This is how Monitor Stands should be...

[@EricRtheModFather]

The Hollyland LARK M1 would be great for streaming VR and making video. I am saving up for a new camera right now so can really afford to get anything else. Winning would allow me to stream VR until I can afford the new camera to make videos. After the camera and wireless mic I am going to get a 3d printer to make some items to help with my muscle disorder. I love your videos on the tire rim showing the fails is nice to show that not everything goes perfect.

[@properprinting]

Hi Eric! I’ve got some awesome news for you. We went through all comments and decided that you are the winner of the Hollyland LARK M1 microphone! You can send me an email or DM me on Twitter or Instagram to get in touch. Congratulations!

[@EricRtheModFather]

@@properprinting Email sent. This is awesome! Can't wait to try it out streaming VR.

[@properprinting]

I especially like that this enables integrating custom features, for instance a USB soundcard. If you have a suggestion, let us know!

[@razerow3391]

ports are on the back for cable management. It's normally not advised you plug anything into the passthrough unless it's just for power... But you knew that right? Tbh I wouldn't trust a 3d printed stand. Just seems rather r*tarded to spend money on a decent monitor and then make the stand mostly plastic... I mean sure if you are going Aldi Budget like you've gone it makes no difference... But for those of us that use a PC a monitor is more important than speakers.

It's what gives 3D printing it's real purpose, it's so rewarding to success on this

[@madsrgsniper]

My six year old would love the mic. he has been doing KZbin video's and shorts for a little while now just with his phone and has become good at editing his own video's.

[@BoopyTheFox]

Honestly stacked monitors setup is underrated. 3x side-by-side is still king for most scenarios, but 2x stacked is the the most useful "specialized" setup for monitor speakers, narrow/busy tables. Add a portable 11.6/13 inch touchscreen monitor on a VESA arm attached to the side of a table and it's a perfect multipurpose setup. Top monitor for "standby/monitoring" tasks Bottom monitor for primary work. Vertical touch monitor for either social or misc tasks.

[@ronbrumble6493]

I started 3d printing when I was given a second hand monoprice 3P, after some serious mods I had it really dialed in, and got better results than the original owner. Now, I have a Resin also. Add to that my love of tinkering and DIY projects at home and this video really had me hooked. Totally love the idea of making your own monitor stand, can't belive I never thought of that. Now, what does all that have to do with a microphone, well, nothing really. But my daughter is making videos, streaming, and a photographer. I would give this mic to her because honestly she would get so much more out of it than I would. Cheers, and keep these great DIY vids coming.

[@michelvangent3683]

Altijd leuk om te zien dat een 3d printer niet alleen voor serieuze prints gebruikt word. De monitorstandaard is een leuk voorbeeld, niet omdat het moet maar gewoon omdat het kan. en uiteindelijk is het toch nog handiger dan de standaard versies.

[@faalzin]

just got into 3d printing myself about 6-9 months ago. love the custom monitor stand, now you got me thinking about making one for my setup

[@sumguy2858]

I like the way stainless looks with the black bezels of the monitors.

[@dfgaJK]

9:26 The monitor mount relying on the layer adhesion of that one black section looks a bit sketchy. I hope it 100% infill!

[@3DMusketeers]

LOVE the work on this. The RGB, the thought put into it, and even the REALLY nice stainless tube. I like how it is simply over engineered! You have a lot of confidence in the prints though, I dont know if I would trust them, but if it works, it works! NOW TIME FOR MORE RGB! It makes everything faster. I would love that Lav mic, it would help me with better audio, but I do not NEED it. We have a Tascam DR-10L that I use for my main lav audio and it works fine. It should go to someone who needs it! Would love to compare it to the tascam one day though!

[@thejonesyman]

It's nice to hear people like you don't always think of a 3D printed solution first thing. Sometimes it takes me far too long to realize I can design and print my solutions.

[@LaurensWuyts]

I like the idea of adding LED's to the base of the monitor stand! Maybe you could add some integration, so they display the current progress of your 3D printers. Do you like the stacked setup? I'm wondering if I should try it as well, to save some desk space.

[@properprinting]

That's an interesting idea! I like a horizontal setup more, but that's also what I'm used to. For my current setup, this is the best option.

[@pringineer1027]

@@properprinting WLED should enable you to easily do the print progress thing I think but that prob won't work with the Corsair strip

[@LaurensWuyts]

@@properprinting Thanks for giving me your experience! Love your channel btw.

