Bio
I’m an Italian electronic engineer with a deep passion for technology, computers, and DIY projects. I enjoy creating new things, improving existing ones, and giving new life to old or scrap parts. Recently, I discovered the world of 3D printing and started working with a BambuLab P1S with AMS. I recently added the H2C Laser printer to my equipment. Designing, prototyping, and seeing my ideas come to life excites me, and I hope my projects can inspire, help, or bring enjoyment to others.

Floating Magic + Dynamic Shadows! Introducing the Kinetic Shadow Theater Hey everyone! I’m thrilled to finally share a project I’ve been working hard on for the MakerWorld Magnetic Levitation Challenge: the Kinetic Shadow Theater. It’s not just a levitating lamp—it's an interactive, moving canvas that transforms any dark room into an immersive theater of light and moving silhouettes. As the dodecahedron floats and slowly rotates, it casts sharp, evolving shadows across your walls and ceiling. Check out the full project in the below link. What makes this design special? 100% Supportless "Print-and-Fold" Frame: To make it A1 Mini friendly, the entire 12-sided core prints completely flat in two halves. It utilizes integrated 0.24mm living hinges and 58.28° miter joints. You just print it flat, fold it, and apply a few drops of glue. Perfectly balanced, zero wasted support material! 0.3mm Ball-Joint "Snap-In" Panels: The face panels are completely independent and interchangeable. I engineered a tiny 0.3mm spherical protrusion on the sides so you can easily pop them in and out from the outside without tools to instantly change the projection theme. The "Twist-to-Lift" Base: We all know aligning levitating magnets can be frustrating. I designed a custom cylindrical twist mechanism in the base. You just twist the outer ring to smoothly elevate the platform, cradling the dodecahedron exactly at its levitation sweet spot. Once it engages, twist it back, and the cover moves down—leaving the lamp floating in mid-air. Thermal Optimization: Built with a passive chimney-effect layout to draw fresh air from the bottom and keep the electromagnet perfectly cool. Infinite Customization (Make it Yours!)I want this to be a community project. Inside the .3mf file, I've included a completely blank pentagonal panel template. You don’t even need CAD software to customize it! Just open it in Bambu Studio, right-click, add a Negative Volume, and subtract your own shapes, logos, or text to create your custom shadow pack. I’d love to know what you think! If you print one, please share your photos and custom panels. I can't wait to see what themes you come up with! 🌊⭐🔮 #Kitchallenge #Maglevdiy

Meet WATSO: The Modular Wall Art Taking inspiration from Tangram (and from WORBY idea), this is a complete new system done from scratch. It is not a remix and not compatible with other models. Why WATSO? I wanted something that looks like a Tangram puzzle but works like a pro organizer. The Tech: "Shared Magnet" System The coolest part? I designed a Shared Magnet logic. Base: A large 20x2mm magnet. Tiles: Small 5x3mm magnets (you can decide how many magnets use) A single base magnet can hold up to 4 different tiles simultaneously. It’s efficient, strong, and keeps everything perfectly aligned. 🛠️ The Specs: Grid Module: 78mm x 78mm (Scalable from 1x1 to 3x3). Mounting: 3mm screw holes Assembly: Invisible press-fit junctions (snap them in from the back!). Functions: I’ve included Hooks, Shelves, and Containers alongside standard decorative tiles. 🎨 Infinite Combinations Whether you need a place for your keys, a shelf for your favorite Minifig, or just want to create some stunning 3D wall art, WATSO adapts to you. No fixed "top" or "bottom"—rotate the grids however you like! All parts available in .STL and .3MF. I’m super curious to see your color combinations. Post your makes and show me how you’ve arranged your WATSO wall! #Contests #Hostedbycreator #Homegallery(Edited)

HelixStep Pro — A spiral staircase generator built for makers who want full control After weeks of design, testing and refinement, I'm happy to share HelixStep Pro — a fully parametric spiral staircase generator built from the ground up for FDM printing, with zero compromises on print quality and assembly. 🌀 What makes it different? Most spiral staircase models on MakerWorld are static — you get one shape, one size, done. HelixStep Pro is a generator: every dimension, shape, texture and detail is tunable directly from the MakerWorld Customizer, with 33 parameters organised in 8 logical menus that follow your natural design flow. 🏛️ Pillar Choose from 7 cross-sections — triangle, square, hexagon, octagon, decagon, dodecagon or smooth cylinder. Dress it up with 3 decorative texture styles: Rings — horizontal bands with auto-bevelled edges (no supports needed, ever) Grooves / Ribs — vertical elements aligned to pillar faces Helix — spiral grooves that wrap around the shaft (especially stunning on the cylinder) Each texture works in both negative (carved in) and positive (raised) direction. The model automatically clears the step contact zones on positive textures so every step always sits perfectly flush. 👣 Steps Four shapes to choose from: Sector — classic full wedge Rounded — soft arc outer edge Petal — elegant elliptical taper Rectangular — clean modern look with adjustable corner radius Every step self-adapts to the chosen pillar shape via the Universal Cut algorithm — no manual adjustment needed regardless of what pillar you choose. Four anti-slip textures on the top face: Diamond, Linear, Dots, Concentric. The smart safety margin keeps the joint area always smooth and clean. 🪢 Railing Snap-in octagonal balusters with a pass-through eyelet at the top. Thread any wire, cord, filament or string through the eyelets to create a continuous handrail. Eight possible orientations per baluster for maximum assembly flexibility. 🔧 Print-ready by design Zero supports required — every geometry is engineered for FDM from scratch Pillar, steps and balusters are separate meshes in the .3mf — split and assign colours independently in your slicer (great for multi-colour prints!) 3 print layout modes: single step, single baluster, or full grid export for batch printing Real-time console diagnostics: step rise, overhang angles, joint depth and total stair height calculated and verified before every render 🎯 What can you build with it? 🏠 Dollhouses & 1:12 miniatures — every dimension scales to the millimetre 🏰 Fantasy dioramas — castle towers, lighthouse interiors, wizard keeps 🎲 RPG & wargaming terrain — compatible with 28mm, 32mm and any custom scale 🏛️ Architectural scale models — from 1:50 to 1:10 🎨 Decorative & display pieces — standalone objects, jewellery stands, ornaments 🎁 Personalised gifts — a meaningful print for architects and interior designers 📸 The photos The sample shown is printed in white PLA with a black filament threaded through the baluster eyelets as the handrail — no glue, no hardware, just friction and geometry. Configuration: 15 steps · 360° · rounded style · concentric texture · cylindrical pillar with ring texture. ...I forgot! Donald Duck and uncle Scrooge are not included! 😝 All feedback welcome — if you find a configuration that produces unexpected results, drop a comment and I'll look into it. Happy printing! 🖨️#Contests #Hostedbycreator #Parametrichomedecor(Edited)

H.I.T. - The Zero-Reset Reactive Target Stop walking, start shooting! H.I.T. (Hyper-modular Infinite Target) was born from a single goal: zero downtime. Thanks to its clever self-righting geometry, H.I.T. always lands ready for the next shot. No more manual resets, no more "walk of shame" to pick up your targets. Key Features: - Infinite Action: 8 target zones that rotate into position automatically. - Sacrificial Centers: Snap-in discs that break or deform on impact for clear visual confirmation of your accuracy. - Hyper-Modular: Only 2 main identical parts + an optional reinforcement sleeve. (Note: The sacrificial centers are optional but highly recommended for the best experience!) #Contests #Hostedbycreator #Springplaychallenge(Edited)

Step back in time – the iconic Singer sewing machine reborn in 3D print, with working pedal and fold-away magic. Miniature vintage Singer sewing machine – perfect for collectors, dioramas and home decor. I’ve always loved how the old Singer sewing machines were both tools and beautiful furniture. So I made a 3D-printable miniature – with working pedal, drawers, fold-away design, and tiny spools. A little piece of vintage charm, straight from the past to your desk!

I saw lot of models available on makerworld like clickers (or dummy versions) and I have tried to make a different type based on planar spring. The result is fully printable wthout any additional non printable parts and can work in silent mode or similar to click noisy.

I made an easy to print catapult for launching everything you want and also provided with its ammunition and to hold them all in one place. The spring (the catapult) and the base can be printed separately so you can mix the colors and replace the spring in case it will break.

Every time I connected to my P1S camera I wonder about chamber humidity and temperature. I decided to make a sensor holder to be fitted inside the printer chamber and I found this funny solution. Now, I can easily see them! I hope it can be useful also for you.

My sons love to play with Yu-Gi-Oh cards and they needed a place where store them organized. I made these boxes adding also covers and some separators. Finally I have added also a comprimible separator for a sort of self space. These boxes can store cards dimensions as Yu-Gi-Oh or Pokemon cards (also with cards sleeves).
