[@sighbru]

I've been dwindling off watching electronics on KZbin because 90% of the content is watered down, they skip over the in-depth build process, the challenges and solutions along the way, like you said, the iterative process. This video is the perfect mix between technical depth, the journey of problem solving, awesome factor, and entertainment. By far the best DIY electronics video I have came across in a very long time. Top work Cam!!

[@camshand]

Thank you for the kind words! It is a very tricky content area to navigate all the factors you mentioned. So I'm glad to hear you've enjoyed my style 😄

[@KonFilms]

This has been such a satisfying build series to watch, looking forward to see what the custom PC is going to be like!!

[@themomorain]

Your are right focus on cable management and the foam underside and it will be so cool!

[@camshand]

Yes, I spent some time this morning at least getting cables off the floor. But I want to unplug everything now that the tech is in and make clean runs to ensure minimal interference for audio cables. Haha yeah the corflute needs a long edge for the front. I'm thinking of getting a 2.2meter piece of metal that can act as a straight edge and screw over the bottom front, making it all seamless. Always more to explore and refine!

[@themomorain]

@@camshand Dang sound like a plan. I really like this project. Its such a cool look with the frosted plexy. Keep it up!

[@lego_minifig]

This would be my dream project if I owned a laser cutter and had any confidence in soldering. I would love to make a highly customized solution like this. Maybe someday... Never had any formal training with CAD software, but as a graphic designer I have plenty of experience with Illustrator, so I use practically the same method for designing complex 3D printed mounts. I recreate my precise bits in illustrator then import that SVG into TinkerCAD and kit bash everything together.

[@santiagobuitragocorrea6608]

Not only did you create a video showcasing this awesome project, but you also provided us with the plans and models for it. Awesome content!

[@FrancoAlcudia]

"It's not gonna fit" hahaha, the moment you realize you forgot something and now you have to think about another solution, good thing it was a "little" change, 12:29, that was literally me waiting for it, man hahaha, I'm so excited to see what you do next, that custom PC is gonna be awesome I know it for sure.

[@camshand]

hahah ohhh my heart couldn't take it much longer. Very happy that each solution didn't take too much reworking. Custom PC is going to be really fun. Just like the desk, I've never done a unique PC case, but I feel I've got most of the skills required now to pull off my idea! 💡

[@Mersh_mellow]

This has to be singlehandedly one of the coolest desks I've seen.

[@camshand]

Gotta agree with you there Eddie 😜 but I may be based haha

[@balmungmist1969]

Loved the entire process. Killed it.

[@transatlant1c]

Amazing stuff mate. I’m saying “I was here” now, so I can come back in the future at 1 million subs and revisit

[@camshand]

Let's see how long it takes! Took a few years to hit 1K, then a couple for 10K, now we might smash 100K in the next year. Seems KZbin finally found the cool people 🤙

[@zenoooo]

i was here!!

[@ultraviolettp3446]

AMAZING! There is nothing like building custom items for a desk for the specific tech you use. Great video and short enough so as not to bore the viewers. You are truly gifted!

[@freshnelly]

Bravo!! You really captured how it is to fit existing tech into a re-purpose or different enclosure. Back in the days before 3D printing I did a lot of this type of thing and have gained a lot of experience over the years, not always successful, but that's the incentive to improve (I bricked an $800 VST player once!) With that knowledge, I would say you did very well!

[@mitchellharmer9732]

MAAAAAATTTEEEEEE!!!!! So bloody stoked to see this all come together! Got those chills with you. Good luck w/ the cable management, with the amount of tech you're cramming in it's worth looking into some form of cable labelling. My desk is a dual display PC and Macbook setup run through a HDMI/USB switch (via thunderbolt dock) and the takeaways from a tonne of cable management iterations over the years due to component failures and moves would be; - Draw and maintain a labelled wiring diagram, both intended design and "as built" once done. - Label each cable at Source, Output and mid-run. Especially important if you end up using more than one plane (X/Y/Z) - So you can hotswap cables ideally have each managed seperately. If not, then manage groups applying "seperation of concerns" - In an ideal world I'd find a way to use "junctions" to seperate "zones" and run appropriate length cables between. The idea being that if I wanted to swap my monitor cable I just have to swap the cable from [[ Monitor Desktop Junction ]] rather than having to remove the entire cable run back to the PC. This would have been invaluable when the DisplayPorts on my GPU went and I had to swap to the HDMI and USB C outputs. - To minimise wear and tear from bumps and day-to-day vibrations on ports/connections, fix and secure as close to the port as practical. Love your stuff man and pumped for what else you dream up.

[@camshand]

Man those chills are like nothing else 🤩 Awesome tips, thank you! I for sure should add some labels, at least to the lighting and speakers which have specific sides. A diagram is a good idea, I've done it in the past on my previous cable management video a few years ago as it just got confusing even sorting out powerboard loads. Great idea with a junction box,, even running a switcher for my monitor would be handy as oh how I hate trying to reach behind it! Looking forward to sharing the custom PC build with you next 😁🤙

[@JoeCastellon]

This video was so wholesome. It's the first I see from you and I promptly subbed. Thanks for sharing your talent.

that turned out great! now that you have some more experience designing enclosures and brackets, maybe make a bezel for that touch screen in the middle! awesome work dude

[@gedoumazoutsuki]

that project is what i dream of, almost, a ship like design. goodjob m8

[@arstulex]

Yeah, the Stream Deck is basically one large capacitive touch screen, and each button has capacitive rubber on the bottom (the material you find on the tip of those cheap phone styli). The Stream Deck knows which button you pressed based on the area of the screen that was 'touched'. It surprised me when I discovered that too, but in retrospect it makes so much more sense than engineering buttons that each have their own individual displays. It's actually quite genius. It's a pretty simple design that achieves a more complex appearing result.

[@camshand]

Yes amazing design idea, and got me thinking about how you could also make custom dashboard displays by simply putting an acrylic or wood faceplate with holes cutout to view a TV behind it. So coool!

[@CheckTechNow]

This is awesome!!! Wow i m folloowing this project since the begining and i have to say that this is the best setup I have seen
