The main problem with motorized sit/stand desks in an engineering office is that other engineers like to install a secret remote control and then terrorize you with random movements.

Mini Dave is hilarious :D

Dave and his family members were so excited they forgot all about the duty cycle on the controller!

I put together half a dozen ikea desks like this recently, besides that fancy display and presets, very much identical

We had a pallet of those sit/stand desks get delivered by mistake at the beginning of the lockdown in 2020, contacted and told the company they had been delivered by mistake and nothing to do with us and after a few back and fourth emails never heard anything. Still have the pallet sat on our racking 🤣 Same controller as Dave has but only single motors. I guess one day we will either dump them or find a use for them lol

haha, awesome thumbnail, big thumbs up to Mrs eevblog :)

Miss eevblog cracks me up..

I have one of the longer versions of that table and it's been great.

Damn cool! Almost the whole family featured :). Nice desk and nice work figuring it out.

I definitely want something like that and i miss building things with my dad.

Do I only see it coming up completely crooked? Or is it because I live in Pisa and I still see everything crooked anyway?

I have two Ikea Idasen sit-stand desks. Really a game changer and a very good deal.

Damn... How old is Sagan now?

Something that helped me I mounted a power strip under the desk with a 9m cord, so all my wires don't have to stretch. Also, grab some long ethernet cords as well. Possibly a cable race for cable management.

Very nice table, i would love to have one, very useful and convenient for all kind of uses and jobs, i like how the metal part is built, seems pretty solid and stable, those linear actuators are pretty fast for their job, however i think someone didn't think enough about the cabling length they could just provide like 1 meter cable from each motor and get rid of the extensions...

Very nice, Dave. I know what you mean about the heavy motorized legs! I got a new Secret Lab Magnus Pro XL a couple weeks ago... HEAVY !!

12:35 around 2 meters

Its only an executive decision if the executive is aware of the option!!

Hello, Congratulations Cool 👍👏👏👏

IKEA sells this desk as UPPSPEL with a different top. It's available in 140cm and 180cm width.

Top dad.

I can tell you, as someone that has one of these at work, wedged between other desks and overhanging prototype machinery, that the door-knob and the desk will form an intimate relationship whenever you aren't looking. You will hear the crunching sounds though. ;)

I've added motorized feet to both my computer and electronics bench. Best update to the lab!

That’s a right old rats nest of cables there Dave.

Looks like "standard" Linak connectors. There is Bluetooth as well. And do follow instructions, they have thought the steps thru so you get cablemanagement and everything in the right place.

Does the firmware 'enforce' the duty-cycle to prevent burn-out?

Well, the Desky desk seems to be from the same manufacturer like the ones I built up. Some tear down photos at the end (the Bonustrack): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/j6lki8SY2brXd30.html

If you get the under desk cable management then those wires all neatly tuck away.

Missed out on swappig the leveling feet with the OG couch feet...

Yeah Dave nice cool looking desk there if the wife's happy it must be great

I'm trying to figure out what the RJ11 jack is for. I have a couple sets of these that I'd like to use on a huge table, and I wonder if they can run in sync. But I can't find any documentation from any of the multitude of brands these are sold by that show what that jack is for.

That's super neat. Would certainly help when I need to be back and forth between the computer and work table. Hard to tell but could it accidentally catch the doorknob? I know your family is careful, but f you have other kids over often you may want to put a doorstop on the hinge to keep the desk from taking the knob off. May not be a bad idea just to keep the door itself from getting a few smacks.

Next project remote control of electric desk height?

load it up with scopes, meters, PSUs , computer , printer etc. How much weight will it move?

I haven't watched the channel in a very long time. I remember Sagan as a little baby, almost unable to speak. How strange it is that they grow up...

I find maximum height useful for cleaning under the desk.

