@@uchiaslaya7 Well.. yes to a extent. To design it. But to make it, i seams like most of the manufacture work was pretty simple. The CNC machine did pretty much all of the hard work. Even considering that, doing this at home with a hand router and a thinner plywood and a bit of drawing on it, should not be that hard. Even if you miss a bit, most of the routing is on the inside, and the one that is not, is on the under side. IF you miss by a few cm it will not be visible and it will not really effect strength.

@henribrillon4240 Год назад

Very cool build! The only thing I would change is to put the I/O port on the left side of the desk. Two reasons for this: 1. most people use the mouse with their right hand, thus leaving more room on the left side of the desk for accessories; 2. most headphones with only one cable have the cable attached to the left ear, so it would make more sense to have that side attached to the audio plug.

@kataseiko Год назад

I have put a USB port with hot glue under the desk on my left side for that exact reason. I am very far from "no clutter" though.

@@aarons3380 Having one doesn't mean it's necessary! It could eventually be used for a different kind of setup, like with a or multiple speakers, something like that, but the idea of this desktop is to be the most wireless possible, so what I say is not off topic

@evertopandus Год назад

Yay for more furniture! Something related to my day job (Furniture designer). A couple options to make a cleaner look and less hassle install/maintenance would be to have a built up edge on 3 sides and then the bottom is held on with fasteners+inserts. The metal legs and even the monitor stand could be modified to accept a black plastic wire cover strip on the back side so that wire feed through is minimal. The Baltic Birch 5x5 is no longer readily available these days due to the Russian import bans (so if you are getting it don't rely on it long term). But the same methods can be applied to a pre-existing Ikea desk top and routering out 70-80% of it and adding a bottom cover.

@RichardArpin Год назад

Ikea desktops are not solid, they're mdf around the outside 6", with a cardboard honeycomb core. Just an FYI.

The QI standard actually has a free-position variant of their charger with overlapping, hexagonal coils, where you can actually freely position the load on the surface. It's quite a few years old, and not a single implementation has ever surfaced. Without specialized ASICs it would also be very costly, although even the 8-layer PCB would already be either way.

@gmaiI Год назад

what about the tesla wireless charger?

@graealex Год назад

@@gmaiI Just a surface with multiple coils, but no free-position afaik. Most current designs allow free position in one direction, by using three overlapping coils - which helps with better phone compatibility where the exact vertical position of the receiving coil is unknown. That's as far as current QI ASICs go.

@AiMR Год назад

@matsv201 Год назад

The simplest solution is proboly having 4 resivers in the keyboard, then a number of transmitters in the table. Then have them in a position that when one lose contact the other turn on. Say if the one in the table is 1 unit apart the one in the keyboard is 1.5 units apart. And 1 unit would be exactly twice that of maximum distance in width. That way you can move the keyboard pretty much anywhere and it will still charge.

@@Garagantua Yes, I've seen that. I just don't think that you need to exchange I/O that often. At the point when USB C is outdated, you probably also want to replace the monitor and the peripherals with something more modern and need to rewire everything anyway. At with the tower next to it, you don't need to worry about replacing GPUs, SSDs etc, so it is as future proof as such as such a setup can be, I'd say.

The mind, and memory is a crazy thing. Watching this, I kept having this twinge in the back of my head. Then it hit me. ALLLLLLLL the way back in middle school (close to 40 years ago), I had a woodshop teacher who essentially did this exact thing (without the tech, obviously), made with a pair of sandwiched 2" butcherblock sheets. It almost perfectly hid every cable for his phone (rotery) and electric typewriter. His had more hidden draws as he didn't have the power delivery needs, but the project was essentially the same. Very cool memory, so thank you for that. I remember that the classes helped put the entire thing together. Easy "A", and a lot of fun. I'm pretty sure he took that desk with him when he retired a few years later.

You mean just add the Framework modules? That's genius. That would be the cleanest option by far. You could 3D print a housing to go inside the desk to accept the modules, align the USB-C connectors.

It's decent but not perfect, I've implemented the same thing for my desk. All the qi transmitters I have tried don't really work well through anything more than 0.5" thickness (even though they are all advertised to work up to 30mm/1" thickness). I'm also not sure that simply putting 9 transmitters side by side would increase the charging radius if they are all on separate controllers - though I'm no electrical engineer. It was a ton of work but at the end I am very happy with the results given how jank of a mod this is. Probably never going back.

I can do this at home without a CNC machine, just use 3 plates or if you want additional sturdiness 4 so you have 2 plates for the channels and 2 plates as bottom/top plate. I've been planning on making my own desk with some metal (welding) elements for the edges and a glass top, may be nice to incorporate some of these idea's as well (If I ever do I'll try to remember sharing it at the LTT forums for others to learn from the mistakes I make and possibly improve upon the design and execution)

@matsv201 Год назад

The issue is that you really can't get any thinner than 6mm in large sheets. I found some 3mm at 300x900 sheets. Of cause. If the charging go through a 6mm playwood, that would be perfect. Its cheap, sturdy and easy to work wirh. Just glue in loads of channels with stips of 20mm playwood between. Maybe a few screw inserts to make it possible to open it. But of cause. If you just have to mill away 2 or 3mm here and there wirh a 6mm playwood sheet. That would cut down on routing work quite a bit. I want to do a simular set up, but have the computer in the desk. Now I'm more and more leaning to a mobile-stationery set up. So the computer can just slide into the side and conect to two USB-c

I think the freedom could be there if they just figured out how to make cable routing and management easier.

But also yeah, the keyboard/mouse would have to be sold with it, but Logitech has several options for Powerplay. Could be a partnership!

You could probobly get away with using a 6mm plywood, glued channels and just route where ever the charging will be. That would cut down on routing like 90% and the table will be cheaper and lighter. What I think is 6mm playwood, then 20mm channels of.. well maybe plywood then 6mm plywood on the bottom side. Then just a $30 hand router and a stedy hand. Because you only would be routing 4 mm away it would probobly be quite quick.

@ErrorTH Год назад

Cool project! Some companies do "smart tables" by embedding stuff into them but i dunno if they go this far. With some metal profiles reinforcement and proper frame you wouldnt give up rigidity either (and probably could bolt monitor stand to the frame, making it even cleaner. As for pricing, hand-building those is not cheap, especially welding of the frames.

For the "rest of us" adapters and cables can be mounted on the bottom side of the desk "only visible from below".

With laptop+dock I'm considering mounting the docking station upside down under the desk - inside would be cool but too difficult to replace. Cudos for fun practical project and would like more "builders insights" from the staff doing most of the work 😊

@xathridtech727 Год назад

a router isnt that expensive and could make it way easier. the expensive part comes with it being a cnc router. but a band saw or jigsaw could definitly make the "frame" for either a jig for a regular router or as you mentioned you could even make it out of a few hand saws if you a lot of time. it is the great part of tools theres only a handful of reasons to get the more Specialty/powered tools.

Not sure why you would need to 'look past' it as you aren't going to notice it unless you are doing CPR on that specific spot. And butcher block would likely be a terrible choice as thinning out sections of that means being left with slim glued together strips that may not hold at all.
