Bio
After years of designing functional engineering projects for my own workshop, prototypes and everyday needs, I’m now sharing them with the maker community. My models are practical, tested and designed for real use: tools, accessories, modular parts and parametric generators built with a technical mindset. CiCAdesign means functional design, experimentation and continuous improvement. Not just STL files: adaptable tools for real-world makers. Print it. Test it. Improve it. Use it.

New quick workshop fix! A print-ready Hose Plug & Tube Cap for one tube diameter at a time: no huge kit, no wasted parts. Choose the tube size, fit level and internal plug grip, then print only what you need. Supportless, flat-on-bed, fast to print, with reinforced concave transition under the plug head for better strength. Useful for tubing, testing, storage, prototypes and quick DIY repairs.

Your tube is not the CAD diameter. Before printing a hose connector, cap or sleeve adapter, print this tiny test card and check the real fit first. TIGHT / NORMAL / LOOSE. One quick print. One real-world test. No guessing. Small tool, big frustration saver.(Edited)

I wanted to try something different from the usual spinner ring. This is a print-in-place fidget ring where the custom text becomes the actual tactile grip of the rotating outer ring. So it is not just personalized visually: the message becomes functional. It can be a name, date, nickname, love message or signature. And it can also be used as a ring, pendant, bracelet charm or keychain. Your text is not decoration. Your text is the grip.(Edited)

#Cupholder 🥤 Ultimate Parametric Insulated Can Cooler I wanted to create something more than a simple cup holder or can sleeve. This project is a fully parametric insulated system designed around real beverage cans, with: • multiple can-size presets • fully custom diameter and height • double-wall air-chamber insulation • quick single-turn screw cap • internal removable TPU O-ring • customizable curved label • monochrome and multi-color printing • dedicated thread test • modular printable parts The original can remains the only liquid container, while the printed shell adds insulation, protection, grip and personalization. Body, label and text can be imported as parts of a single object and assigned to different filaments for a clean multi-color result. I designed every detail to be functional, printable and customizable. This is my entry for the Cup Holder Design Contest. I’d love to hear your thoughts, suggestions and favorite color combination. 💚💛 #Cupholder #ParametricDesign #3DPrinting #FunctionalPrint #MulticolorPrint #MakerWorld(Edited)
