Wireless charging desk mod

[@aesthriatea5023]

Plan on doing this for a wireless mouse and keyboard, I'll just put a QI wireless receiver into the USB C port and mount it to the rear. Thanks for this!

[@camshand]

Awesome idea! good luck with the project 😄🤞

[@carlotta4th]

That paper trick for testing the allowable charging distance is a really good tip! I've been wondering how to figure that out since chargers vary so widely.

[@camshand]

I owe that one to snazzy labs, I remembered it after seeing his wireless charger video. Its a handy method for sure

[@CarAudioInc]

dope video! If you're planning on doing this, I'd suggest getting a top bearing dado bit. that way, once you're done making your shape, you don't have to worry about the shape anymore and can just run it along the bearing on the outsides and nibble away the center for each pass.

[@camshand]

I have seen them! They're probably the next bits I need to buy for future projects especially if they're viewable routes

[@wombat1238marsupial]

A great piece of DIY. It relieves some of the clutter of a busy working desk😊👍👍

[@camshand]

That was the goal wombat 👍 Now I just need to keep that part of my desk clear haha 😉

[@SLT4K]

I love this 🙌🏼 I have a standing wireless charger on my desk but having it IN the desk would be so cool! Awesome work Cam 🙌🏼

[@camshand]

Yeah I've had a couple traditional wireless charging pads, but I like to keep my phone just out of sight, or else I pick it up for every notification 😂 however don't think everyone will get taking a router to their desk and making a mess like I did haha

[@disolsole9847]

Why do I watch other KZbinrs do this, you do it so much better then they do. Good job :)

[@camshand]

Was a fun project! Thanks for watching

[@Mithernal]

This guy needs some more subs and views

[@camshand]

🖐😍 THANKS, I'm hoping 2021 see's some good growth, I did go from 600 to 4000 subs in 2020, so the channel is getting bigger! Appreciate your support man

[@SocialHardware]

Clicked the like button before I even started watching just because I knew it was going to be another great video! Awesome work mate!

[@camshand]

haha dude love it! smashing that like 😉

[@Saroku1000]

I hope in the future they will sell desks that already have holes for wireless chargers

[@camshand]

Yeah that's be a good idea, just a cut out where you could mount your own. Especially as they advance in wattage overtime you can upgrade it :)

[@pink9655]

Great vid cam!

[@camshand]

Thank you! Was a fun project idea I've been meaning to tackle, so handy to have it now

[@chawlingtechtests6101]

Great video mate ! and perfect DIY

[@camshand]

Thanks mate 😀 I've thought of it for a while and finally got the tool to get the job done! Now to add the other wireless chargers around the house, never make things easy 😂

[@chawlingtechtests6101]

@@camshand Next DIY " I bought a Tesla and made it wireless charging " 😂😂 i'm pretty sure someone thought about this idea

[@MAIKUS07]

awesome video !!! what is the app's name you are using to measure the power that's getting from the wireless charger?

[@CarAudioInc]

ampere or summin like that

[@camshand]

Yeah that's the one: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gombosdev.ampere&hl=en_AU&gl=US

[@MAIKUS07]

@@camshand I couldn’t find the iOS version of it , is there or do you recommend one?

[@facuaw]

Amazing result!

[@googgiguy5780]

Great idea. I'm about to build a custom desk myself after have horrible luck with the Secretlab Magnus. Looks like you have the IKEA hack desk, but you actually had the desktop attached to the cabinets? What hardware did you use and how to you go about doing that?

[@camshand]

Oh it just sits on top, I took the 4 black plastic feet that come with the IKEA ALEX drawers, drilled holes ontop of the drawers and put the feet on top to give a little spacer between. As for the benchtop, it's not from IKEA, they overcharge for their SOLID wood tops, go to Bunnings or a hardware store and they should have cheap SOLID WOOD kitchen benchtops. These wont sag, and like in the video, can be cut or routed to your liking :)!

[@LukasNoel]

Great video! Can you use a normal drill to make the hole?

[@camshand]

Kinda haha, you can look up Drill Router Brackets, there's a few things which will allow you to use a standard drill. I think the benefit of a plunge router is it's speed, it's really going when cranked up. But I don't see why a hand drill with the right attachments couldn't make it work, will just take more time, precision and patience to achieve a the same result :)

[@LukasNoel]

@@camshand Thank you so much

[@om-li6jp]

Yup another awesome video 😁❤️❤️❤️

[@camshand]

Dude glad you're loving it! 😊✌

[@AbstractAbsorption]

Nice, though this is exactly SnazzyLabs' video I think

[@camshand]

haha I did see that he did pretty much the same thing! I probably got the idea about the paper from his too, either way not the first or last to put a wireless charger in a desk, just a fun little project :)

[@francoismentec4260]

In what wood is your desk? Walnut?

[@camshand]

Its an Acacia panel, they sell them in the kitchen area at Bunnings in Australia. Best value Solid wood tops for around $60, could try with a veneer panel and scrape out the infill, but a solid wood benchtop would be the best option if doing it. However to be honest, I rarely use the charger as I now try to keep my phone away from reach when working to stay focused haha. But it's a neat trick

[@FlorinAciobanitei]

Does these overheat and use power when is nothing on charge?

[@camshand]

Naah, the coils aren't on at all when on standby, there's only a LED light showing power, but will go from green to blue on the unit I have when it's actually charging 👍

[@someonetooksoultan]

super cool vid, love from hungary!!

[@camshand]

Hey Mate! Thanks for checking it out 😀 Hope all is well on your side of the globe 🌍👍

[@saihaanhabib5475]

Please review the dell inspiron 13 7000 2 in 1

[@camshand]

Hey dude, I don't have a contact with Dell to review their laptops, however I do have a laptop review coming up soon so keep an eye out for that one 😊✌

[@icoolsnake]

Can u do for a 2.4GHZ wireless keyboard or mice charging dock like razer viper mouse and Asus Falchion keyboard. NO MORE WIRES! :D

[@camshand]

Yeah I should upgrade to the wireless version of my G502, and get rid of cables, just the simplicity of them always working no matter what has kept them on my desk for now haha.
