3D Printed in My San Francisco Apartment

I got tired of my boring corporate badge holder. So I fired up my Prusa, grabbed some espresso, and designed something that actually makes me smile during the morning badge-in ritual.

Now I make them for fellow badge-carriers who appreciate good design and a touch of Golden Gate pride.

The Daily Badge Struggle is Real

We've all been there. Monday morning. Coffee in one hand, laptop bag sliding off your shoulder, fumbling for that badge at the office door while everyone waits behind you.

Your badge holder shouldn't be another source of morning stress. It should be the one thing that actually sparks joy during your commute. Something that makes you think, "Yeah, I've got my life together."

That's why I started making these. Not to revolutionize badge holders. Just to make that daily ritual a tiny bit better.

Behind Every Badge: A 3-Hour Journey

Each badge holder takes 3 hours to print in my San Francisco apartment. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just me, my Prusa Core 1, and way too much espresso.

Watch Your Badge Come to Life
Layer by layer, each badge is carefully printed. The red bridge detail took 17 iterations to perfect.

Why This Matters (To Me, and Maybe to You)

Look, it's just a badge holder. But it's also that small thing that makes your Monday morning a tiny bit better. It's choosing something you actually like over whatever HR ordered in bulk.

Made in SF, With Pride

Not in a factory. In my apartment. Where I can hear the fog horns while I print.

💪

Built to Last Years

3 hours of printing = ridiculously overbuilt. This will outlast your job (statistically speaking).

Actually Looks Good

Because life's too short for ugly office supplies. Make your cubicle mate jealous.

"Every time someone asks about my badge holder, I get to tell them about this guy in SF who 3D prints them in his apartment while drinking too much coffee."

That's the story you're buying. A conversation starter that supports a local maker who genuinely cares about making something cool.
