I wanted to find out if it’s possible to build a tiny camera that gives you random real-life challenges instead of endless phone scrolling.
So I built the QuestCam.

A small camera that gives you random quests like “find something tiny” or “photograph a hidden face”.
When you complete the quest, you take a photo and it gets saved to your personal quest album.

In this video I’ll show you the full process from designing the camera, building the electronics, writing the firmware, to creating the wireless gallery system.

I Built a Tiny E-Reader

Paul Lagier 2026-03-01 | I wanted to find out if it’s possible to build a tiny, fully functional e-reader completely distraction-free and small enough to carry everywhere.
So in this video, I’ll take you through every step. From understanding how e-ink works, to designing the case, solving the button mechanism, writing the firmware, and building a wireless upload system.

I Turned Plywood Into a $130 Product With a 3D Printer

Paul Lagier 2026-02-23 | 🖨 PRINT FILES

If you’d like to build this Backgammon board yourself, you can find the 3D print files and full build guide here:
🛠 Ko-fi: ko-fi.com/paullagier

In this video, I turn a simple sheet of plywood into a $130 premium product using a 3D printer.

Instead of making another typical 3D printed object, I wanted to explore something more intentional: combining woodworking, CNC milling, and 3D printing to create a product that feels refined and worth selling.

I walk through the entire process, from sketching and product design, to CNC machining the plywood base, dialing in tolerances for the printed inserts, sanding everything flush, applying a hardwood oil finish, and designing weighted 3D printed game pieces for better haptics.

Total material cost was around $14.
Would you consider this a viable small business idea?

Is 3D Printing Strong Enough for Furniture?

Paul Lagier 2026-02-14 | #ad #sponsored

If you’re curious about the @ElegooOfficial Centauri Carbon 2, you can check it out here:
→ elegoo.com/products/centauri-carbon-2-combo

For this project, I’m using the Elegoo Centauri Carbon 2 to find out. Elegoo sent me the printer for this build and I wanted to push it beyond small decorative prints into actual functional furniture.
Instead of printing everything, I focused on printing only the parts that truly benefit from 3D printing: the structural connectors. The rest is simple wood you can buy at any hardware store.

Before committing to the full-size table, I printed a complete 20% scale prototype using the new CANVAS multi-color system to test geometry, tolerances and color separation on structural parts.

Let’s see if a beginner-friendly machine can really handle furniture.

I Treated 3D Prints Like Paper (And It Worked)

Paul Lagier 2026-02-07 | 🧠 Build it yourself
If you want to build this wallet yourself or recreate any of my other projects, you can find all print files, folding guides and instructions on my Ko-fi:

👉 ko-fi.com/s/3a646bf4bc

In this video, I explore what happens when you print ultra-thin sheets and shape them afterwards using heat turning a flat 3D print into a functional origami-style wallet.
The entire project started with a failed print: just a single layer of PETG. Instead of throwing it away, I started experimenting, bending, heating, folding and quickly realized that 3D printing doesn’t have to end when the print finishes.
I tested different materials like PETG, TPU, ASA and Polypropylene, experimented with heat forming, integrated fold guide lines directly into the model and stress-tested the final design to see if it could survive daily use.
The result is a wallet that starts completely flat and only becomes functional after you fold it.

In this project, I built my idea of the ultimate cyberdeck for 3D printing. Powered by the Khadas Mind 2 and Mind Graphics.
A modular, portable workstation to control, monitor and design for my 3D printers, directly in the workshop.

This cyberdeck allows me to:
– monitor and control multiple 3D printers
– work on CAD and slicing directly at the machines
– carry desktop-level performance around the workshop
– keep everything modular and upgradable

This is only version one of the cyberdeck.
If you have ideas for features, improvements or use cases, let me know in the comments. I’ll try to implement as many as possible in the next iteration.

I Tried to 3D Print a $4,000 Designer Lamp

Paul Lagier 2025-12-17 | I tried to recreate a $4,000 designer cactus lamp using a 3D printer as cheaply as possible. What looked like a simple plastic lamp quickly turned into a real challenge, especially when printing a tall, hollow shape in spiral vase mode.

