Rick
building.

I design and 3D-print things, and I build apps. This is where I document both, fails included.

Printing Spiral vase · 0.2 mm layers

Three kinds of builds.

Every project is one of these.

Print

Things I design and 3D-print.

Functional parts, desk gear, the odd figurine. If it fails, the fail stays in the video.

PLA · PETG0.2 mm layers
App

Software I write myself.

Small apps that do one job well, taken from idea to shipped.

Crossover

A print and an app, working together.

A printed case with code inside, or an app that talks to the printer.

Less, but better.

I build on both sides of the screen: parts that come off my 3D printer, and apps I code myself. The best builds need both.

This channel is my workshop away from client work. Every build gets filmed from first sketch to finished object, including the parts that didn't work.

Useful
Every build solves a real problem, even a small one.
Honest
Real objects, real fails, no hype.
As little as possible
Grey, black, and one orange dot.

Follow the build.

The first episode is on the bench. Full builds go on YouTube. Timelapses and fails go on Reels.
