All FAQs
DIY stands for “do-it-yourself”. The DIY approach to our projects means that you can acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to build and modify the projects to your own preferences, rather than buying them as a ready-made products.
For all our DIY projects, you will only need basic tools such as screwdrivers, side cutters, pliers, and a soldering iron. You don’t even require a CNC machine or 3D printer, as there are numerous services available nowadays.
We provide links to some of these services on our manufacturing services page and some recommendations for tools on our tools page .
There are a few options below:
Local Library or Makerspace: Many public libraries and community makerspaces offer access to equipment like 3D printers for a small fee or annual membership.
Online 3D Printing Services: You can upload a 3D model file (like an STL) to an online service (e.g., Slant 3D, PCBWay ) and they will print and ship the finished product to you.
Online Communities: Websites and forums like r/3Dprintmything on Reddit connect individuals who need something printed with people who own printers and are willing to help (often for a fee).
