Ergonomic Monitor Arm
Description
This is an ergonomic monitor arm that is designed to be mounted to your bed. It is a great addition to those who spend a lot of time with their monitor and don't like sitting in one place. With this arm, you can sit, recline, lay down, stand, lay on the floor all while watching movies surfing the web, and playing video games. The arm is made to fit monitors made out of laptop screens (under 1kg) It will most likely not work with any commercial monitor because of the weight unless you use much stronger springs in your design. I used springs with a 600N/m coefficient.

I hope to improve the durability of the arm and how much weight it can support. I will also try to avoid any ambiguity with the materials and make the assembly easier so that anyone who wants to build one can.
