Hobby

Things I make when nobody asks me to.

Evenings and weekends go to a 3D printer, a stack of prototype game cards and a long list of apps I wanted to exist. All of them share a rule from my day job: no accounts, no tracking, no data collection.

3D printing

Designing for the nozzle

I design functional parts, toys and game components for home FDM printers and publish them for free. The same obsession with “how does this actually get made?” eventually turned into a CAD application of its own.

Lets3dPrint

Print-ready CAD built around your 3D printer. Exact solids and a full step history, plus the things other modelling apps leave out: textures pressed into any face, surface waves, flow-line lampshades and vases, smart objects placed many times, a library of parametric parts, CSV data as 3D bars, twist locks, threads that actually print — and a nozzle-aware Print Check before you slice.

  • Native on Mac; modelling is free
  • Exports STEP, 3MF and STL
  • Nozzle-aware Print Check catches unprintable geometry early

Board games

Markets, politics and a printer

Two original designs — one fully 3D-printable, one about shaping a country. Both built, play-tested and tuned with the help of simulations.

Speculants — Market Manipulation Printable Game

A competitive, market-driven board game for four players about cryptocurrency trading, manipulation and timing. Buy low, sell high, crash the market and outplay your opponents. Every physical component is printable on a home 3D printer and designed for clean, modular assembly — fourteen plates, four colours, free to download.

Nowa Reformacja

A political strategy board game (in Polish). As the leader of a party you shape the future of the country through laws, investments and alliances, competing with other players for influence, votes and resources — cooperating or confronting as the changing reality demands. Free for private use; the rules and components live on GitHub, and an AI-built simulation balances the game.

Side projects are where I test whether the principles survive contact with a Saturday afternoon.