Now Dave just needs to super charge it! Full range of motion in 0.25 seconds!

was waiting for the power cable to pull the socket out of the wall before the end of travel

Did the power management bit have to be in the center? If it was at one end then the short able would have been ok and the long cable would have been practical.

did you use the app

TWO 'that's what she said's!

i have a desk here of a very similar general design (* i.e.with 2 legs)... however these are not ideal for mounting a microscople onto. for the thing wobbles about 'too much'. and this is of course more tolerable at lower mags. but still... the better style for these is a more expensive aka 'premium' or otherwise 'higher load' models... that has a proper 4 legs. one under each corener of the desktop. there's only a couple of models / brands kicking about and they generally cost in excess of $700 or $1000 usd. however they should wobble very significantly less amount. which is a boon for microscope users. who want a more stable surface to work upon. highly recommended if you have the dough to pony up for one. but admittedly it is indeed quite a lot more money. and not everybody can stretch to the budget for that... a typical 2 legs desk still can work, its just more annoying / more aggravating to deal with those unwanted disturbances. causing disruptions when the view is shaken around

A few thoughts - 1800mm long? You beauty. Most standing desks are quite a bit smaller. For the actuators, I'm quite sure those are the industrial lego linear actuators with a gear reduction from a motor to a lead screw (the sort that will pop up when you google 'linear actuator'). Curious they put the duty cycle on the power supply, given that is a requirement of the actuators, not necessarily the PSU. Not too sure how/why they would fail, but if you purchase one of those actuators, they are often rated 12V and have a 1 min on/10 min off spec. Lastly, I'm interested in the use of what looks like 6-pin PCIe connectors for the actuators. Haven't seen those used for anything other than a graphics card.

How exactly do these lifters work? I'm guessing a pair of screws in each leg?

I notice the foot is exactly look like IKEA UPPSPEL desk. I got myself a broken one with a death 32V rail.

Holy shit Sagan is a big dude already. I saw him as a toddler, I feel old.

..... Door handle left in the path of lift, Dave adds new door stop to floor.

Dave that desk looks crooked did you put a bubble meter on it or is the picture on the wall is that is crooked? maybe do the Malteser test Anyway apart from being a desk that would make a perfect Big screen Tv table imagine putting a sofa in that office and then raising the desk up for Big Tv moments you can get large computer monitors now like 31.9" Monitors plenty big for a small room like that.

who will win? the doorknob, the door or the desk? Bets are accepted.

I had a bad habit of going to a colleagues desk to pour over some technical drg's with them and leaning on the buttons accidentally!

I built a 200x80x3.8 top of beech onto a dual motor frame for half that price. OK, I had to drill my own insets 😞 Wood was 140. mechanism 175 all euros. Have to say I like it mind.

Sit .... Standing is for getting ready to walk away, or the moment after arrival, before sitting.

The 125 setting is for people like Olivier Richters; the Dutch Giant, so he can actually sit when using this desk ; )

Not to be used by unauthorized personnel == the polite way of saying "Not to be operated by f*ckwits" :)

The REAL magic of the ball-end allen key is shown when you try to put final torque on the fastener using the ball end. A puff of smoke and you have a slightly shorter key, or the hex recess rounds out, and the screw can never be removed without carbide or carborundum :)

OMG your boy has grown... makes you feel old :)

Kinda wild to see how blatant of a copy the control box and legs are of the Linak solutions 😅 Linak can't compete on the cost tho, and they're terrible at being consumer facing.

Sit!

I don't understand why these tables exist. Office chairs are height adjustable. It makes more sense.

Oh, wow. I remember seeing Sagan as a babe in arms! So tall now, and growing up by the minute.

Oh cut it just as he was going to show the pre set options

The motors look like robot feet

DESKY - Polacy tam byli :D

I love how you and your Son do these things together. My Dad was stuffy, boring, knew nothing about technology or building things, insisted I did boring things that I had no interest in, wouldn't make any edgy jokes, etc.. Interesting video, I love the desk! I don't read instructions either - But mostly because they're always too small for my aging eyes to read. Some day I'll get around to getting myself some glasses.

1:18 Those desks aren't cheap, cant they be bothered to stick it straight?

Mrs. Evie Blog

It's cool but I prefer to sit down unless At a workbench where you have to move, such as upholstery or wood working etc. I get sitting on your arse all day and or standing up all day.

If you bought this one at Aldi then good luck next time you bump into Dick Smith! He hates Aldi!!

I need to complain about those motors which say 230v 50Hz. They're 30v motors. Why do so many companies lie like this?

That's why she said what, Dad? Why does she prefer an increased size, doesn't she know that small things like me are fun too?

1:27 Meh. Reasonable, but I've seen ones with higher load capacity on market.
