    It seems like everyone is ignoring you and it is sad because this is the way of doing it. 3 of my friends who don not have any of the source games (except for garrys mod) have done this and it has worked for all of them.

    yeah XLR from what i remember needs phantom power ( its how its called ) and the 6.3mm will probably work, but the audio level will be very low is because it cant provide enough power to the mic. Phantom power provides 48v which the audio port cant do

    Mattie432 reacted to F.A.T. in First Scratch Build - ECS MODMEN CONTEST   
    Since being a goldsmith has not so much to do with making a computer, I have been busy making a piece of jewellery I could wear at the computex ;) . A silver keyboard ring with my initials on it. If you would like to see how I work as a goldsmith....again.... just scroll down ;) !

     

    I made a wax ‘Ideal’ keyboard key and casted in brass. Then I made a rubber mould and made more wax keys.

    These keys were casted in silver, so you can mass produce silver keys ;) !

     



     



     

    Here you can see the casts. 

     

    This is what I want to engrave.

     



     

    First finish the keys.

     



     

    My logo.

     



     



     

    I still had 3 tiny diamonds which I will set in the ring.

     



     

    Here you can see different surface techniques.

     



     

    I have enneald the silver so I can bend the material easily

     



     

    Then bend the silver and solder it together.

     



     



     

    To make the ring round you have to hammer it.

    To make the backside of the ring more interesting I have stamped my initials in the silver plate. 

     



     

    First I started with drawing on my logo. I made a ‘light’ engraving with my milling tool (sort of dremel). 

     



     

    To cut away the logo I used a engraving tool.

     



     

    These 2 elements will be the frame of the ring, I will have to solder them together.

     



     



     

    A silver plate that goes across the gap so the keys will stay in place when I lay them on, and solder them.

     



     

    After you solder the silver there are a lot of oxides, so I always use a chemical to clean the material. It makes the silver look snow white.

     



     



     

    Cut away the extra material.

     



     



     

    One of the diamonds, they are so tiny!

     



     



     

    Soldering everything together. 

     



     

    I wanted the letters and my logo to stand out more, so I used a chemical which makes the silver go black. If you sand the material afterwards the lower parts will not be schratched so will stay black.

     



     



     

    Now only finishing and than set the stones.

     



     



     



     



     

    And the final result!!!!

     



     



     

    Hope you like it!

     

    I also made a few goodies with me to Taiwan to hand out to people there. It was a very interesting day ;) !

     



     



     

    The lasercutter.

     



     

    First a few testplates.

     



     



     

    The real stuff ;) !

     



     



     



     

    The lasercut goodies :)

     



     

    Interesting day :D !

     

    I’m very happy with how the build turned out! If I would have had more time and knowledge that I now have, I would have perfected it.

    But I’m already thinking about my next project, so maybe soon there will be a new buildlog ;) !

    Mattie432 reacted to Complx in [Build Log] RGD - Custom Built Surround Monitor Stand   
    By: Complx

    Reasoning:

    The basic idea for this project was was born out of frustration out of seeing what was available on the current market, a lot of triple monitor stands I saw were wildly expensive.  Some cost $300 or more and even after spending that much money on these stands, you still would see people complaining that their monitors that were mounted to the outer arms would often sag and not line up correctly.

    Another thing I noticed about a lot of these stands was a complete lack of added functionality to the user, besides just holding the monitors, they often would have no real added value or function to them, the only exception that I could find in my research was the XFX Triple Monitor stand, which incorporated 2 USB 2.0 hubs and a Headphone and Mic jack into the base of their stand.

    So after a bit more research, I still could not find a monitor stand that really offered what I was looking for.  In all honesty the XFX stand would have been almost perfect, but the price was a little off putting and I found out that they don't make it anymore.  Also, the places that still do have it in stock are charging even more for it than before.

    So I have set out to design and build a monitor stand for myself that can support up to 4 monitors!

    Research:


    As stated before, I did a fair amount of research for the project before i started the real work.  There seemed to be 2 "go to" companies when it came to monitor stands, though I know, and looked at, many more.  Ergotron and Ergotech seemed to be the big two.  But a lot of their models that supported 3+ monitors can run up in price. ($200-$300 or more)

    One of the issues I had with these off the shelf monitor stands right now is the "sag" some of them tend to have, especially when it comes to the arm which the 2 side monitors (Left and Right) are often attached to.  To compensate for this, a lot of the monitor stands have VESA mounts that allow for height adjustment to help line up the end monitors with the center one.




    While this was a good solution to the problem of sag, I felt the bigger issue had not been dealt with, just kind of patched over.  So this was one major area I wanted to focus on, rigidity.

    The next issue I had was for the price, these stands often lacked additional functionality, besides holding the monitors in place.  As mentioned before, the XFX stand had a USB and sound hub built into the base of their stand, which I really fell in love with.   So this was the second thing I wanted to focus on, added functionality to the user.
     


    The Hardware:

    For this project, I went out and purchased 3 23.6" Asus VN247H-P monitors, the main reason I wanted these was for how thin the bezel was on them, Asus claims it has less than 1cm of bezel on either side.




    I have these monitors purchased, but I will post some images of them later.

    The Concept:

    So for this project I will be using a material called extruded aluminum, very light weight, but very strong and very rigid.

    I have made an initial concept model in CAD program to make sure I have a lot of the measurements and tolerances worked out before I purchase the material and start the first steps of the build.

    These first 2 images were the base I started to work with to get an idea of how I wanted to lay out the main supports.
     




    Then I started to work out some of the details on how it would go together:
     




    Right now this is the most current version of the project in CAD form, there are a few more elements I wanted to incorporate into the model before I start the prototyping and building phase.  

    As it stands now I still need to figure out:

      - Cable management of the power and video cables

      - Incorporating speakers onto the stand

      - Designing the USB hub which will be at the base of the stand







    Here is a WIP shot of what the speakers might look like when mounted:  (Please excuse the gray block, it was a place holder model for my 4th monitor.



    Stay tuned!
