Hey, I’m Cam.

I print unnecessary things — and then make videos about them.

Light switch covers with too many gears. Giant versions of tiny parts. Gadgets nobody asked for. If it can be over-engineered, I’ll find a way.

PluggedIn3D started as a hobby in July 2025. One year, four platforms, 88 million views, and six Bambu Lab printers later — it’s a full-time thing.

What I do here

My flagship series is Over-Engineered Light Switch Covers. Viewers drop a comment, I build it. Some of them should probably not exist. That’s kind of the point.

I also run:

  • The Poop Problem — a series about what to do with all the waste filament a multi-material printer spits out. Yes, it’s really called “poop.” No, I didn’t pick the name.
  • Spool to Zero — how much can you actually print from one roll of filament?
  • Top Prints This Month — monthly countdowns of what actually wowed me.
  • How It’s Made — my deadpan parody version.

Every layer matters. And so do you.

Why I started

I’ve been making stuff my whole life. Side hustles since I was a kid. Cookie cutters on Amazon. A band called Ideal Perception. Custom cars. Home projects. The through-line has always been the same — take a weird idea, make it real, see what happens.

3D printing became the best hobby I’d ever had. Then it became a business. Then it became the business.

On December 31, 2025, I left my day job of ten-plus years to do this full-time. I have three kids (Ender, Ezra, and Everly), a wife who actually watches my videos, and a print farm that hums 24/7 in my basement.

This is the dream job I didn’t know was available.

The setup

  • Six Bambu Lab printers (A1 and P1 series)
  • Print farm automation — from print queue to shipment, fully automated through custom software I built
  • Studio — Rode NT1-A, Focusrite Scarlett, and my son’s old iPhone SE 2 as the main camera because the fancy Nikon was too heavy
