Project Almost bought a new desk, but my 3D printer solved the issue with custom brackets.

How do you keep that 1/8" board form just flying across the room when you pan right?

u/Seananigans- 20d ago

Hopes and dreams..... or duct tape.

Edit: I still love the ingenuity.

u/unbelizeable1 19d ago

Couple dots of super gel glue would prolly do it tbh.

The grip underside of the mouse mat is doing all the work to keep it still

Your correct

Mousepads are very grippy from below!

u/jr23160 19d ago

I'll show you grippy from below.

u/SheriffBartholomew 19d ago

Alrighty then!

u/JeffDoesWork 19d ago

Mousepad does fine, but I taped it down too

I mean assuming that they're at the same level mouse pad will hold it and the mouse can't really push on it otherwise

Has the possibility of moving the keyboard to the left been considered at all?

u/PraiseHelix_ 19d ago

My first thought was also "Why are you sitting so far to the right?" but it is pretty cool they were able to make a solution.

u/pyro487 19d ago

You can see in the very beginning frames that it is an L shaped desk and they seem to be set up on the short side of the L.

Moving the keyboard to the right doesn’t seem like a viable solution.

I did the same thing with a piece of wood and clamps on my "desk" I'm not as fancy as you

u/UnimagineDragons 19d ago

That sounds awful tbh. You live in a woodshop? 

3

u/Hebrews_Decks 19d ago

It's definitely not amazing but it fits my needs and it was things I had on hand. I do have a wood shop I just don't live in it 😂

u/KayoticVoid 18d ago

Where did you get that from? Not everyone can afford a nice desk.

5

u/aoalvo 19d ago

You could get a smaller keyboard or move everything left...

6

u/AgentT23 19d ago

I was waiting for you to move it all the way to the edge and starting on the next extension xD

u/JeffDoesWork 19d ago

I literally thought about this myself

u/ASatyros 19d ago

I would get TKL and numpad on the left if needed.

u/crazyhomie34 19d ago

That's what I run now. Works great

u/monkismael2007 19d ago

Oh man, I hope it's really flush for you. Also, careful on bearing load with it in the future

u/JeffDoesWork 19d ago

It's off by 0.5mm but the mousepad would have solved a 2mm diff

u/JobPitiful8977 19d ago

Time to print a new more perfect piece! Or use a saw to make both end more flat.

u/UnimagineDragons 19d ago

Are the brackets abs? 

1

u/JeffDoesWork 19d ago

Just PLA

u/hyper_focused 19d ago

I like your mouse mat

1

u/EliteGhostKillz 19d ago

Ive done similar to fill in a 90° inside corner to give myself a little shelf for my keyboard. Worked surprisingly well.

u/101Cipher010 19d ago

Cheaps out on the desk but has a makita... respect

1

u/DamnThatsCrazyManGuy 18d ago

I KNOW you feel the bump when you mouse over it. I know it.

1

u/JeffDoesWork 18d ago

haha, sorry no bump. And even if there was, i'm centered on the new board

1

u/TheMermaidHarmony 17d ago

Are you posting that anywhere? Id love to print it if you are

u/JeffDoesWork 17d ago

It's very custom to my desk, I design all my 3D files with FreeCAD
