Who am I?

Hey, I'm Caleb and I live in Australia. I love to bring my ideas to life by making and designing things through 3D printing, CAD, Arduino and electronics. I document my projects on YouTube to share with others and to inspire you to make your own things. I stand strongly with right to repair and open source, hoping to help build a better future.


Filmmaking

Beyond the projects themselves, I love making the videos enjoyable to watch. I have a growing interest in filmmaking and I'm always experimenting with new ways to make content better. It's a skill that keeps evolving.

Tech enthusiast

Always watching for new advancements across industries. The tech space is somewhere I have deep and genuine interest in.

Open source

A strong believer that open-source software and hardware make the world better for everyone. It's a core part of how I think about building things.

The bigger picture

Since I was able to think, I've always dreamed of building a company. That idea evolved from a plant nursery, to solar, to tech. Someday I want to build products that put the user and the planet first — not profit. Open hardware and software are the foundation of that vision.


Where it began

0

I created my channel back in 2018 to share my love for Arduino. The very first video I ever uploaded was one with a bluetooth LCD where I found a way to send data over bluetooth to display it on a 1602 LCD. I never knew anything about programming back then, so this felt insanely cool. After that, I decided to create more videos.

The focus shifted from Arduino to Python and other tutorial based videos, but I never really enjoyed making them. I don't think many would have enjoyed watching them either. So, I recreated an older video and decided to make it better. After that video, I lost interest in content creation. I just couldn't come up with any ideas or my own style.

Multiple years later, I have returned and this time with a new approach to my videos. Rather than focussing on trying to explain every detail in the video, I try to make the videos entertaining. This website is where I can dive into the depths of a project step by step which will be for those who have interest in recreating one of my projects.
