Very nice job. That was ingenious. I like how you used the tools at hand and researched out the pros and cons of the various parts. The only suggestion that I could add was to make two holes to the selfie phone holder to put two self tapping screws. Your Leatherman has an awl or you can use a heated nail. It would be terrible if the phone were to fall off. Otherwise, continue the good work. I use mine to also scan documents on the table surface with a phone app. Thanks.

Great job, and you make a rather arduous task seem pretty easy to accomplish. My only input would be to check your local Goodwill stores for such a lamp. I found one that offered a large two-level intensity switched halogen lamp (which I removed and used it for additional lighting). Its arms were heavier duty (probably to support that lamp). It also had longer arms than those offered at IKEA. And, as a bonus, there was a 120V power outlet at its base. Yeah for me. Lastly, I picked up a roll of black split tubing, large enough to hold the USB charging cable inside it and snap around the Lamp's arms (the upper/outer arms), which looks great and saved me from taking apart the whole lamp. By the way, kudos for having such a clean desk. I haven't seen the top of mine for months.

@Exercising Ingenuity How long did you let the Gorilla Super Glue set, after pressing down on it? According to the usage instructions, you have to clamp it down with something strong & leave it for 24 hours. I'm getting Loctite Super Glue instead, since its much cheaper than Gorilla Super Glue. Update: I couldn't find the exact selfie stick, you bought in the video & had quite a few issues trying to stick the mobile atttachment of the selfie stick I broke off, to the lamp's head joint with Super Glue(Loctite Super Glue). I wasted the whole bottle of glue & got no result, despite using rubber & string to hold it, which made the thing wobbly for the smartphone. Until I solved it using zip ties, now its very stable. Doesn't wobble, come loose or even break & it says in place! Now I can film my speed drawings with my smartphone for my KZread channel. :)

How has the superglue held up? I know it can be brittle and does not stick to ABS well. You used a lot of it so it might be fine, but I probably would have used E6000 for that joint.

@ExercisingIngenuity

Жыл бұрын

It's held up fairly well actually. But definitely not the ideal adhesive. I've never used E6000 before, is it similar to JB Weld?

@Alkatross

Жыл бұрын

@@ExercisingIngenuity e6000 is a solid rubbery polymer thinned with solvent. The difference is once it dries it is still sticky and rubbery so sticks to ABS and glass far better than epoxy in the long run, Including jb weld plastic weld. Epoxy is not brittle like superglue, but it can still let go of plastics over time, unlike e6000. E6000 is still rubbery after it dries so it sticks better in applications where impacts or stresses are expected. Epoxy may disconnect from the surfaces but E6000 bounces back just a little and can maintain the bond. You can cut through cured E6000 with a razor, but epoxy is like a rock. You can't sand E6000. Each adhesive has it's own ideal application. Such an interesting subject.

There is no way to leave the original cable and connect the charger there?

Yes you can.. It is not as simple and elegant as a low voltage 5 volt USB cable, but you could put a Leviton 102-EP 15 Amp, 125 Volt, 2P, 2W, Connector, Straight Blade, Residential Grade, Black end on it and then plug in your charger of choice. 1) you would be running mains voltage 125V AC to the end and not the low voltage of USB [ So you need to be very careful that you get that connector on properly. ] 2) It would add weight and bulk to the far end of your setup which you would have to engineer a solution to hold it securely. (Velcro would probably work fine) 3) You would then have to deal with the extra length of whatever charging cable plugged into the USB Charger. (Which again Velcro ties would probably help there.) www.amazon.com/Leviton-102-EP-Connector-Straight-Residential/dp/B0026GHSD8
