More than a project; it's an adventure!
Maker, breaker, and tinkerer Ro builds cool things inexpensively — 3D printing, pallet woodworking, tool teardowns, and creative problem-solving chaos.
Real builds, real mistakes, real solutions. No fluff — just making and breaking.
See what DIY Dive is all about. Projects, tool teardowns, 3D printing, pallet builds, and the occasional spectacular failure. If you like breaking things as much as making them, you're in the right place.

"Things are guaranteed to not go as planned. I try to be competent but I am not an expert. That's sort of the point — and what makes it fun. We solve problems in creative and entertaining ways." — Ro, DIY Dive
Every failed print, every misaligned joint, every "The Problem All Along?!" moment is just tuition. The goal isn't perfection — it's making. Then breaking. Then making it better.
3D Printing — From unboxing to troubleshooting to eventual victory. CR-X deep dives,
bed leveling science, and the reality of budget printers.
Woodworking — Pallet upcycling is our specialty. Trampoline stairs, workbenches,
and anything you can build from free wood.
Tool Teardowns & Hacks — We test methods head-to-head. Power vs leverage vs gravity.
Real comparisons, real results.
Creative Problem-Solving — Warranty-voiding advocacy for "life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness." Hack, tweak, modify, improve.
The dream is a brick-and-mortar DIY Dive Makerspace — a community workshop with a 3D printer farm, wood shop, metal fab area, electronics bench, and project assembly zone. Membership-based, sliding scale, community-funded. Every community deserves one.
