Answer one practical question with a physical prototype.
A sensor enclosure prototype to check fit, mounting and cable access.
Sample quantity and fit checks agreed in your quote. Printing beyond the credit, electronics and extra iterations separate.
Electronics, additional test cycles or multiple concepts add scope.

Have a model ready? Bring it into the real world.
A small desk cable guide printed from your finished 3D file.
Design changes, shipping and special materials quoted separately.
Part size, quantity, print time, supports and finish affect the quote.
Start with printingSelected follow-on work, scoped after a readiness review.
Example: read a sensor and report its values over USB. Up to 12 hours for one defined feature on an agreed development board, source code and bench-test notes. Hardware, custom PCB design and certification excluded.
Plan a firmware featureExample: prepare a tested enclosure design for supplier quotes. Up to 6 hours to prepare one RFQ and compare up to three available supplier quotes. Ongoing coordination at $125/hour, with an agreed cap.
Explore manufacturingAdditional design and firmware work: $125/hour, approved in advance. Production, tooling, samples, freight, duties and taxes are separate. Starting prices depend on complexity and capacity; no order or payment is taken on this site. If a project exceeds the included scope, we agree on a revised quote before additional work.
START WITH THE PROBLEM
You bring the goal. We’ll help define the work.
YOUR STARTING QUESTION
Start with part design
Reconstruct the shape from measurements or an existing part, then plan a fit check.
Suggested starting point. You can change the service in your brief.
01 BUILT AROUND YOUR NEXT STEP
Start with a noncritical enclosure, protective cover or bench aid. We agree on what to make, what to check and what you receive.
Bring a sketch, reference part or recurring problem. Agree on dimensions, interfaces, intended use and the files you need.
Develop a simple enclosure, cover or bench aid. Use a physical sample to check the agreed interfaces and record what needs to change.
SELECTED WORK / 2020—2023
A museum collaboration, our own printer development, and hands-on education. Real projects that shaped how we turn ideas into physical things.
01 / GIBBES MUSEUM OF ART · 2020
On October 16, 2020, we presented a 3D-printed replica of the Veiled Lady to the Gibbes Museum of Art. Printed with Eve, the replica was intended to be held and explored, particularly by people without sight.
The project connected our printer development with a practical purpose: making the form and detail of a work of art accessible through touch.
Collaboration led by Tiffany Silverman. 3D scan by James Bezjian and Dan Hawkins at The Citadel, with the opportunity provided by the Gibbes Museum of Art.

ORIGINAL DESIGN ARCHIVE / ADAPTABLE CARRIAGE
02 / EVE PRINTER DEVELOPMENT · 2020
Our 2020 development archive records a functional first printer prototype and the evolution of the Eve printer design. These original carriage drawings show one part of that work.
Today, that hands-on perspective informs how we approach fit, assembly and iteration—with AI-assisted design supporting the process.
What are you working on?03 / ECM & NORTH CHARLESTON HIGH · 2023
Working with Engaging Creative Minds (ECM), we helped students explore 3D printing and entrepreneurship. In 2023, North Charleston High School students brought their work to the North Charleston Farmers Market.
That spirit carries into our work: start with a question, explore a possibility and make the next step practical.
04 / VORON BUILDS · FROM 2022
Alongside Eve, we began assembling and distributing Voron 2.4 printers in 2022. Building these open-source machines extended our hands-on experience with printer assembly and integration.
Voron is an open-source design. Our role was assembly and integration.
03 / HOW IT COMES TOGETHER
Agree on the problem, deliverables, budget and acceptance criteria.
Develop the model, code or prototype. Review at clear checkpoints.
Test what matters, document the result and plan the next stage.

Make this a starting point for your own enclosure.
Start a project like this 90 × 60 × 28 mm · silver visual finish. Your selections will be attached to the brief.90 × 60 × 28 mm shell at the default setting. Finishes are visual studies, not material specifications. Fasteners, clearances, electronics and thermal performance need physical validation.
