AI Thread Summary
An adjustable height box differs significantly from adjustable chairs or microscopes, as it is designed with a fixed volume. The discussion emphasizes the importance of creating a design before seeking assistance, in line with forum rules that require users to demonstrate effort. Suggestions include researching mechanisms used in office chairs and microscopes for inspiration. A participant recommends visiting a Lee Valley store for potential components. Overall, the conversation highlights the need for initial design work and resourcefulness in sourcing materials.

Hi,
how does an adjustable chair/microscope work?

I need to make an adjustable height box, and I need some basic understanding of the design.

Well, an adjustable height box is gonig to be nothing like and adjustable height chair or microscope...

Does an "adjustable height box" have a fixed volume that can be lifted and lowered, or is its volume adjustable?
 
thx for the response
it has fixed volume.
could you give me a sense of what the design would look like?

You need to come up with a design and we can help you refine it.
 
:smile:

Seriously super, not only should you be putting effort into this for yourself, but we are actually forbidden by PF Rules to give you answers - rules you agreed to when you signed up:

You MUST show that you have attempted to answer your question in order to receive help.
...
Any and all assistance given to homework assignments or textbook style exercises should be given only after the questioner has shown some effort in solving the problem. If no attempt is made then the questioner should be asked to provide one before any assistance is given. Under no circumstances should complete solutions be provided to a questioner, whether or not an attempt has been made.
 
aite lol. I have no engineering expierence but hopefully ill come up with something.
ill post my designs when i do
 
OK, the microscope adjustment is too complicated to build from scratch. I am probably going to atttach the adjustment mechanism to my box. Problem is that I don't know what to buy/will be available at a general store that would have such an adjustment mechanism.
does anyone have any suggestiosn?

Look for a Lee Valley store in your area.


Mmmmmm. Lee Valley... p0rn without the p0rn.

superaznnerd: See attached file. Look at a manual office chair to get additional details.
