The studio
How we make it
Model it. Prove it fits. Print it. Film it. Share it.
Design
Modelled in CAD, tested until it fits.
Autodesk Fusion
Parametric CAD.
How we use it
Every part starts at the origin in its print orientation, one component per part, driven by named parameters (coaster size, wall, fit clearance), so a whole set resizes from one number.
Fit tests
Small prints that answer one question.
How we use it
Before a design ships, the joints get their own test print: five versions of a peg or rail, each a little looser. We keep the one that fits and write down why.
Develop
Electronics, code and animation.
The Print Labbuilt by us
Our printing notebook.
How we use it
Every print is logged with its material, settings and result, and every failure gets a cause and a fix. The rules it taught us go into every new design.
Aseprite
Pixel art.
How we use it
The crew's sprites, every effect and the pixel scenes on this site are drawn in Aseprite from code, so a whole library stays consistent.
Our animation studiobuilt by us
A code-first 2D animation studio we built ourselves.
How we use it
Stick-figure shorts written as scripts: poses, physics, timing, camera and sound, all in TypeScript. It animates the crew for our videos.
Electronics
LEDs, microcontrollers and pixel panels.
How we use it
The glow in the name signs, and the brains of the builds to come.
Deliver
Files, guides and videos for you.
Bambu Studio
The slicer, for a Bambu Lab X1C with AMS.
How we use it
Our own script writes plate-ready 3MF files with every setting and colour already assigned, so a Build Kit opens and prints with no setup.
Blender
3D rendering and animation.
How we use it
Product videos straight from the CAD files: exploded views, parts dropping into place, a record spinning in its crate.
