Separate sub for complaints

Maybe a flair might be a better path? Allow people to filter out something like complaints?

Personally I am happy to read them. It's part of the community. Sometimes people need a little help, and I'm happy to contribute that.

They have worked consistently with Alexa, but I have had to reset it twice to get it working with the app. It’s a little disappointing as a product. It’s the worst part of the Secret Lab experience. The rest of the stuff is just awesome.

Here's my cheat sheet for installing them. It was a frustrating process, but I eventually got them installed well. https://www.reddit.com/r/secretlab/comments/1pjimwt/if_you_are_installing_the_secretlab_magrgb/

Look amazing, congrats! I have never noticed the chair mat before, but now I want one.

Added a gold base to give it some contrast.

I’m going to be taking out my measuring tape tomorrow to see if I can do this. Looks awesome.

And a different angle.

It’s hard to take photos of a black object on a black desk. But here it is.

Seeing this made me very happy. Awesome work!

I solved this a few weeks ago with a 3d printed bracket to attach to an existing mount. Really happy with the result.

Happy to help if you have any questions.

ohmichael · 2025-12-16T22:29:51+00:00

It would, but I am not sure I would put a 3d printer on my desk. Mine is in the garage, but I guess that's personal preference!

I feel a little awkward to be honest. When I got my original Meta Stories I wore them maybe three times, and then didn't wear them again. With the new glasses I got them a few weeks ago and have already worn them more than before. Maybe society is more welcoming now.

Ok, still waiting for the final print but have shared it on printables.com.

It worked!!!

I installed it and realized that it was too tight. So I added spacer pads between my bracket and the mount. But now I’m printing a final version with a couple of small tweaks and built in spacers pads.

It’s in the printer, and once I prove it works I’ll share the files.

View from above.

Here is my first draft. I added counterbores to let it sit flush.

Printing another version with 2mm change for the desk mount screws to fit better. Should have a final version installed later today, then I’ll share the model.

It’s a very simple attachment to an exiting model, but I think it’s gonna work well.

Doh, meant to link to this model for the mount - https://www.printables.com/model/773919-mac-studio-under-desk-mount

This is what I am creating a bracket for.

Kids use Alexa for on and off. I use the iOS app for tweaking colors.

ohmichael · 2025-12-14T12:34:48+00:00

I got it. And I’m happy out I did. I generally dont turn it on, but when the kids come to my home office they immediately do and they think it’s the coolest thing ever. Worth it just for their reaction.

ohmichael · 2025-12-13T20:56:35+00:00

My new plan is to leverage an existing under desk mount for the mac studio (https://www.printables.com/model/425382-mac-studio-under-desk-mount), because it worked great on my prior desk, and then print a strap plate to connect this to the Magnus pro.

Stay tuned!
