[@Basement_CNC]

for your organisation problem i LOVE the toolbox + gridfinity way yes it takes quite a bit of money and time, but it is worth it 10 times

[@jongwonlee4728]

can you combine TOROIDAL + TUBERCLE to creat new FAN..?

[@fx-991DEX]

I think for the SMD Components make a excel spreadsheet where all of them are Included, so you can look up what you have at home. Maybe also seperate them into some boxes and note in the spreadsheet in which box they are.

[@g-kats6331]

Make picture of each object on some background with scale. Put a label next to object like it was CRIME SCENE picture. I did that with my electro junk. Now when I look for something I just browse trough image files. Label should have item ID + container ID. I see an image and I know what it is and which container to open. At the begining documenting your loot takes time but later any new things should be inserted into database right away.

[@SMARTDIY_video]

for the acoustic panels, look at the DIY percks ones. I would probably have put the editing desk in front of the window and on the left side a huge table along the entire wall and also the corner if necessary with drawers and shelves underneath. on the right then I would have added something like the library where you put the printers above

[@thesketchspace]

I keep all my ICs in a cabinet with small sliding drawers and use a labelmaker to label the drawers. Perhaps that will solve your SMD problem?

[@макс-край]

Nice room

[@bkramber]

I've done something similar at my room. The biggest problem is cleaning up after doing something. So, every instrument must have it's own place. Otherwise, you take a big box and put everything in it. For me, the solution is in labeling. I've labeled every box and every shelf. When I bought a new instrument first of all, I think about where it will store. For your small parts, I think the best solution is a few clusters of small boxes with labels on them.

[@StefanSchlott]

There are diy options for acoustic treatment. Often recommended is using rockwool (in a wooden frame, covered with fabric). For example, Thomas Salander showed his build in his "new studio" video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZexlJx_l51qpbssi=7BwrGXnb8IbqByTa&t=205

[@muratkabilov]

I hope you did a timelapse video while assembling the Snapmaker Artisan

[@hreder4149]

If you want an inventory system that will be very useful in the long run, I can recommend the following options. They may be more work to set up, but they give a lot of flexibility and are a joy to use afterwards. They have all the basic and advanced features for an electronic and mechanical workshop. For easy locating and checking of components they have a labelling system with QR codes and scanning capabilities. A demo version is available to play with and both systems below are open source. For hobbyists to small commercial workshops: Inventree as the inventory system and Kintree to automatically populate the data from the main distributors. For personal or makerspace: Part-DB as a simple alternative for small and hobby workshops

[@paulhorn24]

Oh, I remember those in some KZbin videos. Thanks for reminding us of the names of that solutions!

[@watergeting8586]

Diy acoustic panels : - buy a carpet, cut it into any shape, stick it to the wall (do tests first to see where the best acoustics will be) - use wood to make frames, buy nice white fabric for curtains, construction and material are important (wool, cotton will be more sound-absorbing than plastic) - sponges from an upholstery store will also be an interesting option, especially since thanks to the laser you can cut them into any shapes, letters, logos

[@piconano]

For organizing your parts, I would; 1- Get an IKEA book case. 2- Make magazine cases you see in libraries where they archive old magazines on shelves, or make them out of card board or whatever (you'll need many dozens), where you can store your parts in their original bags vertically. they can be like 2" wide and 6" tall or whatever the biggest part you want to store in that bin. make narrow bins for small stuff and wider bins for big stuff. Use the front real state for labels as to what's inside. 3- Store them like books on the book shelf. Each shelves belonging to different categories. Like, Motor drivers, MCUs/ Accessories, Transistors, .... Big stuff at the bottom and lighter as you goes up the shelves. Your new lab looks great btw.

[@IPLAYMTG628]

Print the pannels

[@fundecorstickers]

No młody....prawie od samego początku trzymam za Ciebie kciuki. Wiedzialem że coś z Ciebie bedzie. A co z tym warsztacikiem który miałeś gdzieś tam w lochach na początku?

[@LyndonsWorkshop]

I wish I have that type of setup during my younger years. Back then was just mostly soldering iron, multimeter, and a lot of imagination.

