As promised I'm doing a giveaway! Details here:


I'm getting bombarded right now but I'll definitely read all the comments ❤ Thank you so much.

worries about being out €500 ... buys €12k sandblasting robot.

Now we need an iPhone case for the same purpose - keeping a perfectly fine working device longer without buying a new one.

[shApYT]

I am so happy to see the reduce reuse repair recycle trend getting bigger across the internet

[BrinsleyMorrison]

The ammount of skills and effort to get it looking so clean is insane

[rozdee]

My boy is gonna take a trip to space just for a 2 second clip of narration

7:13 felt that. 100$ more on faster shipping just to loose everything

[siteking]

Nice one! Just bought one, as I now don't have an iPhone with Lightning anymore. Great possibility for an upgrade without purchasing the same AirPods just for USB-C

[memoktc]

Good job for helping millions of people gain access to usb C without buying a new device

10:10 "New Airpods Pro 4 can now stand up, and for only $50 more" could very well be a new feature and "Apple innovation". Congratulations on your work man, all of us who have ever dealt with electronic problems and solutions know ALL the work that is behind it.

[SyNoon]

The fact you just casually buy the media blaster just makes me mad jealous LMAO
Also the fact you have SLM printing and PCB reflow stuff

[Witya]

2:14 suddenly Matterhorn.... well done!

[alessiosem]

You sir, are a modern hero, people like you are the reason we thrive as species.

Finally a YouTuber maker that sells his work. I know there are many out there, but a lot of them have the tools, have the engineering genius, but just make stuff for themselves.
Those are the worst kind of videos. Good job mate 👏👏👏

[JacobRhine-qs]

So gangster. Can’t believe the power we have today in our little workshops. I thought my 3d print farm was crazy but this guy is making his own electronics.

[itsdarkos]

No idea how this guy is able to amaze me over and over again!

[GazdaZuBB]

I am an Android guy, but as an engineer, I do admire this kind of work and dedication. thanks for the great video

[timhuerzeler]

I definetly want to see your workshop :)

[brittanylevinson]

Exceptional humor.

Great design.

Perfect video.

7:40 the case looks like Tim Cook’s face when he finds out you’re doing what his overpaid engineers in Cupertino couldn’t do 😅
