Throne of Dev

Would have loved to work on drawing up the "desk" part of the design, but the truck is outside, belongings loaded up and heading to the new town (Graaff-Reinet here I come) 

See you all soon with an update when I am unpacked!

Thanks for all the likes and follows you all! Really made my day!  

The overhead monitor mounts were going to be troublesome. I thought it looks flimsy. But, as I want to automate it later on, it would need a big linear actuator  or a couple actuators working together to lift it up to get into the chair.  
I also still had to build a mechanism to swivel the tabletop/keyboard/mouse out of the way anyway, so I'm exploring an alternate path now - monitors on swings attached to the armrests. What do you guys think?

Going to have to put this on hold for a while. Moving into the new house in a new town over the next two weeks. Exciting, scary, but mostly - time-expensive :(

Will revisit as soon as I am settled in to the new place though

Just because I'm out of action till the move is done, doesn't mean this has to stand still. 

Download the sketchup file, and go ahead, add-on, delete, modify, critique it! Would love to see some better ideas and suggestions!

Starting to draft in the overhead mounts - cross bracing and angelpoise mechanisms clearly missing (:
