I've always wanted to find a good way to use those carton boxes laid around... When the solar eclipse happened, I had an idea.... I could make a solar eclipse viewer from the cardboard! The tools we use today. Flatten the cardboard to make it easier to work with. Draw the template onto the cardboard. Tips: Draw dotted lines at where it needs to be folded. Also why not use the folding line to make things easier! Let’s start cutting! Be sure the place a cutting mat underneath f

I recently discovered this dish brush dispenser and immediately liked how practical it was. It makes washing dishes much easier without constantly getting my hands wet. The only issue was that the brush had nowhere to dry properly. The sponge and bristles stayed wet after use, which could eventually deform the brush or lead to mold buildup. To solve this, I designed a simple custom stand in Fusion 360 and 3D printed it. The goal was to keep the brush upright while collecting

My visit to the Design Museum was a reminder that design is much more than how something looks. At its core, design is a process carried out by people, for people. Every successful product is the result of a dialogue between three key roles: the designer, the maker, and the user. It is this relationship that transforms ideas into objects that shape our daily lives. Among the many exhibits, several stood out to me. The elegant No. 14 chair demonstrated how simplicity and thoug

Recently I picked up a pack of dual-sided acrylic markers — all neatly packed in a box. But … it is not the easiest to use. Every time I wanted a colour, I had to dig around. Putting them back was just as awkward, and seeing all the colours at once is almost impossible. So I thought — why not make something better? Inspired by something surprisingly simple (toothbrush holders 🪥), I designed a first prototype using Autodesk Fusion 360 — a single row holder to test if the mark

Recently I joined a decoupage workshop at the Imperial College London, hosted by Purls.UK — and it turned out to be such a refreshing creative experience. We started by choosing patterned tissues — that alone already lifted my mood. So many colours and designs… it was hard to decide. At first, I planned to decorate a plant pot. But somewhere along the way, I changed my mind and went for a small cylindrical box and a plastic container instead — sometimes the best ideas happen

During my visit to Beppu City Traditional Bamboo Crafts Centre, I joined a bamboo bell workshop. Despite the language barrier, the staff were incredibly kind and patient — craft really does have its own universal language. After the workshop, we spent some time exploring the centre. There were beautifully made bamboo baskets, each with its own structure, rhythm, and pattern. We also came across a space where local makers can work together quietly and attentively. Soft lightin

Moving to London has been one of the biggest changes in my life — new streets, new culture, and a completely different pace. But in many ways, it also feels like the right place to continue a journey that started years ago. My story with woodworking began in 2018 in Hong Kong. I was introduced to traditional mortise and tenon joinery — a technique where pieces of wood are joined together without screws or nails, yet remain incredibly strong and precise. That moment changed h

Finally got time to fix my A1 Mini after a hotend clumping🪛 I followed a repair guide found in YouTube and here’s the quick breakdown： 🛠️ What I did (briefly): • Heated the nozzle with maintenance mode to soften the plastic • Carefully removed the clumped filament • Disassembled the hotend step by step • Cleaned everything thoroughly • Cooled the nozzle to room temperature • Reassembled 🌟 Some important tips: • Wear proper heat-resistant gloves🧤 – the nozzle goes up to 25

Finally visited the 📍Novelty Automation in Holborn Impressed by My-Nuke that after the training you need to operate a mechanical manipulator to open the box and put back the “real plutonium” into the holes at the back. Once you drop it, there will be a loud alarm 🚨 Another one is the Money Laundering which transfers coins 🪙 to a balance using a magnet. At the end the balance shows how much “dirty” cash has slipped past regulation. Thought it was a museum about automation,