In this video, I show the full build process, the design decisions, the print failure at the top, and how I solved the lighting to make the entire cactus glow evenly from the inside. In the end, I break down the total cost and honestly evaluate whether the result was worth it.

⚠️ This project is inspired by a classic designer lamp from the 1980s. The original design is protected by copyright, which is why the files for this build are not available.

I did design an original cactus lamp for my desk though, which is available on my Ko-fi page if you’d like to support my work.

How I Designed the Ultimate 3D-Printed Toolbox (Free Files)

Paul Lagier 2025-12-03 | 📦 FREE DOWNLOAD — 3D FILES (STL + STEP)
👉 ko-fi.com/s/b3ab72cc41

I designed and 3D-printed my own modular Maker Toolbox and yes, all files are completely FREE.
If you work on small projects, fix 3D printers or constantly lose screws, bits or tiny parts… this toolbox might be exactly what you’ve been missing.

This project is fully printable on any 3D printer and requires no supports. (min. printbed size 240x240cm)
⸻

🖨️ Printing Recommendations:

• Material: PLA / PETG
• Layer height: 0.2 mm
• No supports needed
• 0.4 mm nozzle
• 20–30% infill
• For more stability: use 3+ wall lines
• For the boxes: place the Z-seam on the “back” so the lid closes clean and looks perfect

How I Designed the Most Calming Timer Ever

👉 ko-fi.com/paullagier
______________________________
I wanted to build a timer that feels calm. Something that helps you focus without stress, noise or distractions.
So I designed a minimal, 3D-printed “Calm Timer” powered by an ESP32, LEDs and a simple one-button interface.

In this video I show you the full process:
• Finding the idea
• Why simplicity is the key to productivity
• Designing the body in CAD
• Printing the parts
• Final assembly
• And of course… testing the timer in a real workflow.

If you enjoy minimalism, productivity tools, DIY electronics or 3D-printed projects, this one is for you.

How I 3D PRINTED a 5-Foot Floor Lamp

Paul Lagier 2025-11-19 | I wanted to build a tall, Scandinavian-style floor lamp… but my 3D printer is way too small for a project like this.
So I mixed woodworking with 3D printing and ended up creating a 5-foot designer lamp that looks like something you’d find in a $300 home store.

In this video I show you exactly how I designed, printed and built this lamp from scratch.
From choosing the right materials, to printing the structural parts, to assembling everything into a warm, minimalist Japandi-style light.

How I made a $40 speaker that sounds like $200

Paul Lagier 2025-11-10 | I wanted to find out if it’s possible to build a really good Bluetooth speaker for under 40 dollars - fully 3D printed.
The result honestly surprised me: it looks like a store-bought speaker, sounds way better than expected, and is super easy to build.

In this video, I’ll take you through every step. From designing and 3D printing to final assembly and sound testing.

How I turned filament waste into a beautiful lamp

Paul Lagier 2025-11-03 | I 3D printed a lamp that reuses filament waste in a completely new way.

Every maker knows the problem. Those leftover bits of filament that are too small for a new print but too much to throw away. In this project, I designed a lampshade with vertical grooves that let you reuse old filament pieces as part of the design itself. The result is a clean, minimal pendant lamp that turns 3D printing waste into light.

This project combines 3D printing, design, and sustainability - showing how small ideas can transform everyday materials into something beautiful.
Printed on a standard 0.4 mm nozzle using PLA, but it also works great with PETG for extra heat resistance.

How I built a machine that literally makes rain

Paul Lagier 2025-10-26 | I built a small machine that makes real rain. No sound effects, no speakers - just water, gravity and design. This project is one of my favorite builds so far because it combines 3D printing, engineering and calm atmosphere in one simple idea. The sound of real rain creates a unique focus zone and turns any desk into a place to think, work or just slow down.

Follow for more projects like this – clean design, real function, and ideas made to inspire.
