I’m Nikodem Bartnik, a maker, engineer, and content creator passionate about 3D printing, CNC machining, electronics, and programming. From building award-winning drones to developing open-source CNC machines, I love tackling complex challenges and sharing my knowledge with the world. Join me on my journey of innovation, where creativity meets engineering!

My beginings

​

My journey began with a fascination for technology, which led me to explore different fields and share my creations with the world. It all started with developing websites and Android apps with a friend, but everything changed when I got my first Arduino board at the age of 15. From that moment, I became deeply interested in hardware projects, combining electronics, 3D printing, and programming to bring my ideas to life.

​

​

Some of my early projects included the DIY EggBot, a machine that draws on eggs, the FollowBot, a robot that tracks and follows red objects, and the Ludwik Drone, a fully custom-built drone. These projects - and many others - were shared on Instructables, where they won multiple international competitions and were featured on major tech websites. Seeing people from around the world recreate and improve my designs was incredibly rewarding and motivated me to keep building and sharing.

Start of a YouTube channel

​

At some point, I started sharing videos about my projects on YouTube, hoping to reach even more people. What began as simple project documentation quickly turned into a growing community of makers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts eager to learn and build alongside me. Right now my YouTube channel I have over 174 000 subscribers and over 200 videos published! My goal has always been to explain complex topics in an easy and engaging way, so that anyone - regardless of experience - can understand and create amazing things.

​

As my audience expanded, so did my ambitions. I launched ​Indystry.cc​, an open-source platform where I share some of my projects including ​IndyMill ​- an easy to build DIY CNC machine. This project has been replicated by thousands of makers across six continents, proving that innovation knows no borders (except Antarctica - for now!).

​

Today, I continue to push my limits by taking on new challenges, most of my projects focus on robotics with the combination of ​Machine Learning​ and ​Artificial Inteligence​, I also work on some IoT related products and develop bigger projects like ​IndyMower​. Whether it’s through my YouTube channel, business, or open-source projects, I’m always looking for ways to share knowledge, inspire creativity, and help others bring their ideas to life.

Proste Części - Simple Parts

​

In 2023, I decided to expand my reach and started a new YouTube channel called ​Proste Części​, where I share very similar content, but in Polish. The goal of this channel is to make my projects and tutorials accessible to a wider audience, particularly those who speak Polish and prefer content in their native language. Just like my main channel, Proste Części features DIY projects, tutorials on 3D printing, electronics, and programming, as well as tips on how to build and customize different machines and devices.
