Upgrade your Desk with 3D Printing (MUST HAVE MODS)
Ғылым және технология
In this video I'll show you how I created the ultimate KZreadr workstation using 3D Printing technology. I created custom storage, under desk mounts and even speaker wings. Oh, and a LOT of LEDS thrown in for... AESTHETIC.

Angus: "And these speakers are 10 kilos each!" Me: rubbing hands together in excitement to see him use 2 kg of filament to hold one speaker. Angus: "So I had a friend plasma cut these wings out of steel!" Me: Gasp! "How dare he use *steel*" 😒

Metal 3D printing is a thing, but it's still very expensive. It works like surgical lasers where there are multiple laser beams converging on a point in a tray of metal powder to melt and fuse the powder into a solid.
Angus you forgot all the nano-leaves and acoustic foam on the wall😂, jokes aside, great job on using 3D printing for sorting small stuffs, trully a place for 3D printing to shine.

nano-leaves are so expensive though. the company MI was making something similar but they said those didn't have a good build. actually you could 3D print and programme to DIY those.
I really like the LED mod and the drawer. Had an evil laugh at the SD card launch though.😁

I used to have my cards in a small plastic box with magnet lid. I mainly use micro SD because they are cheaper and I have many devices that take those. once I droped it at school and it took quite a while to find all of them on the floor. now I use a cloth bag with plastic pockets inside, one for each card. quite like the ones used to keep DVD libraries.
Having the time line annotations was really cool. I appreciate that. I accidentally clicked off and had to come back, those breakdowns made it super easy to pick up where I jumped out!.

getting back on track :)
There's some great ideas in here that I can use to ,odify my old-ish Ikea desk to improve space. Thanks for the inspiration!
A TV I bought fifteen years ago had an ambient light design similar to that, on the sides. It really does add to the atmosphere. Your setup there looks really nice with that monitor.
One of the first things I did when I got my printer was design a holder for my headset and controllers for the side of my desk. You are giving me more Ideas haha.
Great video! I especially liked the under desk mounting ideas. One upgrade that I highly recommend that you consider is a 'monitor desk mount'. I found that it clears up an enormous amount of precious desk space, when the monitor stand is gone. (Also, when I got burgled a few years back, they skipped the monitors, because they had no stand.) Love your content.
Looks great, awesome job. I would highly recommend a monitor arm. Frees up a lot of space on the top of the desk taken by the monitor stand. Think this would be very useful with the limited space you have.

Good to see another video Angus. I bought a cable management tray from ikea and bolted it under the desk and it made a world of difference.
Absolutely love it. I'm saving this video for later. One day I'll have to build a set-up like this.
The new setup looks awesome!! I've been wantng to do the responsive led backlighting for a while but thought it would be too complicated. Thanks for links!!
I feel this video in my soul...my desk setup sucks 😂 Definitely gotta make some use of these prints!
The drawer idea is really neat! A few things I've added under my desk - some USB powered LED light strips for some more ambient lighting, - a powered USB hub so I can charge devices like phone/tablets even when the PC is off, whilst also giving me a bunch of extra ports - cable management tray at the back Also, mounting my 34" monitor on a pole mount felt like it freed up a lot of desk space on top!
Fun to watch while building shelf for 3d printers with 3d printed components
I'm a maker and use many technologies, 3D printers are just one and so I for one was very happy to see all the different things you did. Sure, your channel is based around 3D printing but it never hurts to expand your realms a bit.
I just stumbled across this, great info, I never thought to make under-desk drawers!
Love all the accessories, next is cable management, print somes under desk cable carries!!!!
Angus, your studio looks amazing ! thanks for sharing
I like the ramp for the micro SD cards. That's brilliant.
I really like the idea of the little mounted stuff/drawers on the table! I will definitely try some custom ones for my table top .
Magnum Bullets. Excellent choice of video
I can't wait to see the results of these awesome upgrades
Amazing setup Angus! I'm somewhat spooked on how similar aesthetics our product choices we take, I also just bought the g9 That Joi wallpaper looks sick! It's always a good day when you upload!
Can't go wrong with the old pink and blue neon synthwave look!!
Great video. Nice work station!
Thanks for putting up the Fusion360 models. I've been meaning to come up with my own desk organization stuff and was looking for how to do some more complex designs but couldn't find any good examples, now I have something to look at.
I really like seeing that you have the same design issues that i have. Making analogs to check a curve rather than knowing how to measure and reconstruct a complex curve. I see your designs and think of how much cad training i had forgotten after high school and that my designs are much simpler and boxy than yours. It's always good to see the work that goes into them

