Im sorry but if you were an executive in an engineering company you wouldnt be so hyped about this.

All the people here are getting ultra hyped even tho most of it is rather basic engineering work. Just look at his last video, this camera lens thing, some guys in the comments are right now loosing their minds on the "precision" and "build quality" altought its made of 3D printed parts and aluminum profiles. This is just because 95% of the viewers are complete outsiders to engineering or any kind of metallwork or electronics so the stuff he builds looks like black magic, to someone actually working in industry its possibly entertaining but not very exciting to be honest.

I have a tip for you on cutting Walnut or any wood for that matter on the cnc. If you rough cut it 95%- 99% of the final dimension and then finish cut that last 1-5 % with a sharp single flute down cut End Mill it will give you very crisp and clean top edges and virtually no hand cleanup necessary. Depending on what you're cutting you might need to change that percent a bit but that's what I use most of the time. I use a compression bit for the rough cut so that it keeps the bottom nice and clean and doesn't blow out the top fibers as much

[@jessegriffin9]

Cool tip man.

[@tomb816]

Thank you for saying it. So many content creators have started using CNC routers w/ little knowledge of how to properly implement tool usage. Always use a rough end mill first and clean-up to the final dimensions w/ a finish bit. Running around all the edges w/ a chamfer or round-over would've been a nice touch, too.

Man, this was just AMAZING ! Found your channel while searching for What to do with my old laptop; and when I saw you collabed with Arun, I was like : Damn, I gotta watch this thing right now !!! And this project was really one of a kind and extremely impressive. Kudos to the team, Keep going :)

[@Razza2250]

Great design! my only concern with this is the property of PLA to "creep" under pressure over time. When used as a spring, PLA will tend to relax into the forced shape and stop providing any tension at all. I'm not sure what plastic you used, but if its PLA this is a possibility

[@Ratsnake]

That is exactly what my first thought was. I have had that happen to me. It's a bummer that all this work will probably be for nothing.

[@johnmiller2905]

@@Ratsnake All for nothing may be a bit extreme. As long as he didn't glue them in, all he'd need to do is give Arun a box of spares to use as needed. Or if it became too problematic, he could always choose a different filament to print replacements on.

[@jordyv.703]

@@Ratsnake All for nothing? he just needs to print new ones in a better material if they actually are PLA.

[@foldionepapyrus3441]

@@jordyv.703 Probably doesn't even need to do that - the plastic will creep, but only to the point there is very little spring tension so as long as the same phone goes back in its own slot every time it doesn't matter it will grip well enough to hold that phone (or a thicker one - as its not holding the weight of the phone at all, just providing a slot the correct width for the phone). A few replacement springs over the years as they fail to do the job on the new phones cycling in isn't a hardship, plus a bit of hot water and you can reshape the pla spring to again provide more spring if as needed. p.s I do agree though PLA is not the best choice for this use case, especially if you expect the shelf contents to be very dynamically changing.

[@jordyv.703]

@@foldionepapyrus3441 the springs are pushing the phones upright. If they get weak, the phones will start standing slanted. It's still gonna work, but it's gonna look bad. But yeah, I didn't think about just reshaping it with some heat.

[@jingarjay8754]

Ah yes, DIY-ing a roomba.

[@tonieprawda]

I was thinking there will be some glass in front

[@AmirRazan]

@@tonieprawda In front of what, the phone shelf? If so, I would imagine a one-sided mirror glass as a display panel for the shelf so that it makes the mirror from behind have a infinity room effect on the phones while still being see-through on the other side of the display.

[@SnakPakFlight]

What a tremendous use of time and resources for something that doesn't make life that much more enjoyable. But because of the effort and expertise that went into this, it is one of the most amazing art pieces I've ever seen. As the customer said, there's nothing in the world like it.

[@fabian_57]

This is really AWERSOME. One more thing could be a little sensor to detect if there is a phone placed in every clip. This would help the database store better real time info and cound offer a nice interface over the shelfs status. Besides this little consideration, it is an absolute beast of a project

[@jamalabdisalam8578]

the sensor wouldn't be able to spot the phone name/type so in the end they would still need to log the data in the database at which point you might as well log the clip location manually.

