Standing Desk Build

I am building a desk based on the FlexiSpot E5 frame, using melamine coated particle board to make the desktop. I will use iron-on melamine edge banding on the outside of the wood so that the finish is uniform. I will add a 3D printed SKADIS pegboard mount, a 3D printed bag hook, 2 monitor arms, and my computer. This desk will let me work on projects whether I am sitting or standing and finally give me my own place to work.

If you only need to purchase the USB hub and webbing, please only ask for those items' funding.

Hey, it looks like you've already bought these parts, which might be the reason why you're insisting to buy from Amazon. Unfortunately, this does not matter, as you should've at least verified with us to make sure that your cart was up to our guidelines. Instead, please go and find similar items to what you purshed on other retail sites such as aliexpress and alibaba, and include those as what you need to buy.

It looks like your cart screenshots don't match up with you bom's repo?

Hi there. Unfortunately, we cannot fund 3d filament through a grant, you can apply for reimbursement once you've printed your parts and passed build review. Additionally, please add images of your project and an extensive description of it to your README, as well as a BOM.csv file and your source STEP/STP files, thanks!

Added a Github Repo

I put all of the things that I have bought and will buy into a spreadsheet. Same with things I have 3D printed. I put it all on GitHub so that I can submit for funding, as I still need some magnets and cables. I have not added a picture on the GitHub, but I will once I fix the ethernet port and make it look good.

Fixed the audio

I had a difficult problem that I needed to solve. The desk speakers that I use would not reach the subwoofer on the ground, which connects them all together. The right speaker has a proprietary connector which I could not extend, but the left speaker had an RCA cable that I was able to extend. However, the one that I needed to extend was the right one, which would not reach. So, I swapped the left and the right so that they would both reach. I ended up having to use equalizer APO to figure out how to swap the left and the right channels so I would still have spatial audio.

Cables

I ended up doing some cable management, which took a long time to get it looking decent. I also had my dad‘s help running an ethernet cable through my wall to the main router so that my computer has a good connection. I also installed a cable chain that I 3-D printed and added magnets to make it stick the desk can now go from standing height to sitting height with no issues with the cables. I might eventually print an underware cable management system if I can get reimbursed for the filament.

Mounted PC

I finally got my PC mounted! It wouldn’t fit on top of the desk, so I knew I had to mount it on the underside. That way, all of the cables could stay with the desk when it moved up and down. I tried a few under desk mounts on Amazon, but none of them worked the way I wanted them to. So, I went online and bought some webbing and clips and made my own. Now it wraps directly through the frame and attaches securely to the leg of the desk. It does tilt a bit, but it will not bother me as I will not be touching the PC other than to turn it on and off.

How much was the grant for this?

Added more stuff

I finished assembling the desk, assembled all of my monitor mats, mounted by monitors, 3-D printed the mounts for and attached my pegboard, assembled my new chair, and plugged everything in for a test.

Built the desk

I worked with my grandfather to build the desk. We assembled the frame, got the wood from Home Depot (they cut it for free), lined up the frame so the desktop is centered, ore-drilled all of the screw holes, screwed the desktop to the frame, wired the desk, and used edge banding to seal all of the corners. I also moved my rabbit downstairs to give me room to put the desk.