Sometimes a box is the best design to be honest, but adding some small design changes can really change the look of an object!
Thank you for the nice ideas. I have the same monitor and never thought of adding ambilight to it. The small drawer is cool, I think I print this one. Thanks!
Nicely Done, Angus.
Great walkthrough/upgrade Thanks for sharing👍😀
Awesome work Angus. I really like what you've done in such a compact space. The automotive carpet is a great idea. Excellent desktop wallpaper as well!
I have such an "Ambilight Clone" for over a year now and i love it sooo much. Never again without it! :D
Fantastic! Thanks for taking the time to share all of that stuff!
What a beauty! Great job! I loved your camera mount for your monitor. And thank you for inspiring us by inspiring yourself.
i haven't watched this channel in forever and i basically never comment on youtube, but damn i was completely shocked by how good your production quality has gotten. hell yeah brother
Great video. Projects like this are exactly what we need right now.
Inspiring how you solve these challenges... I want to fully go into 3D modeling.. Something that can be produce yeah, like 3D printed or CnC... So seeing you're using it this way inspires me.. Especially with the drawer and the new case design you did for the USB hub.. Really inspiring... Subscribed 🥂🙂
looks good mate.
I love synthwave too. Good for you to get this setup built
same mouse and wallpaper, loving it
The car carpet idea looks pretty cool
I have to admit, the audio & video quality of your KZread videos is always excellent. Keep up the good work!
Love that you're using "Magnum Bullets" to show off the LEDs. :D
very cool Angus, the SD card drawer is going to be changing lives, I am totally making one. I have old media from Cameras that I still use since it is fast enough and big enough to be useful but they are a logistics pain.
Whoah, I love that mount for the camera.
YEEES SIR - thank you. Will definitely have a go at the ambilight :-) I haven't seen this before for the PC but have had Philips TV'2 with ambilight for a decade for the same reason.
Awesome job...Cheers Jeff
Well done, mate. I like that you got yourself a nice workplace through creativity instead of just throwing money at it.
You, sir, are a wizard of astonishing talents.

I think what you actually need is a sound level meter paired to an LED strip on your wall 😉 Or maybe paired to a rumble pack (salvaged from an old controller or maybe the vibration component from a phone?) strapped to your ankle. Though the power pack you need for that might become a little bit burdensome after a while... Maybe make it a clip-on for your belt? Stuff like that might even help you catch when someone honks at you while you're walking around town, I don't know if that's a concern for deaf people. I also don't think I've ever heard a honk directed at me to wanr me of danger (discounting those that are simply meant as an insult), but that might depend on where you live. The siren of emergency service vehicles might be another application though.
love your work buddy
Excellent. May I add that you can get the exact curveture mathematically. I'm not going to do the derrivation since explaining this as plain text with no drawing is challenging on its own. Amyways, here we go: Since the curveture of the TV is symmetrical, all we need to do is find the radius 'r' (consider a top view of the TV). To do this we follow these steps: 1. Measure the distance between the end points of the arc, we're interested in half the distance, call it d (d=distance÷2) 2. Using a reference line between the two ends (a tensioned string or rubber band etc), measure the perpendicular distance from the middle of this line to the curve, call that 'a'. 3. Then r=(d*d + a*a)/(2a) A bit too nerdy, but would love to see if that matches the camera holder you made. Awesome channel
I felt it when you were talking about eyeballing while reverse engineering. I always seem to start modeling things that I have no way of remaking without some intense eyeballing
Thanks for this awesome video! ;-)
Nice job on the new setup! I especially like the tripod mount.
as the owner of a 58" 4k tv that I use as a monitor I can feel your pain for desk space. Your setup looks sweet and is very clean. I dig it
Thanks for sharing!! Excellent stuff!
Thanks. Interesting video on how, when you set your mind to something, logic and astetics follow. Midi under the table reminded me of the middle 80's and the CB Radio craze in South Africa. CB mounted under the car dashboard in a similar bracket... and a 3 meter wip antena mounted on the cars bumber....

