I Built a Floating Shelf!
มุมมอง 178ปีที่แล้ว
So with the introduction of 3D printers in to my shop, I needed to make the most of the space I had, and give them their own little shelf, without getting in the way of everything else. So, I decided to use an electric winch and some cables to create a shelf that I could raise and lower whenever I need to use it or stow it away!

I Made a Vertical Terrarium out of a Cheap Aquarium!!!
มุมมอง 623ปีที่แล้ว
So this was a fun project! One of my favorite hobbies is re-purposing old/cheap things into something a little more interesting and unique! For this project, I needed a cool vertical terrarium for a frogo, and didn't want to spend an outrageous amount on a pre-built one, so instead I re-purposed a cheap aquarium and it turned out awesome! What would you like to see me re-purpose next? Lemme kno...

Setting Up Shop! Fitting a Shop With Filming Equipment
Thanks bro, the best video to the point!
Yay! Thank you! 😁
You are such an amazing guy, i do it, perfect tutorial, in the finals step, i lose one of the sh1tt1 springs, but i replace it with another similar from a Bic lighter, cutting here and there, and the middle mouse button just works perfectly, nice tutorial bro, i replacet it with huano pink transparent, here in Argentina there´s the only a few brands, and well, i think those sw are quite good enough, thanks again.
Yay! Glad to hear it helped! Good work adapting!
How similar are the guts for this mouse and the G502 Hero? That's what I have, but other videos I've found on it aren't nearly as good as this one, so if the guts were essentially identical, I'd like to use this one if possible.
I'm not sure because I have never dug in to the hero, but given how complex this one is, I think if you follow the same concept and disassemble it carefully, screw by screw, you should be fine when it comes to replacing the microswitch
@@StanMakesStuff Thanks for that, here's hoping I can find out if the switch is compatible or identical.
smart
Thanks joven I like tu tutorial
bro ur haircut is craaaazy what the hell boy
anyway awesome frog tank i really enjoyed the video
Great video. Tank looks awesome.
I love it beacuse i have a pet toad medium sized do you think you could make a video on a good enclosure like that but for a toad
Ooo, that's a good idea! I would have to customize it a bit to meet the needs of a toad, but I think it should be pretty straight forward
I just let him go today I'm sad but I had to he wouldn't eat
Awwww, that sucks 🫠
@@StanMakesStuff yea
I dont understand how i had a $2 mouse that literally lasted a decade and when I decide to replace it with a gaming mouse it starts having issues a year in. 😂
For realz 😂
Are tree frogs supposed to be handled with gloves?
Yes. Oils and contaminants from your skin can be absorbed by them because they drink through their skin, so handling without gloves can get them sick
too much work, I'll just buy a new one
real
Great video. Thanks, this fixed my double click issue.
Yay! Glad I could help!
Now I know where all the weight comes from.
Nice lifted switch there. Anyone that wants to do this right solder the middle pin, push on the switch and get it fully on the board while heating the middle pin. Then once the switch is fully seated solder the other two pins. Also when you're desoldering it helps to add flux to the solder joint to get it to flow. The pro method is to just add a bit of fresh solder before you begin desoldering. I know it sounds backwards to add solder to desolder but that's how it's done. There's flux in solder. When they manufactured the board they washed away all the flux they used. Just part of the manufacturing process. It's not a bad idea for you to clean any flux residue you might leave soldering too. Isopropyl alcohol works. You use a cropped flux brush. Or an old toothbrush. In a pinch paper towel can work. Do a neat and clean job of it. Don't leave pinholes in your solder joint like this guy did either. That's an inspection fail. Really his meniscus is terrible. The bigger the glob the better the job are not words to live by. When I did mil spec soldering I had to leave the form of the conductor visible.
holy shit, this is a computer mouse, not an avionics part, who cares. It ain't gonna kill people.
@@kotono00 I've soldered avionics circuits professionally at a board assembly house. You'd be surprised what they care about. It annoyed even me. But I couldn't tell the inspectors who cares. AFAIK my work has killed people. It went into attack helicopters. I kill a lot of demons with my mouse. I play OG Doom. Solder stuff right.
@@1pcfred that's exactly what I said, this ain't going into an aircraft, it's a mouse. Who cares what the solder looks like.
