G|LAB — prototypes and solutions from my workshop: electrics, code, wood and 3D print

What annoys you every day at work, while there’s no solution for it on the market?

I’m an engineer, an electrician, a programmer and a carpenter. In the LAB those four trades sit at one table — and a problem becomes a thing that works.

Four workshops

G|LAB is my workshop, where a problem from your work turns into a thing that works — with current, code, wood or plastic inside.

  • Electrics

    power, control, sensors, NFC — things that should switch on by themselves

  • Code

    on-device software, machine automation, small programs that do the work for you

  • Wood

    jigs, holders, enclosures and workshop furniture — not everything has to be plastic

  • Mechanics & 3D print

    spare parts, assembly jigs and a prototype in a few hours

The most interesting things happen where they meet: wood with current, plastic with code.

I test everything at my own machines.

How the LAB works

  1. Step 1: Problem

    You tell me, I ask and sketch.

  2. Step 2: First version, the fastest way

    Often a 3D print in a few hours, sometimes a board and a screw, sometimes a circuit board and code.

  3. Step 3: Test at a real machine

    Mine or yours. It has to work for a month before it gets a name and a price.

  4. Step 4: Done

    In the shop for everyone, or just for you.

Shop

Things that have worked at the machine for a month. For each one you see whether it’s in stock and when I’ll ship it.

Commission a build

Describe the problem. I’ll pick the workshop.

  1. Describe
  2. Talk
  3. Prototype price

I give the price after a conversation — it depends on how complex the thing is.

A request isn’t an order yet — first we talk.

Frequently asked questions

See the shop ✦
Which printers do the parts from the shop fit?

The service accessories fit DTF printers with an Epson XP600 or R1 printhead. Machine names are only mentioned for compatibility — every product card says exactly what it fits.

Do you only work in plastic?

No. 3D printing is the fastest way to a first version. The finished thing can be wood or metal, with electronics and its own program — depending on what it has to withstand.

When do you ship, and where to?

Items in stock ship within 1–2 working days, items made to order within 2–4 working days; each item shows which it is. I ship to the whole European Union. You see the shipping cost in the cart before you pay.

Can I return my purchase?

Yes. As a consumer you have 14 days to withdraw without giving a reason. This does not apply to items made to order from your own description.

How much does it cost to build a prototype?

It depends on how complex the thing is. Describe your problem in the “Commission a build” form — I give the price after a conversation, before I start anything.

Will you print my own 3D model?

Yes. In the 3D print calculator you paste a link to the model (MakerWorld or Bambu Handy) and enter the print time and grams — you see the price right away. You can also attach the file itself under “Commission a build”.

How it connects

LAB invents — and builds. What OPTIMA discovered and PRINT materialised becomes a thing that works here.