Bro, thank you! I’ve needed this!
Nice to see you posting again, Seems like we have had similar lock downs I 3D printed a heap of brackets, clamps & chocks to tidy up my AV set up on my Cetus. I also used a heap of those led strips from core electronics for another project. If you watch the ads for the new ch 10 show “Masked Singer” in the frill neck lizards “frill” you will see several rolls on them.
Looks awesome Angus, thanks for sharing :) :) :)
This is a great setup, and it can actually be done, albeit not so cleanly and elegantly, without 3D printing. Lots of food for thought here. I still don't have a 3D printer (hopefully that will change within a few months), but I do have a desk and workstation with similar issues.
Nice Craftbot printer you got there!
Love the setup! I feel like you could have relocated the USB on the card reader but the USB hub setup is probably more useful. Don't diss the Gateron Red switches so much, I love them more than Cherry's honestly. Poor mouse pad tho... My 10$ Chinese desk mat is my baby and I couldn't bear cutting it. Keep up the videos!
Great work mate, looks a million bucks. Grabbed the files too. Cheers, JAYTEE

Trust me, my better half already has a wonderful setup - I insist because they're also a creative!
That sd card drawer is tight! I am pretty darn jealous.
Huh, the Arduino color-matching stuff looks really cool. Been thinking about a single LED strip along either the rear of my desk or the back of the monitor. May have to give that a try.
Very cool dude ! Looking good.. ;-)
I recently completed the biggest print that I have ever attempted. My socket set had the blow moulded tray finally crap out on me. New socket set? NO. Designed replacement in fusion 360 and printed it out on my modded tevo tarantula. Made me really happy when I finished it and put the sockets in
This was so inspiring to watch. Now I truly do wish that I had a 3D printer! >_< I've got a few ideas I want to get done that would be so much easier to design in 3D and just print.
Awesome!
Oh that's hecking awesome :O
The build looks amazing, I'm considering taking some pointers for my next setup! Would you not prefer to wall mount the monitor to remove the need for a stand?

@@Kekmit If you want to wall mount a heavy monitor on paper thin walls, find the beams (u can use a tool for this or just simply knocking in different places to hear the sound). Me and my dad mounted a 30 kg (63 lbs) tv to our walls by simply finding the supporting beams and mounting to those. I think in our house there is one beam every two feet, each house is different though. Every house has beams though, the building would collapse without them
Awesome intro boy.
Brave desktop picture to show
Great project and setup Angus. I'm completely with you on your love of all things LED. That media drawer is fantastic, beats the hell out of the 3P screw top pots I use at the moment, might you be allowing them for free to supporters? (scratch that question) I like to fix stuff to the underside of my desk too, but since it's very expensive (thanks to previous employer) I use hot glue rather than screws, it works perfectly for me, but it also has the option of non-destructive removal too.
Great video, thank you! I just found your channel and hit the subscribe button pretty much right away! Great content :)

I have it to
Angus: You might want to get a short piece of sandpaper (50cm of grit 60 .. 80 and 10cm of grit 150), then make a "round-over" on the edge of your tabletop (eg. the top/front, where your arms rest). I have this horribly sharp corner on my tabletop and it hurts my wrists every day; unfortunately I can't round it over because it's made of a material that does not work well after doing that). Your tabletop seem to be made of plywood, which is why I suggest sandpaper rather than planing. If using a plane, it would create splinters, but if you use sandpaper, the result should be nice. Apart from that, great video; I really enjoyed watching your improvements. - And I especially was happy to hear you've chosen Steinberg and Cubase; awesome extremely professional tools, which I used back in the day where I had an Atari ST. Oh, and about the LEDs ... Each WS2812 LED draws about 50mA (0.050 A). That means a 4A power supply would be able to handle (4A / 0.050A) = 80 LEDs (white, full intensity). If you have more LEDs than that, multiply the number of LEDs by 0.050A then get a power supply that can handle a current higher than that. May I suggest a MeanWell IRM-60-5ST (which I use for my server); it's 5V/10A, thus should be able to handle 200 WS2812 LEDs. This power supply has screw-terminals on both the primary and secondary sides. That means you'll have to make your own mains leads. If you're not yet coached by a professional electrician, please find one and get a demonstration on how to correctly connect a wire to a screw terminal properly (1: Twist, 2: Bend, 3: Insert and tighten screw). The IRM-60-5ST is very robust and the input voltage can vary from 85V AC to 305V AC, so it should work on a standard AC outled anywhere in the World.
Always nice to improve ones work area. You have some nice changes. I couldn't really tell the differences in the before and after shots at the start of the video The one thing I wondered about is the placement of the UR22 and the SD card reader under the table. I might have moved the UR22 to the left of the reader so the cables from the UR22 don't get in the way of accessing the reader. I would also have moved the UR22 closer to the edge of the table to make it easier to see its front panel. I was surprised at the minimal keyboard. I like having a full keyboard with separate function keys and number pad. I had one with extra functions down the left side of the keyboard which I programmed for quick access to a couple of programs and to do switching of my computers workspace.
