I use my shop computer for drawing and to control my CNC router. So far, it had no good place and was sitting on "temporary" desks. I wanted a better solution and built this height-adjustable arm to mount it. Controlling the CNC at standing height is finally comfortable now.

MEGA. Ich würde am Scharnier der den arm hält, Unterlagscheiben aus Teflon verwenden. Das verhindert Abrieb und erhöht die Beweglichkeit. Kannst du ganz einfach nachrüsten, weil das Material nicht dick ist.

I used machine screws in wood for my whole CNC build. All the linear guide rails, the bearing blocks, the stepper motors etc. are mounted that way. It holds up remarkably well, so even with some heavy load I can highly recommend wooden threads.

@@johannesb.911 It took me some tries to pause at the message, and started smiling. Would I've known that you already made the work ... Anyway, thank you:) Here's just a minor little theory, definitely a conspiracy theory that has absolutely nothing to do with our previous commentator, here! Threads, i.e. the type and dimensions, are selected according to the requirements such as shearing and tensile forces (Because of "fun" ... surely not!). The purpose of use, the material constants and the required holding force then flow into the selection of the right thread. A certain safety reserve has also to be planned for this purpose. Supporting frame constructions and housings always have to be able to withstand the maximum forces that can occur in the event of an accident, misuse or a defect in the internal structure/machinery(for example that a tool goes airborne or a moving part is blocked, like a ball-screw). Such incidents can and DO happen. Up to a certain degree, care has to be taken and they have to be considered in the design of the machine. Small example: 1. We accidentally programmed something wrong: The wooden router falls apart... Great! (Most of the time it is a chain of events, that lead to DESASTER! One the hobbyist never thought of) 2. You stumble and fall on the X axis: In addition to your ankle fracture, the spindle guide also breaks off and cuts off your neck... Very Nice. Then you "no longer" have to get upset about your own stupidity:P The cruel example was of course just a satirical joke. Or should we rather ask the health insurance companies about the idiot accident statistics? hehe. Gruß und 3 Finger hoch: Fünf Bier fürs Sägewerk!;)

You might find it nice to add a knob of some sort on that nut that locks the angle of the parallelogram mechanism. Something that allows you to grip it easily and know which orientation is correct for when it is locked in place. I feel like fiddling with the small wing nut will get old eventually.

A small suggestion: Most of the Industrial machines come with a trackball instead of a mouse. Might be something for you as well. Takes a bit to get used to, but great for small spaces like your table area. A desktop one will with thumb control will suite, but there are some industrial ones with bigger full hand size balls that are better dust resistant as well.

You can consider adding a short depth monitor tilt pivot wall mount bracket and that will allow you to offset any slant on the screen. The typically also allow for a few degrees of tilt and swivel which helps when you reposition the arm or move between sit and stand positions.

The only thing i would change is to add a 2 mm braided steel line from the top of the parallelogram through the bottom of the main (table) joint and then through the leg and over (or under it to the floor if you think about it down up) back to a bigger spring. This is how architectural/engineering tables had various implements back in the day, only difference is the spring would be hidden inside the leg, which is not an option here.
