Scratch Build Project - The Next Level - Winner MOTY 2012 -

[Paslis]

Hi Everyone,

Its time for another project.My idea/design to build a desk inside a frame with a glass top and without feet ive done 2 times.

Version 1.



Version 2.



I dont want to make a third version so now its time for a new design.This time i go for an ergonomic design.So this is the kickoff for my new project The Next Level.



The idea is to build a design desk that can be adjust in height so everyone can sit at it by simply push a button to move it up or down.My designs always change when im building so here a drawning how its gonna look.



The desk will be watercooled and the hardware is not decided yett.More about this later.
I already bought the lifting column and this is how it looks.











The specs.

• Thrust: up to 2500 N per DL2
• Speed: up to 20 mm/s with CBD4
• Installation dimensions can be seen in the
ordering example
• Stroke length 300 mm, 350 mm, 500 mm ± 4 mm
• Colour: Natural anodized aluminium profiles and
black painted end plates or electro-galvanised
3 mm end plates
• Low noise level
• Compact and mounting friendly design
• Built-in limit switches (not adjustable)
• Dimension column: 147 x 194 mm
• Dimension 8 mm end plates: 160 x 244 x 8 mm
• Dimension 3 mm end plates: flush with the
profiles
• Each column is fitted with a 740 mm ± 60 mm
straight black cable with an 8-pole AMP plug or
100 mm mini-fit cable
• Dynamic bending moment (at 100% stroke
length):
My+/Mx+ = 250 Nm and My-/Mx- = 200 Nm

And a little movie how it works.

Thanks Peter but i hope you dont fall in love with this one like you did with my first desk because i dont want to be the reason you cant sleep again.

I can see your future already: Adjust table, adjust chair to table, adjust monitor, adjust table again.
It should be a cool project. Your other builds were fun.

Thanks Cooler Master and specially Marco.

Also the company i bought the lifting column from has decided to sponsor my project with a second column.

Here a picture wiht both lifting columns.



Thanks Linak and specially Adwin.

Because i was afraid of instability i changed my design.This is the final design.






This week i cut the desk and the side pieces with the lasercutter and i made a little movie.

Below are the pictures of the pieces i cut.I used 3mm aluminium.





Today i bend the piece with a co-worker ( the guy on the picture ).





Then i spot welded the piece together.



















The next thing to do is to spotweld these 2 pieces in the desk and then finsh the welding.





This was it for today.
