I build things
that
move, print
and beep.
Hi, I'm Lucas. I design and 3D print my own models, write code, and build robots. This site is where I keep everything I've made, what I'm working on now, and what I'm trying to learn next.
About me
I got into making things through 3D printing. I started by printing models other people designed, then started designing my own, and now most of what comes off my printer is something I drew myself.
Coding came next, because a lot of my builds needed something to tell them what to do. Robotics put the two together: a part I printed, a motor, and code that makes it work.
I like problems where the first try fails. Most of my prints and programs didn't work at the start, and figuring out why is the part I actually enjoy. Mental math is the same kind of thing, which is probably why I like it.
My parents help me with the parts that need a grown-up, like orders in my 3D Lab. Everything on this site is work I did myself.
Away from the workbench
I do a lot of sport, and I fight with my brother. That last one is not a sport but I do it anyway.
Always moving
Water polo, baseball, basketball and jiu-jitsu keep me busy when I’m not making things.
Problems to solve
Mental math, coding, robots and 3D printing are all different ways of figuring things out.
Build a walking robot
Design the parts, print the joints, wire the motors and write the code that makes it move.
Making the first version
I like turning an idea into something real, even when the first version does not work and I have to redesign it.
What I am Learning
Read my blog ↗Things I'm in the middle of. Some of these will turn into projects and some won't.

3D Lab
My print shop: flexi dragons, desk stuff, keychains. Send me any model link and I'll print it and ship it.
My Blog
Build logs, things that broke, what I learned, and what I'm making next.
