Did You Know There's Plexiglass Inside Your Computer?
I'm testing a new tips and tricks format. Let me know if you like it in the comments.
In the episode I show that there are a few useable materials inside old flat screen computer monitors. You can find a plexiglass like plastic and some other diffuser sheets. It's worth opening them up before you send them to the recyclers.

Definitley want to see more about this! It makes me want to start taking old things apart again!

@Makebuildmodify 4 года назад

Good to hear! Thanks!

@EricEllenbrook 6 лет назад

Just wanted to chime in and say that this is the most useful video I've come across in a while. I've taken apart two monitors I've found in the trash and gotten the plexiglass out of them. One was about 1/4" thick and the other was 3/8". That's saved me a ton of money! I'm making a lamp out of one of them right now. Thanks so much for this awesome tip (and hopefully series)

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

+Eric Ellenbrook Thanks for the feedback Eric! That's great to hear!

@WorksbySolo 6 лет назад

I like this format idea. You might consider adding a little brainstorming session in there too. For example, what you might use those old TV parts for. The phone stand is a good one!

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks Bernie! Brainstorming might be good.

@davestrain1762 6 лет назад

More, for sure! We have tear down days at the Makerspace and it's amazing how much good material and components can be recovered from items like these. Keep up the good work Justin!

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Yup, all sorts of good material to be had. Thanks Dave!

@jake9716 6 лет назад

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks for watching!

@oojagapivy 6 лет назад

This was good to know. We have so many old screens at school that just sit around not being used. I like the idea of a "did you know", because I didn't know this.

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@jamesfischer5512 6 лет назад

Yes, I'd like to see more 'Did you know' videos. I like to use parts of worn out devices for other purposes. Thanks.

@dogwoodtales 6 лет назад

Good information to know. Keep up these videos and keep them as short as the project allows. I liked that this one was to the point and not some drawn out time lapse of non-value adding footage.

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks for the input!

@charlesmorris100 6 лет назад

Hell yeah I wanna see more!

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

@justinprewitt245 6 лет назад

Go for it man!

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@Jonanthebeebarian1 6 лет назад

Excellent video... gotta keep my eyes out for dead flat-screens now! I could use those diffusers for a project I am working on right now and EVERYONE loves to have a nice sheet of plexiglas in the shop. The 'DID YOU KNOW' idea is a great one... Perfect for suggestions from your subscribers... everyone who makes stuff has one or two of these in their back pocket.

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks! Asking my subscribers for suggestions is a great idea.

@socrateresorts1963 6 лет назад

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@matthewprince6157 6 лет назад

Yeah I think that would be great! I can't tell you how many times I've watched a tear down or a build video where I went, " I didn't think of that but that solves the issue I've been having."

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@karodora 6 лет назад

Do it! I loved this video.

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@hafunui 4 года назад

I'm not sure if it has already been mentioned, but that first "diffuser" is actually a fresnel lens. Useful for diy light panels! It focuses the light a little bit, thus projecting the light farther.

@Makebuildmodify 4 года назад

Yes, that's correct! That would be a good use case.

@Alzaz1337 6 лет назад

Love it

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Thanks!

@ericlee1624 6 лет назад

I definitely dig the idea. It'd be awesome if you included instructions on how to properly dispose of the electronics of them afterwards or some project ideas, even if it segues into your next build.

@Makebuildmodify 6 лет назад

Cool, thanks!