[@the-cpplastic]

I've remembered you asked for help regarding organization of small items since I have the same problem. And I've just come across this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/roO6aGmootWIosk about making a database of electronic components (although it's in Ukrainian, automatic English subtitles are fine). I know, this doesn't help much with the physical organization of the space for those items, but at least it solves the problem of knowing what you have and what you miss for a project.

[@drhender6943]

Looks great! My biggest struggle is always organization. I have a bad habit of starting too many projects and not finishing them, so my work surfaces are frequently cluttered with half finished projects and the tools to work on them. More recently, I have tried hard to not start something new without finishing what I've already started.

[@slabo8171]

To mówisz, że gdzie się kupuje takie kolby, które lewitują i lutują same? :)

[@Toby-fx4gl]

YOu can steal inspiration for organization from your favourite part/component distributors. They've done most of the work already :)

[@jut7030]

Looks like a great space Niko. For the echo treatment, make up some wooden, picture style frames and experiment with different sound absorbing materials in side them. Once you have the best combinations you can make up some finished panels, stretch some fabric over them and hang them. To make them look better, have the fabric printed with some words/logos. It would make a great video to see you experimenting to reduce the echo.

[@ArtturiSalmela]

Diyperks used towels in his acoustic treatment panels. That would avoid any air quality problems like loose glass fibers floating around in the air. Though I don't know if towels would work for bass traps.

[@sierraecho884]

To organize all your electronics you probably need to place QR codes on the pieces and save all the stuff in an EXCEL overview with pictures. Basically create an inventory system like a small store or Amazone. This way you will have a catalogue with all the information you can do a quick search next time you need so parts. So now everytime you buy new parts you use the same picture and information from the vendor you buy it at an copy it to your excel file or whatever other software you are using and you know what you have and can find it again through QR codes or other labels.

[@ElioFernandez]

To me this workshop is so cool. I love it. Great idea!

[@samtheengineer]

wow! this is laterally my dream workshop! great job!

[@cttp]

Nice cable management, Nikodem! Overall - I'm happy to see you've made yourself a very nice space to work in.

[@thesebi]

looks great 👍 btw. i would not show the outside view from your window. There are some people on the internet with the insane talent to find your location based on the limited information they can get from that.

[@DennisMurphey]

Niko, I just assembled a Dremel Drill Press conversion to your Mini Mill. I just got the Z axis on the Printed Dremel holder to move up and down. Using kost of your spindle cradle but I adapted that to the single vertical post of the Dremel Drill Press. I am so excited. Now I need to add some stuff and soon I will carve up a 1939 Model Train Chassis to add on my digital train stuff. This is so awesome. For now I will manage X & Y axis manually. But I do have two more A4988 and motors and covers. And I use Fusion 360 so...... should not be long. Thanks for sharing your creations with us old retired engineers. Is so amazing we are able work together and help each other with such a distance in miles and age. Feeling much younger today. Regards, Dennis in Virginia.

[@D-One]

The audio sounds absolutely fine with that wireles mic, you don't need to make your space ugly with foam all over the place, as you fill up the space it will naturally improve a bit.

[@SharkyMoto]

check out DIY Perks for sound panels, he uses towels that are cheap and they are also white wich would satisfy your requirements perfectly.

[@paulhorn24]

Push this comment to the top!

[@tinayoga8844]

Go to a thrift store and pick up some bed covers or bed sheets. Run a line across the room behind the camera. Have the sheets break up the room into a smaller space. See how that affects the reflections. Try different positions.

[@sbvikings30]

You should check out the orbion cad mouse. Curious to see how it stacks up to the spacemouse.

[@gonzostwin1]

7:19 I think you can use a "hole punch" and make holes in the bag to hang components on a ikea wall

[@jeffreymartin1489]

The handheld mic works great and is good enough.

