Hi.
I make clicky things. Specifically, 3D-printed phone stands with real mechanical keyboard switches built into them so you can click them repeatedly while staring at your screen. Yes, that's a product. Yes, people buy it. Yes, I'm still a little surprised.
How This Happened
It started in 2018 with a 3D printer and no particular plan. I printed things for myself, things for the kids, things my wife smiled politely at. The usual hobbyist chaos.
Then I needed a phone stand. A normal one existed. I didn't want a normal one. I wanted one that was fun. Interesting. A conversation starter. One with buttons that went click.
I looked for that product online. It did not exist. Not even a little bit. So I designed it myself, printed it, put it on my desk, and started clicking it constantly.
Other people saw it. They wanted one. I made more. Here I am, apparently running a business now.
What I Actually Make
Each product is designed by me, printed by me, on my actual 3D printer, one at a time, from PLA, a plant-derived plastic made from cornstarch and sugarcane. It's not perfect. It has layer lines and minor variations and a kind of handmade quality that I've decided to call “character.”
The buttons have real clicky mechanical keyboard switches inside. The kind that keyboard people spend a lot of time thinking about. They don't connect to anything. They don't do anything useful. They just click, with exactly the right amount of resistance and exactly the right sound, and that turns out to be enough. More than enough, actually.
Why
Because nobody should have to use a boring phone stand. Because clicking things is good for you, probably. Because I made something that didn't exist and people liked it, and that felt like a sign.
Also because the 3D printer was just sitting there.
That's It. That's the About Page.
I'm a one-person operation. I make things I'd actually want on my own desk. I ship them to you. You click them. Everyone wins.