@@kotono00 the only people that will care is anyone that uses the mouse. Because if that switch isn't seated properly and soldered correctly it will not work right either. This is a part where mechanical connection matters because it is a mechanical part. you don't have any gap to play with here. That switch has to be flush on the board.
@@1pcfred the switch being lifted is the only part I can agree with. How the solder looks matters very little in this application.
Great tutorial! I tihink it would be nice to show the screws for each part. I ended with 2 leftovers lol
Hi, Stan! What an awesome video. Is there any way you can list the materials you used for this build? You mentioned that it would be in the description but I can't seem to find it. Pleaseeeeeeee can you help me out 🙏🥹
Sorry about that, it used to be in the description but then the video got moved. Essentially you need enough 3/4" PVC to cover the area you want in terms of height, width, and depth. Then. You just need the fittings to construct the frame. In 3/4" size, 6 3-way elbows, 2 standard elbows, and a 4-way. Then in 1" size, 6 T's. It's been a while since I built that so I'm not 100 percent sure on the measurements, so just go to the hardware/plumbing store and test how pieces fit to apply this theory: All frame pieces need to be the same size and fit snuggly. For the slider ontop of the frame, you need T-joints that will slide over the frame pipes, so they need to have the in-line openings big enough for the frame pipes to slide all the way through, but the other opening needs to be smaller so that the slider bars fit snuggly into them. Now, if you want more stability, look for some thin wall pipe that can fit in those T fittings. It will fill the gap between the inside diameter of the T and the outside diameter of the frame pipe as it slides through. I know it might sound complicated, but once you start picking up the parts you'll be fine. Best of luck!
@@StanMakesStuffThank you so so much. I can't wait to try this build. I really appreciate you explaining it in detail 🤗
from what i see, i don't need a new micro switch. i can replace the broken one with the DPI switch, which was not in use. right?
Lol, if you wanted to you could do that
Any tips on replacing middle mouse swith
It's a nice mouse, but I wish they could have added more screws.
Yeah if they just used enough screws they could have welded them all together. Job done! Who needs any plastic parts anyways?
Thanks for a well-presented video that's clear and to the point. 2 aspects that I found a bit more difficult as it seemed here in the video were the mouse-wheel pin removal and the desoldering. It's really important to push the pin out properly with a thin tool (paperclip might work just fine). I damaged my mouse wheel trying to just pull it out with force when it didn't go so easily. My bad, of course, but it seemed so easy here. The desoldering part just seems like magic to me. I see what you're doing and it apparently works perfectly, but I don't seem to be the only one that struggles with removing the solder so easily and even to the point, that you can just pull out the switch with a bit of force and wiggling. What eventually worked best for me was clipping the old switch's pins off, adding a bit more solder and pulling lightly on the microswitch as I kept heating the 3 solder points in parallel to the best of my abilities. Then, I turned the board around and softened the solder again and pushed a thin nail of sorts through to basically sharpen the basic wholes that I can then easily push the new micro switch's pin through. When completing the soldering, I also made sure the new micro switches lay as flat as possible to the board, which wasn't completely trivial given the above process. I'm just stating all that so others don't wonder why it doesn't work and get stuck, too. And to everyone wanting to attempt this: Please have some proper tools (helping hands) or friends for this process too. It can be a pain in the ass even with all that, but if you don't have anything to properly hold this tiny board etc. in place as you work with a hot soldering iron, it's extremely frustrating.
I never had double click issues. I have a 502 spectrum that I can swap switches with if I ever do
After 2 min of watching naaa i will buy a new Mouse
Fair enough 😂
Fixing mice isn't for everyone. The mouse in this video is not easy to work on.
great video bro , where is the link for the switches
I kinda gave up on keeping a current link because they kept going out of stock. It's the Gold TTC switches, here's a current Amazon link, but it's just for the 30m click rating. You want to find the 80m if possible. Kamonda 2piece TTC Dustproof Gold Mouse Micro Switch Micro Button Gold Contactor 30 Million TTC Dustproof Gold Mouse Micro Switch Micro Button a.co/d/63Bg3tc
Just bought the mouse. I'm loving it andI wanted to check if it's easy to fix in case if the switches wear out. Thank you for the tutorial! I'm saving it for the future :D
Awesome! Glad you liked it!
That is not an easy mouse to work on at all. There's like 16 screws.
Thanks man, just changed 3 of my G502 Lightspeed switches to Kailh GM 8's. Great Tutorial.
