what a time to be awake

>>58920115
It's not even midnight here in the UK Seiden what are you talking about?
How's the project going?

You took the effort to clean your desk for this photo but you can't clean those nasty ass walls.

Aside from cleaning the desk how should I improve this space? I was thinking of getting some of them thar smart lights to put on the wall behind my monitor.

>>58920161
Some wall decorations would go far. Give that lonely dalek a friend.

THERE WAS SOME GUY

who had a setup composing of a thinkpad in a docking station, a thinkvision monitor and some keyboard.

Please post the pic again

>>58920143
It's just a bit past midnight here, though I slept until three in the morning, so I'm not sure when I'll be going to bed, if at all. Work should be fun tomorrow.

Base is printing right now, started the print earlier today already, but the feeder tube got loose, so I had to restart the print. Judging by the 30% or so that did actually get printed, it's looking good.

>>58920170
Sadly that is the only poster I can put up on the walls here, the problem is that my landlord is anal about holes in the walls and all my other posters are framed.

I really want to put up some xfiles art see above.

All I can really think of is cable management and lights as both of these things dont put holes larger than a thumb tack in my walls.

I've noticed that things 3D printed tend to look rough as fuck. Is that the case every time or does it depend?

>>58920191
Could always use adhesive velcro?

>>58920206
Comfy as ever.

>>58920207
That's dust. I'd just finished moving the room around when I took the photos.

>>58920233
The frames are too heavy for such things. I tried using those 3M adhesive strips and those too failed.

>>58920241
Ah that sucks. I take it you're not willing to remove them from the frames and maybe use blu-tack to keep them up?

I need to take a photo from my comfy bed station tonight.

>>58920161
Damn, finally a battlestation that looks like a real person really lives there.

I always wonder how people manage to have nothing whatsoever on their desks. What do they do when they're not on the PC? Do they not use their desks for anything but shitposting on Bruneian online cattle markets?

>>58920083

What is this keyboard? I see it posted on /g/ so much. Is it a meme?

>>58920261
Sadly no. The xfiles are is limited run prints and the other posters are just massive. I hate this apartment.

>>58920270
Have you considered that we just use the our desks for what we need when we need it and then pack away our shit when we're done?
I keep all my shit in the two drawers and just get it out when I need to use it.

>>58920269
Comfy bedstation? Yes please

>>58920283
It's not one specific keyboard. It's just a set of gay-ass keycaps.
Tai-hao Miamis if you're interested.
The caps fit on any Cherry-stemmed switch.

>>58920270
>I always wonder how people manage to have nothing whatsoever on their desks
I should be trying to do that as my desk, as you can see, has no storage.

That being said everything on the desk is important to me and gets used.

>>58920333
>I dig the separate kb and numpad, kinda want.
Thanks. I like it desu. I can move the numpad around and frankly having it to the right of my mouse is far more convenient.

That's a very plain desk you have there. Looks nice.

>>58920334
No worries. Enjoy the caps if you want. They are kind of a meme at this point though I didn't realise this until a fair while after I bought them.

>>58920374
How you can stand to use your mouse without a mousepad or at least a wrist rest I have no idea but I like your station.
+1 point for using a coaster.

>How you can stand to use your mouse without a mousepad or at least a wrist rest I have no idea but I like your station.

Thanks. I had, for a short time, a long black mat that I put my keyboard and mouse on. Didn't really make a difference to my mouse but dampened the clack on my keyboard a lot which was kind of a nice side effect. I wear a hoodie 90% of the time which might be why I never seem to hurt my wrists like people complain. My forearms rest across the front of the desk as well, so my wrist is never on the edge.

>>58920510
It's not about them being on the edge. I can't use either for more than half an hour without pain in my wrists even with my deskmat.

>>58920269

faggots

>>58920233
Depends on the type of printer, with your typical FDM printer, I'd say yes. They tend to look rough since it's layers of material built up on each other. Though you can go with a lower layer height, it just makes the print take longer (and uses a bit more material, but that's cheap as shit). Making prints look less rough is a lot in the finishing process that comes after printing.

>>58920333
Yeah I know, the speaker placement is a bit unfortunate, but it's what works best with this desk and the rest of the setup. I'll see about setting them up better when I build a new desk once my living situation changes in a few months.

>>58920542
What do you mean about the finishing process?
Things like sanding it to be smooth?

File: posture.png (17KB, 983x486px) Image search: [Google]

17KB, 983x486px

>>58920527
Hm, that might be more posture related than anything. Optimally you want to keep a distance where your wrists aren't bent at all to use your keyboard or mouse, and your forearms rest flat against the desk leading up to them. Your elbows should be at about a 90 degree angle of your upper arms and forearms. You might also have smaller hands or larger peripherals than I do though, which make your wrist angle more to use them.

>>58920557
Typically sanding it and treating it with acetone (assuming that you're using ABS) to make the surface smooth.

Other than that, there's a whole lot more you can do with it after printing, like friction welding it to other parts and the like, though I wouldn't call that "finishing"

>>58920429
>>New photo? Looks great man. I see you moved your lamp.
Yeah. I've been thinking about doing it for a while, but it has a short cable, so I didn't want to bother fixing everything, but Tex suggested doing it on another thread, and I like that position a lot better.

it's the slider for a motorized camera slider that a friend commissioned me to do.

Thanks actually, now I have something to kill my time with. I still didn't get around to designing the rails.

Here's the first thing I printed. You can see the layers quite well, the little blobs are from printing with a too high temperature.

