Had an idea for an adjustable standing desk, so decided to make rough prototype of it with the grid beam and grid panel that was lying around.
Basically, It uses the weight of the desk as leverage to hold the desk in Place. I think I’m going to come up with some type of clip to secure it.
Here’s some photos and a video of it so far. I will add more pic’s as a refine the design.
Let me know what you think?

Worked on the design in Rhino, and have made a few improvements.
- I refined the base two possible options one with straight legs, and one with diagonal legs. neither are tested for stability yet
- attached the monitor stand to the part that moves, so that it adjusts auto-magically when the desk is adjusted.
- Beefed up the vertical column support.
- Added a place for a desktop to sit on the legs.
- It’s not in the render, but I thought about adding a weight on a pully to counter balance the desk when it’s adjusted. Kind of like weight machines at the gym.
I’d also like to try 3d printing a hook for headphones, and adding casters. Will give a go at building it in the near future. I need a new desk. 
here’s a couple of photos, let me know what you think.