Awesome! Glad it helped!
Were u able to change the side buttons as well?
Yes I only changed the DPI Up button, Although I wouldn't recommend it if you don't need to, since then the DPI Up button takes a lot of forces compared to before. The switches used for side buttons need very less force compared to Kailh GM 8's.
@@someone424-s7l my thumb buttons have started double clicking. Any idea what switches I should use to replicate the same click feel?
this guide is really good, havent used a soldering iron in almost 20 yrs but managed to replace my switches with kailh blue, removing the old ones was a bit of a pain in the ass though. thankfully instructions were easy to follow for the teardown/rebuild. 👍
Awesome! Thank you for the feedback, glad it helped!
I have a different switches on my G502 lightspeed, for the left and right i have the same black Omicron switches, for the side clicks i have red omicron switches..
Thanks! Great tutorial. It was very helpful and got me thru the tear down rather painlessly.
Great work!
Thank you! 😁
Very nice, hope to see an update in the future.
Me too. I'd love to see how the plants adapt and grow in
'promosm' ❤️
This looks awesome! Would you mind providing a plant list? Also, how do you go about sterilizing the wild moss so it’s safe for the frog?
I'm sorry, but I am such an amateur that my answers will probably be disappointing 😅 I can't give you a plant list because I pretty much walked around the Lowes garden section picking plants, and as long as Google said they weren't poisonous or harmful to fromgs, I grabbed it 😂 For making the wild moss safe, I just gave it a very thorough wash, and let the whole tank cycle for about a month before adding Moki.
great video man, you really helped me sooooo much 💟
Thanks, great video !
When you cut glass, you just need one consistent cut instead of multiple cuts. Can damage the glass cutter if you score the glass more than once especially with double strength glass. Great build!!
Great build! Gave me inspiration if i were ever to have this species again! I miss my tiger leg tree frogs. Yours look identical to my pair of Phyllomedusa hypochondrialis.
Yay! Glad you liked it! 👍
Wow it's amazing, how people want to be youtubers providing information to other without even doing their own research!? Bro you failed life itself
Lol, not everything is a competition or a tutorial, and learning from others experiences is a worthwhile pastime 😁
@@StanMakesStuff no one said anything about a contest but you must learn not to mislead ppl or do your research before you even start a video for anything
@@StanMakesStuff you can't fight facts and you must be realistic for the goals of a build. Yes you may build a pc for gaming but I'm 100% sure you won't just use it to play games
😂😂 Valid, I never have time to play video games, so when I do use it it's just for editing and such 🫠
Don't listen to this fool. He's just the typical cynical gamer mixed with depression and jealousy. Great production on your vids. Keep it up!
Amazing 🤩
My heart stopped for a second when the acrylic broke off😂😂❤❤ Nice built!
Hey Man, loved the build. I was literally so tense and called it that the glass was going to break. Little tip, Slow down on the drill speed, and keep a nice consistent speed, while keeping your hand steady. Another tip, drill a pilot hole before you fully commit to drilling the hole. Also, before drilling. Make sure the area/ surface you're drilling on has been sprayed with water or better yet, apply water while drilling. This will massively reduce your risk of cracking the glass (or acrylic). As I said, love the build. The tree frog will be very happy in there. Keep up the good work 👍
Peace of mind !!
Silicone on acrylic? No problems with it peeling off?
I had to use gorilla clear silicone, because it's the only type that I have found which will hold acrylic very well
Your frog is awesome!
Tanks 😁
Thank you so much! Solved my double clicking issue. Found the old switches hard to remove, had to lever them up with a screwdriver after removing the solder but all good! Replaced with Kailh red switches and they work great
Yay! Glad it helped!
Yeah when I changed out the switches in my Razer mouse it was like they were hammered into the board. The pins were real tight in them holes. I know what I'm doing and I had a time of it.
Green tree python terrarium?
Oooo, good idea!!! I really like making vertical tanks!
@@StanMakesStuff yup!
I liked that you included the glass drilling fail haha, goes to show not everything goes to plan! If thats actual glass and not acrylic you'd need to drill that using a small water reservoir for the drill not to overheat and drill slowly, also the glass can't be tempered or else it won't work well
Cool video! Love the relaxing vibe.
Thank you!!! That's exactly what I was going for!
wow....
