HUAH!
Calm down
I am a doctor

hold this
the bad news is that you're dying
what
but I can save you
HMUAHH!
chyaa
*cracking back*
oahh!
whoa
wooooah oh my gosh
I can seeeee
What a relief
Thank you Devin!
Thank yoooouu!
Ahhh, this is awesome
Wow!
this is amazing
it's true the science is clear
sitting is dying
and I spent a lot of time behind my desk so I was really excited to partner with FlexiSpot
to get their E7 Pro Plus standing desk
as you can see it's big it's beautiful and it has its own pegboard be still my heart
I've been using this desk for a few weeks now and I'm already a huge fan so for today's
video I'm going to show you how I used a bit of 3D printing to customize my desk setup
to perfectly suit my needs so let's get started by taking a look at how this desk came together
the E7 Pro Plus assembly process was fairly straightforward it's basically just screwing
together large components and it took me about 45 minutes I actually spent more time clearing
off and removing my old desk I also got straight into 3D printing upgrades because I just can't
help myself so I printed these TPU foot covers to protect my wood flooring before flipping
the desk into place the legs are really robust and heavy plus I chose this massive 78 inch
wide bamboo top so it's definitely a two-person job to flip over now I can test out the lifting
mechanism
and it works great the motors are operated using this premium keypad which is really
nice and simple with a height display and the ability to program four preset heights
there's also a child lock and even a built-in USB charging port
the E7 supports over 350 pounds so even with my complete desk setup the motors built into
the legs could lift it all up with no signs of struggle it's smooth quiet and lowers just
as easily so I can still access my entire pegboard wall
that said there are still some things I want immediate access to and for that I've got
this desk mounted pegboard this pegboard was super easy to install with these two screw-on
clamps and it comes with a ton of useful accessories by installing the pegboard on this side I
also have access to the back effectively doubling the usable space that plus the fact that it's
magnetic gives me a lot to work with but there was still one special accessory that I wanted
custom made since I own several cameras and 3D printers I have a lot of different SD cards
and thumb drives here's the solution I had printed for my old desk and it had some cable
holders that worked alright and these guitar pick holders which are kind of unnecessary
the design was also a bit delicate and some parts were starting to break so while I did
the job for many years I decided to take this opportunity to design a new organizer and
here it is I quite like the hinge design on the official FlexiSpot accessories so I borrowed
that idea for my addition mine is split into three parts for optimal Printing and these
little hooks just pop into place all the cards are easy to pick in place and once installed
this thing is firmly attached to the pegboard so it works great and this Yellow Matter Hackers
Pro PLA matches the color of those steel parts really well so I'll probably print several
more accessories with that filament as needs arise
I also replaced the included screw covers with these ones I printed using GreenGate3D's
'Devin Montes Cool Grey' just for the aesthetics the pegboard is definitely my favorite FlexiSpot
accessory but I did get a few other useful upgrades as well for a little bit of extra
storage I also got this bamboo organization set it comes with this cubby a picture frame
and this drawer I installed that under the desk with a few screws and it does provide
some convenient space but it is fairly small so the pegboard was definitely still a must
for me
there's also this cable organizer for underneath the desk which is really nice for keeping
all my cables off of the floor but some of my plugs were a bit too massive so naturally
I ended up 3D printing some standoffs so I could make extra space for all those massive
plugs and that pretty much did the trick
I may still end up mounting my PC to the bottom of the desk to really keep things clean but
this is already a huge Improvement for me the next thing to deal with was my monitor
setup as you can see here I have three pretty big monitors since I've got my Mac, a PC,
and this extra monitor that I mostly use for managing my live streams and screen recordings
add the pegboard on this side and the speaker on this side and even with this massive 78
inch desk I still have to be considerate about how I use the space my solution was to take
this third monitor vertical with a custom 3D printed stand this scepter brand monitor
doesn't come with a stand for vertical mounting but fortunately it is very lightweight so
I was confident that I could 3D print a remedy that said there wasn't an obvious way to remove
the existing stand so I just started removing screws and nearly pry to this back panel apart
before realizing that there's a smaller removable panel on the stand itself that hides these
two screws for much easier removal whoops anyways I measured that monitor to make a
rough reference model in Fusion 360 where I also designed these feet and I didn't do
many calculations here I just tried to intuitively come up with something that would be strong
and stable enough to securely prop up the screen my secret weapon is QIDI's CF-Nylon
filament which is extremely stiff and strong it's also kind of pricey so I printed this
rough PLA test part first the fit is great and just the one side on its own is already
fairly sturdy so with both feet this should definitely do the trick using that CF-Nylon
filament with a 10% infill each foot is just under 50 grams which is about ten dollars
of filament in total thankfully these worked out on my first try and I think the look suits
my new setup really well so much so that I also designed a matching phone stand it's
got this passive amplifier for the speaker and it also works in landscape mode which
lets me plug it in for charging the CF-Nylon is definitely overkill for this but I couldn't
help myself it just looks so nice to complete that look I even printed this tiny cable clip
with that filament this can clip onto most cables and then with some double-sided VHB
tape on the bottom I can stick it right onto my desk this way I can tuck the cable out
of the way when it's not in use but it won't fall off the desk so I can easily access it
that cable charges my wireless mouse by 3D Connexion along with their 3D Spacemouse which
is a super fancy device that lets me smoothly navigate 3D space in applications like Fusion
360.
it's pretty wild
and with that you've pretty much seen my new desk setup I'm honestly loving the quality
of this FlexiSpot desk and the amount of space it's given me and of course the fact that
I can effortlessly switch between sitting and standing is a huge Improvement for my
comfort productivity and for leading a healthier lifestyle originally I wanted their four-legged
E7Q desk but it turns out the two-legged E7 model provides plenty of stability it can
handle all of my monitors and everything else on my desk and it's really open underneath
so it feels nice and luxurious so thanks to FlexiSpot for helping me level up my workspace
and if you're interested in doing the same now is a great time because FlexiSpot is throwing
their spring sale with site-wide discounts and if you use my exclusive code in the video
description U.S buyers can get an extra 15% off on orders over 500 and Canadian buyers
can save fifty dollars FlexiSpot also offers a 15-year warranty so they're confident in
their products and a little pro tip the pegboard works on all sorts of desks so even if you
like your existing setup that's still a great way to upgrade your space again I'll put all
that info in the video description along with links to my 3D models and more thank you so
much for watching you're amazing and I hope you'll be back for more fun projects coming
up soon until then take care stand up every once in a while and stay inspired
bye now
