What is ergonomics? According to Wikipedia, ergonomics (from other Greek: ἔργον - work + νόμος - law) —the science of adapting job duties, jobs, objects and objects of work, as well as computer programs for the most safe and efficient work of an employee, based on physical and mental characteristics of the human body.

When we work at a computer, our position of the body, arms, head should be in the optimal position for the table, chair, monitor, keyboard. If these conditions are not met, a person quickly gets tired and loses working capacity. The optimal position when working at a computer in the second photo below.

For the correct position during work, the master designed and manufactured a monitor stand.




Tools and materials:
-Transparent acrylic sheet 8 mm;
- Black acrylic sheet 1 mm;
-Bolts;
-Nuts;
-LED strip RGB;
-Switch;
-Battery 9V;
-Glue gun;
-Laser cutter;
Epoxy resin;
-Scissors;
-Soldering iron;
-Sandpaper;
- Hacksaw for metal;
-Screwdriver;
-Printed circuit board;
- "Third hand";

Step One: Design Development
When designing the rack, the master set himself a number of tasks: the monitor is at eye level; Keyboard storage space built-in lighting system for night time operation; The stand does not have to be expensive in value.




Step Two: Cutting Parts
Then the master sends acrylic to laser cutting. Need to do 18 parts. After cutting, the master removes the protective layer from acrylic.









For those who want to repeat homemade the master attached the file for the CNC.

Step Three: Bonding Parts

Now you need to glue some details. Glues the master with epoxy. The master glues the legs and the base part separately.






For ease of bonding, the master made a template. You can download it below.


Step Four: Nuts
Pastes nuts.





Step Five: LED Strip
Now you need to cut three LED strips. Two for legs and one for the upper platform.




Solders to tapes of wire.




For light scattering with sandpaper, it polishes the ends of the stand where the tape will be located.



Glues the tape.






Step Six: Assembling the Stand
The nuts are glued and the master prepares the screws. You need to cut them to the desired length.



Now you can collect the legs.






And fix them on the base.





Seventh step: connecting LED strips
To connect the tapes, the master uses a board made according to the scheme.





Performs installation of electrical parts and installation of components inside the rack.








All is ready.

Well, the flag in his hands. It is convenient for him to grind so, let it grind. Honestly, these are such trifles that if you pay attention to them there will be no other time. In addition, they do not affect functionality.

She glides plastic, and in the next step glues the tape.
What are you really doing! I am not able to understand that an acrylic part is easier to be matted first, and then glued, and not vice versa!
For light scattering sanding the ends of the stand with sandpaper

Once again, for the gifted!
Look at the photo number 9 and, especially photo 10 in step five!
Grinds from the inside!

No, first polishes, then glues. And in the first photo he measures the length, and not glues.
Once, they scolded me on this site for the fact that I write everything chewing, in detail. And now they scold that I do not chew-))))

By the way, Moveton does not seem to be suitable for such a situation, well, as far as I understand this word.

Masculine BOOK Bad taste, bad manners.

And finally, at night I need an extra switch in the light,
In LEDs without lenses, narrowly focused light emission, in this particular case, is clearly not on the keyboard, multi-colored lights will especially help to illuminate the keyboard, I’m silent about the emergency replacement of the “crown” in the dark! The work of the CNC is "excellent"!
For light scattering with sandpaper, it polishes the ends of the stand where the tape will be located.
After gluing? - "bad"
You need to cut them to the desired length.
Holding with two fingers? - "bad"!
By the way, in the photo hands with a screwdriver (how to hold! I'm not.) And hands with a soldering iron are different hands, or did I imagine?

What bad manners are there. I live in a private house. Interior doors with glass and if the light is on in the room where I work, the little one will find 1001 reasons not to go to bed, but to play, drink, water, tell a tale ....... Therefore, I turn off the light.
And as for the personal account, what to do for those who live in a one-room apartment?
By the way, Moveton does not seem to be suitable for such a situation, well, as far as I understand this word.