[@PhilippensTube]

This is why I like your videos so much! Instead of doing exactly what other 3D printing KZbinrs are doing, you're doing your own thing. Keep that going! This is real content. That is one sick stand you designed and build! As usual, you also show the problems you encounter and your mistakes. We'd make the same mistakes, or new ones, but we're humans, right? I'd like to win the thing you're giving away just because I'm a greedy bastard. I didn't even know what it was, until you mentioned 'microphone'😂 so I definitely need one. Also, my name is Mike, so ginve me the Mike!

[@blackenr7ge]

I'm an aspiring content creator and that mic would open up alot of possibilities for me. Love the stand by the way.

[@ocrab6947]

I teach 3D printing at our college and those mics would be a step-up from the old one when I need to record lectures, also that RGB + audio combo is begging to have a synthesizer response, really get the rave vibe going

[@Mikey-Likes-I.T]

I like that you gave a low budget option for the tube.

[@jrfreeman11]

I really like how customizable and applicable it is. One of the most under utilized areas is the stand so well done. As for the microphone, I plan on using it record my parents and in-laws for my kids. I want them to have some recordings events in their life for my kids.

[@welshdave5263]

2:50 I love it when I'm thinking "oh that could work as a cheaper alternative" then it is mentioned in the video.

[@tobins6800]

Making monitor stands for the audio monitors, at ear height, properly isolated from resonances, would also free up space on the desktop. Possibly to add a tablet or similar connected to octoprint for monitoring the printing room.

[@its_arvinsingh]

I’d love to have a wireless lav mice because it would help my videos a lot as a small growing channel. It’s super frustrating having to use wired lavalieres and edit in the audio after the fact. It makes syncing the video audio pretty and time consuming. Also wireless lavalieres that are of good quality are way too expensive for me as a teenager. Love your videos dude they’re so inspiring. Makes me want to modify the crap out of my printers!

[@HackMonkey]

I am digging the monitor stand idea! I have 3 wide, and one above. Having 3 monitors sitting on the desk is annoying, and 3 wide stands are stupid expensive. The 4th is mounted to the wall. This gives me some ideas! I could really use a wireless Lav Mic! My current $20 Sony is always strangling me, or getting yanked out the computer! The ability to connect to a phone, DSLR, and computer opens up lots of options, and the 2nd transmitter would be a huge bonus when one of my kids wants to jump in!

[@ShannonGraceM]

I'll be honest, never heard of you, was thinking about upgrading my monitor setup and BAM! This video appeared on the suggestion card after the last video I watched. Very cool idea! I'm glad it's stable, and you have my empathy on the short cables, I've taken to just spicing mine together. It's not ideal but it creates less e-waste.

[@RebelPhoton]

Very interesting idea, I've also been disappointed at the market options for monitor stands. Flimsy designs, no triangulation... You pay premium for extra adjustability that goes to waste the moment you find your sweet spot for your setup and never move them again. That's why I'd rather design custom 3d printed brackets that are rigid and custom-oriented for your sweet spot. But I'd go for something bulkier than the black ones holding those monitors... Those are definitely not over engineered 😅 The mic looks great, I don't have any wireless mics so I would stop messing with cables any time I want to record some dialog.

[@fx622b]

yup, 3D design & print at its finest. Innovative as it gets.

[@michaelmitchell4574]

I found you channel after watching cnc kitchen I do find your content more interesting and the fact that you 3d printing makes real world applications and you give anyone the confidence to try making 3d printed designs, I would love to add the mic to my list of stuff I have be getting to start a KZbin channel about cooking gluten free for people with or without celiac

Get yourself a garolite bed my friend. Petg won't warp off it. I use it on 10 printers without any problem. Love your vids! Thanks!

[@simonreidis]

you could always reprint the bottom part of the stand with room for weights. that would add a lot of stability

[@gannas42]

I bet you could also mount those speakers or custom speakers to the same stand to free up more desk space. Or maybe some sweet mounts to put them up on the wall? Now that you have all that build area it opens up a lot of options! Thanks for sharing!

[@brianmi40]

Doing a similar pole mount system for a monitor in my van conversion that will rotate around and face the wall for attachment when driving. I'm using a bicycle seat quick release clamp in the design so that I can move the monitor up and down on the pole as desired.

I am trying to create a series of KZbin videos on how to program a Lego robot as well as a FRC robot. I bought an onn podcast mic to do the audio but it really isn't the best suited for the work. If you have a suggestion for a free video editor that would be nice. If I end up getting a bigger 3d printer I may very well create a similar stand.

