Owner, maker, tech geek, and outdoorsman blending years in web strategy with hands-on design. I 3D print durable, weatherproof EDC gear built for real life — practical, customizable, and made with care in my North Carolina workshop.

The Story Behind EveryDay Belt Rigs

I’ve always been the kind of person who’d rather fix something than replace it. I spend a lot of time outdoors, camping, working with wood, and tinkering with 3D prints. I’ve carried some form of EDC gear in my pocket for as long as I can remember, but after a while, the bulk and discomfort started to wear on me.

Most rigs out there are vertical and made of leather. Don’t get me wrong, leather looks great, but it’s pricey, wears out in bad weather, and isn’t easy to customize. I wanted something tougher, more adaptable, and more practical for everyday life.

That’s how EveryDay Belt Rigs was born. Each rig is 3D printed from durable, weatherproof materials and designed to ride horizontal on your belt, out of the way yet ready when you need it. My goal is simple — to create a modular, low-profile system that fits the most popular EDC tools and lasts through years of real use.

This shop is about more than printing parts. It’s about solving everyday problems with durable design and a maker’s mindset.
