Custom water-cooled PC builds, component upgrades, electronics repair, 3D printer mods, PCB design & layout work, and the weird hardware problems nobody else will touch. If it needs to be opened up, I can probably handle it. I can also model & 3D-print specialty parts.
What I Work On
// Custom PC Builds
Full system builds from scratch — gaming rigs, workstations, home servers, NAS builds. Air or water cooled. I can source the parts, assemble, and configure everything.
// Component Upgrades
RAM, storage, GPU, CPU upgrades. I’ll tell you honestly whether an upgrade is worth it before you spend the money. Unfortunately, it’s getting harder to replace parts in computers, especially laptops, but I can let you know whether it’s worth the time and effort to replace a failing hard drive.
// Electronics Repair
Soldering, board-level diagnosis, capacitor replacement, and connector repair. Old macs, desktops, laptops, monitors, consoles, audio equipment. I can even turn an old iMac into a 5K display.
// 3D Printer Modifications
I am most familiar with FDM printers right now. I can do hotend swaps, extruder upgrades, EDDY probe installation, and firmware configuration. If you have a resin printer, I might point you to some more experienced friends of mine, depending on exactly what the issue is.
// PCB Design & Fabrication
Custom PCB design using Eagle CAD for small-run projects, prototypes, and one-off solutions.
// Molding & Casting
Custom parts, enclosures, and props using silicone molds and various casting resins. Not typically something I do for electronics persay, but it can come in handy for certain display-type builds.

Hardware FAQs
Do you build custom PCs?
Yes — including water-cooled builds, workstation builds, and gaming rigs. I source parts to fit your needs and budget, assemble, test, and configure the BIOS and OS drivers.
Can you fix audio equipment?
Possibly, but I’m not well equipped with a workspace to handle that right now. I’d probably refer you to a couple of specialists who do it better.
Do you work on 3D printers?
Yes — calibration, firmware, mods, and general troubleshooting. I run a heavily-modified K1 Max myself and have hands-on time with other Creality and Bambu machines. I’m more familiar with FDM printers than resin ones.