Thanks for this inspiration on this one! Only, in my implementation, you'll see that I turned things upside down a little bit. Search for ' "a-frame monitor stand" printables'. Note, rather than using SS tubing ... I used some extra I K E A plumbing bits that were around.

I think you need a brace at the top of the mount to the wall .. when you were showing the product with your arm on the table there was movement . Cheers and BEERS!!!

[@ajistewart]

i think one addition to an already fantastic and seamless setup would be to have an additional USB on top of the stands base for a usb microphone and another usb run up the centre to another usb panel mount for a webcam plug. other than that, its a fantastic product and would actually like to see something like that come to market. its one of those areas where manufacturers rest on the laurels and don't innovate - only other product ive now seen that comes remotely to what you've created is the new Corsair flexible OLED monitor which has an ok front IO interface. well done :)

I really enjoy all your content, the great attitude is influencing!

[@kaya1777]

Reason for wanting to win that microphone: I think it would help me a lot in the portability for my interviews I am doing for my study. I have been interviewing people for my study in game design and my current go to daily driver is my HyperX Quadcast. Reason for this is that it has a great omnidirectional pickup pattern. But it is a bit bulky and uses quite some of the space in my backpack. It also requires me to have my laptop with me. The total package becomes even more if I need video for my interview as well. And seeing that this is compatible with Android and my camera makes it possible for me to have high-quality audio and video with just a smartphone.

[@dobieag01]

That's a pretty slick design. I didn't think it was going to support both monitors but that looks like it worked really well! I'd really like the microphone setup as I'm really hoping to start a youtube channel for 3d printing, cnc and maybe some hunting videos as I'm trying to get into that more. Thanks for the awesome content and all the crazy projects you're doing!

[@zaly0u7ube]

The stand looks great an added functionality is just what I would like in future monitor stands, a little bit to flashy with RGB for my taste but that transparent case reminded me of those NES consoles, like in Seth Everman collection :D Another idea for your video are currently boring and partially useless notebook accessory that are cooling stands, at most they have USB 2.0 HUB integrated, merge it with those Thunderbolt dongle accessory with 2.5Gb Ethernet, SD card reader, additional 3.1 USB and display ports, you could even add M.2 connector for fast SSD inside.

[@bitsurfer0101]

It seems like a nice idea to have both monitors stacked but they seem a little high. The top of the monitor should be at eye-level should it not?

[@JoeAverage5]

Love the leds and white plastic look. Could use the mics to greatly up my audio game. The Samson go mic doesn't seem to cut it 😆

[@Moscitonest]

I would have added a clamp feature to the back of the base, to clamp or hook it to the table and prevent it from tipping over. Besides of that great work and good to see that I am not the only one who has to iterate designs in order for them to work as intended. I found that the number of iterations always is three. A natural constant as it seems.

[@properprinting]

[@HoloScope]

I was looking to 3d print a sleeker vesa stand for my monitor and it's a bit much for my needs, but it's really cool that you can design such a thing. I hope i'll be able to design cool things now that I have a 3d printer. Also the hollyland mic would be very useful for me, I actually wanted to get a new mic that picks up more audio for my meetings since I move around a lot and it would also be useful for when I'm doing PC build streams since that requires a good amount of moving around. I didn't know such mics existed, but I'm very interested now even If I don't win at least I learned something.

[@Aeriant.]

Awesome stand! If you make a V2 maybe you can add a speaker you can use as a center channel and maybe a phone stand. I've always ignored the IO on monitors because they're so hard to reach. I've been wanting to get into voice acting and I'm out a lot, So I think a wireless mic I can use with my phone would fit me perfectly.

I love the idea and the work you've done! As a heavy multidisplay user myself (heheheh, five in fact! 😁 ) this does give me some ideas. I've always chosen to go with either wall mounts or mounts installed at the corner of the table or through the table. Keeps things handy and additionally clean looking. PS. Round aluminium table legs can be used for monitor stands pretty easily. Cheap, sturdy and quite nice looking also. Some even can replace or extend original tubes in monitor stands!

I would probably still put a C-clamp on the back side of it to clamp it to the desk.

[@thomaswiley666]

Wow, I thought the most boring part would have been the user. (joking... or am I?) Okay, really great job. If you like where the stand is right now and thinking about it being the permanent location, you could drill into your table and make the post/pole pass through the table for greater stability. I have been making something like this but designing the stand to act as a universal docking station for our laptops. My design is to make a docked laptop look like a vertical stacked book with my other books. Oh, please don't pick me for the mic giveaway (which probably occurred already). No one wants to hear me speak.
