awesome Project ! 😀👍

[@Tygron]

I've had this idea to make a desk out of that extruded aluminum stuff for a month or two now... seriously making me want to do it. Instead of a panel for gear like you're doing i'm probably gonna keep my stuff on the desk but I want to build a mount for my monitors and speakers into the desk. Originally I was just gonna make a stand out of wood or something but............

[@canadianguy69]

This is sick, i really wish my desk was like yours

[@tylerbrown3987]

I love the music choice for pulling apart the electronics; I never thought that electronics disassembly could be so dramatically inspiring.

[@sshivam6955]

Man i wouldn't even use that desk, afraid it will skratch that beauty.

[@arefinlabib4630]

Freaking Fire!!!!

[@Jamigam]

u know what would be awesome, integrating the keyboard into the table

[@camshand]

Ohhh I really really want to do this! But I have my keyboard in two different spots when typing or when gaming. I'm thinking of maybe a modular sliding panel design to be able to slide the surface along

[@twisted_seraph]

Love this build. Would love see you design a dock for that Zepheryus G15, since it is the same one I have. Open to collaborate on a design since I am Mechnaical Design Engineer and also have and use 3D printers.

[@Radionica834]

It works but it looks very cheap. I think it will be nice if it has like vintage design with bigger silver knobs and switches

[@leafyfungus5]

You've gotta add a momentary switch ( like the ones used in airplanes ) to turn on your PC and monitor 💯

[@camshand]

I'm hoping that with a thunderbolt dock I'll be able to re-route an on/off button for my laptop!

[@hadialhussain2880]

Hi, I really LOVE your ideas and your work what Program/App you use for 3D modeling?

[@Div-wc5hk]

I want to make something exactly like this, do you have any suggestions?, I love your work

[@warrior-e_x_e]

the music at 0:58 kinda reminds me of Vertigo 2.. either way good content, nice build too

[@aps118]

Very very good video

[@RhysGannell]

At the 2:00 minute mark you mention working off a scaled photo - which can be distorted depending on your focal length. A similar trick I’ve seen (if you have access to one) is using a flatbed scanner.

[@camshand]

that is true which is why I used a telephoto lens on my phone and held the camera far away to counter distortion. Simply because I don't have a scanner haha

[@marius.ballot]

2024 : a Million subs. Like come on, how does HE have only 21k. Insane. Keep up boss, astonishing work

[@EffinWit]

Is perspective and lens distortion an issue when taking reference photos for CAD?

[@ajinkyakamat7053]

Please dont shuck such well made hardware. The amps used some great sheilding and the manufacturer went for nice shielded connectors. I died inside died inside a little bit.

[@jacquesfortier4929]

How come you are using tinker cad when fusion 360 is free if used for personal use only

[@Basurupraween]

nice bro 🤩🤩🤩

[@Lamar87.]

what was that electronic note pad you where using?

[@UnSafeHairBall]

Hehe really nice knob

[@AngryFloatingCow]

He seems to like volume knobs, wait till he hears of mixers, knobs out the wazoo.

[@camshand]

hahaha! I used to be a nightclub DJ and man oh did love using decks and a 4 channel mixer 😍

[@LifeofAntontheOfficial]

which laser cutter do you use?

[@SpeedrunnerG55]

i really hope your going to take shielding into account. RF and cross talk might be a big problem

[@camshand]

I'm currently testing it out. TBH haven't noticed any crazy levels of EMI, and when teenage engineering built the MOAD for Swedish House Mafia the didn't do anything fancy for RF. Worst case I'll find a way to mount the metal surround as well and just put white vinyl over it so it blends in.

[@cauabonetto1161]

1 minute and 31 seconds into the video and i'm subbing to your chanel

[@SansP3ur]

That's Bad@$$. I'll be curious what you will do with the other two blanks (Loupedeck? Sensor Panel?). I'm subscribed to find out.

[@davidkline1441]

what is that macro pad link plz

[@gabiballetje]

While the see clear PLA works, would it be even better with clear resin printing ? It prints much cleaner, less lines. Probably not very noticeable, but still.

[@camshand]

Yes resin printing clear parts are the best as it cures each layer at one and solid. With FDM printing, light refracts off every path left by the nozzle so you really need to perfect solid infill paths and print speed for layer bonds. I don't bother too much and it comes out a milky white on my parts. Resin would be a lot easier to get clear prints

[@gabiballetje]

@@camshand But how much of it will you notice really. Mostly it might be better for if you are screwing around with it regularly.

[@charliebrown8596]

whats the name of the macropad?

[@trevbai]

what is your wallpaper?

[@CideoGamingVideos]

the panel above the keyboard should become a touchscreen display

[@clipso9061]

tgat focusrite better be used

[@captmulch1]

Hmmm, why not just create a slot and mount the sound gear as is?

[@weskergamerz]

GREAT IDEA ONE MORE THING BRO CENTER RGB BOX ARE BLANK PUT SECONDRY MINI SCREEN IN THAT BLANCK SPACE

[@camshand]

The Centre panel will have a screen so good guess (unless you watched part 1, in which, well good memory haha). The right panel is still being finalized as there's a lot of different parts

[@justinbouchard]

bro. you're taking your interface out of the farraday cage it's in LMAO. what are you doing lolol i don't even think i need to watch anymore to already know the results you're about to experience bahahhahahah

[@crodles]

how do you not have more subs?

[@valiantred]

RACK MOUNTED INTERFACE!!!!!!!

[@hempstead.studio]

FIRST COMMENT BABY I LOVE THIS AND I LOVE YOU!

[@istemihanmp]

that was one of the strangest titles i ve ever seen

[@jonasv328]

I think taking the audio interface out of the metal case is a bad idea.

[@camshand]

Great point,I thought so too, but after chatting with one of the guys that built the MOAD with teenage engineering he said he's had no real interference issues removing audio gear from enclosures. So for now I'm going to test it and see, worse case I create a little bracket that'll hold the red metal outer over the electronics

[@MrSporkster]

So this is what it's like to have unlimited money.

[@spinkey4842]

that's cool and all but you got no room on your desktop

[@puresound_br]

oi

[@wileyisswag3477]

I'm sorry but by the way his tools are organized I already know he barely uses them

[@yigawaffle]

What do you mean? They're just neatly arranged. . . .

[@andreimadalin2526]

interference??
