As my christmas project 2017, I decided to take a deep dive into the world of 3D modeling using Blender while watching the famous Blender Guru donut tutorial. Since then, I used Blender for more than a 1000h and for many different tasks. I learned how to unwrap models, create materials, rig and animate characters, simulate fluids, use photon based rendering as well as motion track video footage. For my professional work, I converted and fixed hundreds of 3D models either for 3D printing or to make them look good in augmented reality.

Story: Usually, the most interesting ideas form while brainstorming over a few beers. This is also true for the dot bot project. Although the original concept used to be the construction of a robot which uses spray cans to paint murals and was supposed to… Read more: Dot Bot - Kalimba Playing Robot
2020 was quite the boring year. To ease things up a little, I bought myself a Kalimba from that online marketplace we all overused by a lot. Learning to play a new instrument is always a lot of fun, but as with every new hobby,… Read more: Kalimba Playing Robot - 3D Printable Magnetic Chess
Also, during corona summer 2020, I came up with the idea to create a 3D printable magnetic chess board.