[@paulhorn24]

cheap DIY ways to reduce echo and reverberation in a room: - Bookshelves and furniture as a wall divider as natural sound barriers. - Sound dampening curtains. - Soft furnishings. - Rugs and carpets to absorb sound waves. - Wallcoverings and thick blankets. To reduce outside sound you can use Acoustic caulk. This is a latex-based product (not silicone-based like regular caulk) and it stays flexible rather than hardening, so it won't shrink or cause gaps and cracks that would otherwise let sound escape. Acoustic caulk can reduce sound from the outside of your room by as much as 15 percent.

[@AJB2K3]

For the SMD components on paper tape, there is a 3d printable dispenser you can use, for none tape, there are SMD interlocking boxes with lids.

[@pgrosebud2012]

Do you have a backup for your "old" computer? Have you looked at a NAS [network attached storage, I use Synology] most NAS come with included backup software for free. Sound: look into using painter's canvas stretchers with colored cloth back by some 1-inch foam. Hung on the walls around your room, they may attenuate the echoes.

[@nikodembartnik]

I don't have a NAS, I am using simple external HDD 4TB each and I have 4 of them and that's how I make backups and store all my old projects. It's a simple and good enough solution for now. But I know that NAS would be much easier to work with. Thanks for the idea for the panels!

[@christambartrueman4726]

Bro build some containers using 3d printed organizer using pet bottle filament which recycling pet bottles

[@JonatanCastro-secondary]

I can recommend the wireless mic Fulaim X5. It’s amazing for the price!

[@kolbakolba]

Elektronika będzie dobrze leżakować: -w tych woreczkach w "teczce akordeonowej" -organizery na leki są dobre dla małych SMD ( z reguły mają 28 komórek) -szufladki na elektronikę -szuflada na akta IKEA Summera też pomieści woreczki z drobnica i pozwoli na opisanie kategoriami Fajnie że się urządzasz w bezpiecznym miejscu, martwienie się czy ktoś nie wejdzie i nie rozkradanie rzeczy gromadzonych latami jest trudne do zniesienia.

[@futurefactoryfuture]

For the SMD Components you could use a folder with punched pockets to store them

[@itsju9476]

Wish i could also build a workshop like that but i dont have money left over cus i started building the indy mill :)

[@StormBurnX]

What is the name of the ikea tool/site you used? I tried to google for an Ikea room designer but couldn't find it, and you don't seem to have a link in the description

[@nikodembartnik]

Link added to the description now!

[@sierraecho884]

Hang rugs on the walls like the Russians xD

[@agasa_workshop]

to organize SMD and THT components you could: 1)Use wall mounted electronics drawers, they are a bit expensive, they work great for small stuff, not that great for bigger things but there are different sizes 2)If you wanna go with a cheaper route, you could consider partitioning some of your drawers to accommodate multiple small parts boxes (like the ones that often come with THT components on Amazon), those boxes are really cheap and you can modify them to fit different sizes of stuff, not everything but most components will fit, it works better for things of which you have a large variety tho. I keep them like books in a bookshelf but rotated in the drawer, you could even do it with an actual shelf. 3)I personally did not manage to find them but from an old video I've seen that there are binder sleeves with slots and little flaps on top to prevent the content from leaving it's designated space, I've seen them both big and small (similiar to playing card sleeves and to photograph sleeves but with the additional flap) and those look fantastic to organize and store many different small components *edit* There are sleeves with flaps for coin collecting apparently ;D

[@paulhorn24]

Great ideas / suggestions!

[@theoldknowledge6778]

Congratulations, Dude! Amazing LAB!!!

[@pokpikchan]

Nice. Informative

[@kane587mad]

You don't necessarily need full wall coverage for sound dampening. Just start with the corners and some patches on the walls 90° to your common position.

👍 good

[@Ender_Wiggin]

that is a 9 year old computer if not 10 years old. I have the same pc. it is very sad :(

[@nikodembartnik]

it's not that bad

[@TheCreat]

Just from watching other channels, I've seen people clip that portable mic you have to their Cap. It is close enough to the mouth that the sound is nice, but you don't have to hold it the whole time.

[@iznasen]

4:41 It's nice to see someone else putting the right speaker on the left 😂
