Very nice. I want something like this go a computer monitor I could use at a desk and in bed (partially disabled). There is so much to this it would probably be useless to waste time writing it all out, but if you have any key lessons or tips, please share them.

There’s some pretty good gas spring monitor arms, I use a few at my desk. The one I use for a fairly heavy 27inch monitor might fit your use case but they can get pricey. www.ergotron.com/en-us/products/…/45-241#?color=p…
The springs I used here might be a bit weak for a monitor, I think the long ones are four pounders. But I don’t know much about springs and I just got ones that looked right from Lowes :)
As far as tips from this build, being able to change configurations and adjust positions did a lot to shore up the gap between what I wanted to do and how little I knew about any of this. Also, I’d probably do a 90 degree bend at the middle link.
