    Accessory DIY Portable-ish Triple Monitor Stand [Ongoing]

    pretty nice 😀 added a detachable mic mount the mic is angled to point straight at me the hinge is way lower profile than before, stick out less than 1 cm on each side when folded it does come at a cost of ~6mm wider gaps between screens, which i knew when designing it, but it's still...

    Accessory DIY Portable-ish Triple Monitor Stand [Ongoing]

    after 2 months, the mount is still going strong, but i recently saw some single print geared hinge design on reddit and got curious 🤣 so i played around with the design: after a while i finally nailed down the size and form factor, it's surprisingly sturdy and doesn't have a lot of play...

    yeah aliexpress would be convenient for sure. taobao started doing international proxy service but the UI is still quite hard to navigate especially when you need to translate, otherwise you can look into agents like superbuy or parcelup where you simply paste the link of the item you want, and...

    Oh dang just looked up the order numbers buying the controller and panel separately seems to be so much more expensive hopefully taobao links are allowed, it's about $66 USD for the completed monitor and $80 for a binned 'perfect' panel...

    went smoother than i expected 😄 couple of minor issues: 1. main frame needs more reinforcing, it's a bit bendy, doesn't help that i'm also printing at 10% infill right now 😂 2. slight tolerance issues with the joints, doesn't close completely coz i'm printing the cylinders flat 3. 15 deg might...

    I bought this aliexpress 16" 2880x1800 120Hz OLED portable monitor around half a year ago for my Asia digital nomad trip, it's been nothing short of amazing, crazy what you can get for $185 USD these days. However for productivity and coding I often wish for a second or even third monitor...