[@hfgd_gaming]

@@jamalabdisalam8578 you could just just do it with something like those magnet cables. You "only" would have to route one of those to every slot, and have the respective adapter thing in every phone. Attatch all of that to a (a little bit more powerful) server and you can look up which phone is connected to which usb port = slot

[@MetalDevil1912]

A really unique solution. The whole "phone select spotlight" is brilliant 👏🏻 👌🏻 There are many of the projects that you've put on your channel, I'd like to try out for myself. But currently I'm renovating our house, so the diy projects I have in mind, must wait a little bit. Hope you're planning on, doing more of those giving old electronics new life videos. Keep it up Matt. Great content 👌🏻

[@doctorlovera]

Such a big built and it is already half full. Those facts are proof of DIY perks and Mr.Whostheboss trayectory. The work with lights and the database is awesome.

[@jessbaumung6541]

This was fun watching two of my favourite KZbinrs in one video

[@sandwich2473]

Honestly, considering there exists similar kinds of things for video cards, it's strange how a ready-made modular solution doesn't already exist on the market 👀 Very cool

[@Dato-64]

I would guess there are solutions in China, since phone farms are a thing in Asia. But probably not intended to take them off but rather power them.

[@matk22]

That's beyond diy.... This is complete profesonalism to its highest standards.... The ingenuity and crasftmensship is on another level Well done....

[@crazykittenvideos855]

If only there was a way to get the one you’re looking for to ring. That would be freaky! I think the potential fire risk of trickle charging that many phones would be a bit iffy though! Great project very well solved. I think we can all agree on two things: 1, great work of great quality 2, that dude has too many phones!

[@The_Linux_User]

Well, I thought of a way to do that, but they would all have to be on and charging the whole time which is not ideal and the implementation is kinda bad, and my current solution would only work on Android

[@iHelpSolveIt]

@@The_Linux_User perhaps not... If memory serves all that need happen is a p Temporary "charge" boost to start the phone. That would have added a common rail induction charger which could be ennumerated for each phone from the db information and once it starts both android and iphone can be tricked into cli mode on startup

[@The_Linux_User]

@@iHelpSolveIt but most phones, when they are completely empty need a few minutes of charging before you can power them on. This could maybe be too long

[@iHelpSolveIt]

@@The_Linux_User possibly but you have your fallback in what I assume is the manually located physical address?

[@ko-Daegu]

not the phone ring but a small led screen can also have a speaker that rings but dunno the reason for all of this when only chosen one get lid

[@BeefIngot]

Small note on the plastic clips that might never get seen: Plastic creep might be a concern over time, with clips getting slowly looser and looser as the plastic grows closer to its stressed shape

[@evolevil1]

but they are easily removable, like in 2 seconds.

[@BeefIngot]

@@evolevil1 How does that solve the problem? When would they know to replace things? Would they know how to get more/have access to the files? Is that something they want to have to think about? All of those reasons are reasons why your swift dismissal doesn't work.

[@nrdkraft]

Not only do we get a crossover of DIY Perks and Mrwhostheboss, but in the very same episode we get Lamar and Matt’s dad! Woo hoo!

[@tagni3055]

9:47 LOVE that video glitch!!!

[@_Peperek]

Mrwhosetheboss throughout the whole video has the same expression as when someone fixes something on your pc and you just sit there like: at least i know he feels like it

[@daspec]

Matt, this time you've outdone your "shelf" !! :D Seriously this thing can be sold in IKEA stores by the meter!

[@mcmystix]

Most people do not have 100s of phones...

[@polosandoval]

That lump in the wall at 6:15 could be an electrical power outlet box that was possibly covered by drywall wallboard. I didn’t notice any other receptacles on that wall. Just a thought. Nice build!

[@bjordal50]

or just a lot of drywall mud where the two drywall plates meet