Speaking about the organization of the workplace, I proceeded from this phrase. Sorry, work at night, not in your personal account / bedroom and there is an unorganized workplace or at least moviton.

What should I be offended by? I didn’t do this stand.I expressed my thought, if he did, then he needs it. By the way, the source site is dominated by positive reviews about the stand. Apparently a different view of things.

Just do not be offended, the organization of the workplace is a sign of professionalism.

As for the crown, yes. It is not clear why it was not powered from the network?

.nda, in complete darkness, wanted to send a message?
- Well, it happens to me quite often. Everyone is sleeping, I am writing an article. To backlight the monitor is not quite enough, so I use a USB flashlight. As for the table, I did not insert photos, but here you are, see.

By the way, I have a stationary computer and a notebook. Of course, there are no problems on the computer. Both the office chair and the monitor itself with a standard stand, which can be slightly adjusted. But I write all the time on the laptop and here something like this would not hurt.

Beautiful and impractical product. Crohn at this current consumption will sit very quickly. The capacity is nikakuschy, the current consumed by the tapes is decent. This is me "by eye" wang. Counting even laziness.
I am sure - once a week you will have to change the battery. These are 50-100 rubles of expense and removal and installation of the monitor.
It would be more appropriate to use more capacious batteries (for example 3 pieces of 18650) and a charger. Or do not worry at all with mobility for a stationary device and make power from the network.
The direction of the LEDs also somehow does not coincide with the purpose of lighting the surface of the keyboard.
And anyway ..... if it comes to work .... why work at night ???
Remember how the Smeshariks had: -I worked two days in a row, worked !!! Reached level 13 !!! I forgot to save !!! - cray
My work monitor also stands on a stand of approximately the same height. But without backlight. For work implies good lighting of the workplace as a whole.
In general, I agree with my comrades: Beautifully and Bestolkovo.

I re-read the author’s arguments three times, but didn’t understand what kind of ergonomics he was talking about. Here are my reasons. The stand is not discussed because there is nothing. Shelf under the "Claudia" with autonomous backlight ... nda, in complete darkness, itch to send a message? Well, oh well, on the conscience of the author. Now the shelf itself. It’s like a narrow table (can it really be?), But why didn’t it tilt the shelf towards itself? From the point of view of ergonomics, it is many times more convenient, since the panel becomes visible, and it will be possible to place the "clave" on the shelf simply by sliding it. They already said about the performance, all that’s left is a plus

And the device is strange at first glance. We hammer in Google "stand for the monitor" and a bunch of offers pops up. Moreover, the price is not small, but the form of some, like the author.

Ivan, I think those who are faced with this problem will understand everything perfectly, the rest do not need it. But I can bring
I always need a monitor, because I feel that this is a problem that all “tall” people face, namely because of our growth, we need to look at a screen that turns your neck into a hard knot in a couple of hours and worse, it spoils your pose. Secondly, and most importantly, my desktop is pretty narrow, and since my keyboard takes up most of the space, I either work on it or unlock it. In short, it becomes very cluttered, and work becomes inefficient! And finally, at night I need an extra switch in the light when I feel for the keyboard due to total darkness, which again can be very frustrating.

he writes that tall.

So it was necessary to bring here this justification for the manufacture of such a strange product.

Well yes, he writes that tall. And of course, everyone has their own toys, but there is an office chair, and with the help of it, many adjust the landing height.

Some kind of strange product: for non-standard, very low tables or for very tall people. I will explain. Monitors are designed just for their correct position relative to the eyes of the average working, for height adjustment, a shift in the vertical direction relative to the stand is possible.
Monitor stability deteriorates.
Powering a stationary product from a Krona battery is also not a good solution.
And the author himself is strange: having the possibility of laser cutting, he cannot get the screws necessary for the length. And he also does not know how to shorten them.