>>58920905
Neato. Guess mistakes will be made with this sort of thing.

>>58920937
Ayy how you doing bud? Figured out what you're going to do with that desk yet?

>>58920958
It's fairly simple business, I wouldn't say there's terribly much of a learning curve. Just getting to know the basics, experimenting with your printer, and silently wishing that you had one of those multi-thousand dollar models.

>>58920958
Ayeeeeee, wasup mane? All good over here, not bad.

I still haven't figured it out man, it can wait though. There is no hurry at all, I'll just be patient.

I've had a CPU for eight years that constantly ran above TjMax before I replaced that computer with the CPU still working flawlessly. That's why it's hard to believe for me that some ambient temperature that is still well below the suggested maximum operating temperature would do anything to electronics. The most it would do is dry out the wood and speakers would lose sound quality by a measure only autistic audiophools would admit noticing.

>>58923270
Legitimate answer: If you can't get a desk from anywhere local easily; build one. It shouldn't be too hard to find wood if you browse lumber yards/clearance places. The tools themselves aren't expensive; if you can get the sizes you need you don't even need a saw of any kind.

Dude, if it's RGB it's any color you want, but I would advise against blue because that's only good for insomnia, not maintaining alertness.

on navy ships and the lighting is always a low red so that your eyes maintain their night vision so if you suddenly go outside at night you can still see. i think the navy switched from red to blue after wwii so the light wouldn't show up on infrared sensors but I don't care about that. i just want to be able to go from gaming at 2:00am to walking to the kitchen to grab a bento without having to turn on a light. also i want to be able to keep my monitor as dim as possible

Built it as a teen soon after my parents divorced. Both dad and step dad helped a lot and has a really powerful motor that always surprises people, because it can outrun pretty much all the shitty little racing boats people bring to the park. Also with the advances in battery technology in the last 15 years it now lasts pretty much forever. Looking forward to when my children are old enough to teach them to control it. (crashed and marooned it a few times myself, it's a "tough little ship")

hm nvm, looks like sub-80cm depth :S

>>58934524
No, that's a PlayStation TV. You're thinking of the Sony Bravia KDL-22PX300. Even if I did have that TV, it doesn't support HDDs so I'd have a fat PlayStation 2 anyway.

>>58936154
Sure why not

>>58936241
I know acer has shoddy builds. maybe someone here has had experience with this model, thats why im asking

Sry for basic question, but how do you guys place your light behind your desks? Is it like one of those LED-rubber-hose things? A row of LEDs?
I like calm, blue-ish light that doesn't blind me

That's like saying enjoying the occasional boipucci makes you somehow less of a faggot than having a horse dildo on your desk you may or may not use. Guess what: it doesn't.

You're a weeb period.

Thoughts on my setup?

Nothing really exceptional about it though

I just picked up the case you are using a couple days ago. No regrets, she's a beauty.
>>58932403
What wallpaper is that, I like it.
>>58932337
Looks nice and simple. What chair is that?>>58926811
Nice work on the DIY project.
>>58926455
Your cleanliness pleases the shit out of me.
>>58925889
I also posted two photos of the same setup in this thread. How come one is a single monitor setup, other is dual? different era bst?
>>58925791
I don't know where to look.
>>58924985
Humble. Nice triforce.
>>58924952
Good first post. What case?
>>58924701
Might be time for a bigger desk. I suggest monitor mount alternatively. Nice racoon.
>>58924521
I want to hate this, but you have vaultboy in there 3 times. Guessing you are a student in an Asian country?
>>58924343
Don't forget to pirate premiere. Easy on the eyes setup, gj.

Ya did what I did, posted sideways. Change orientation flag by opening image with paint and saving.

Simple. Add something on the wall.

Put PC where Printer is, Mount router on bottom of table using 3M tape. Move printer to where router is. Put External Storage in desk compartment, clean the cables. I like it.
>>58923118
Love that you made a video. and it's a pretty good setup.
>>58922540
I like this, clean, simple. Ditch the lava lamp, Slam a nail in for the portrait, buy an "Anker" headphone hanger. I'm sure there's a better place for your sunglasses, unless you wear them to look at your monitor.
>>58922496
Clean under the desk.
>>58922012
Is that an s340 case?
>>58921763
I commend you for getting rid of that god awful cable.

nice monitors, but the cords and knick knacks clutter it up.

I just moved into a new apartment and set my stuff up like this. What do you think?

>>58939284
Thanks alot anon!

>>58939891
No problem.

>>58934850
Nice. Whats the difference between the k75 and k90 keyboards? Torn between the two here.

>>58939934
nice, ive been thinking about doing a win98 build, or getting a nice old laptop.
do you use the web on it?

>>58940033
This one was Windows 95!

And no, I can't get it to work with my gay ass router. I can build and refurbish computers all day but fuck me I can't do networking. All of the networking shit I learn works fine in class, but when I try to apply it to real life it all falls apart.

>>58940056
sorry to hear that, and i know thats win95, but i myself have a copy of win98 and a 12 year old computer

>>58940102
Yeah I say go for it. I've been using this laptop for college classes and it has been a lot of fun. Sourcing all of the drivers and parts for something this old will be time consuming though, so keep that in mind.

Ambient lighting is cozy af, seems like a nice place to work.

>>58928884
It's almost like somebodies room is supposed to be filled with the things they enjoy.
You should try calming down a bit bud.

>>58938223
Serious question, why not use the straight part of the desk for the computer?
Looks like you have no room for your wrists when you type.
