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!

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?
@CriticalRoleHighlights
@CriticalRoleHighlights 4 жыл бұрын
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.
@Spykersan
@Spykersan 7 жыл бұрын
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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
