Things I made
for the love
of making.

3D printed objects, sculpted figures, and mechanical experiments. Sold through bkemstoreroom, or just sitting on my desk because I wanted them to exist.

01  ·  Sculptures

It started with
a concrete figure.

I saw AOKIZY make concrete sculptures of his own drawings and something clicked immediately. That's the real reason I got a 3D printer — not for functional objects, but for figures. For making characters physical.

bkem reading is the one I'm most attached to. Modelled after a mirror selfie, sculpted in Nomad, printed. Then I placed it on the shelf and bought more books to fill the space next to it. Still haven't finished one.

02  ·  Crates

Designing
the click.

The crate started as a storage problem. But the interesting part ended up being the mechanism — getting modular panels to lock together without screws, reliably, in a way that felt satisfying to use. Multiple rounds of tab geometry. The version that works holds a laptop, stacks with others, and snaps together one-handed.

03  ·  JDZDBowl

A bowl that’s
there but not really.

I wanted to make something deco. Started by printing a grid bowl someone else designed, then a lightbulb went off — model one using the same logic but with JDZD in the letterform.

Made three versions. More holes, fewer holes, bigger gaps. Still figuring out which one I like most.

04  ·  Desk

Strongboi was
the proof of concept.

Before the desk, there was strongboi — a small muscular figure holding a platform. I wanted to see if 3D printed brackets could carry load and still look intentional. It worked.

The desk is the same idea at a bigger scale. Wooden top, white printed brackets as both structure and aesthetic. A surface that holds a controller, AirPods, and a projector. It's a prototype. It works. More refinement coming.

Same logic, bigger scale. In daily use. Still being refined.

05  ·  Lamp

Work in progress

Still figuring
this one out.

The base is done — red octagonal, solid. The shade is temporary cardboard while I work out the geometry. The goal is a printed diffuser that softens the light without looking like it's trying too hard.

It's on the desk. It works. The "STAND W.I.P." note is still on it.
