01
Design & development
From an awkward fit to a new idea. CAD modelling, part design and a plan for how it will come together.
CAD / FIT / FUNCTIONIndependent design & build workshop
IDEAS INTOWORKINGTHINGS.
We design, prototype and build. Functional parts, electronics and automotive projects — made to solve a problem, then refined in the real world.

01 / CAPABILITIES
THINK IT THROUGH. MAKE IT WORK.
The right tool depends on the problem. We work across design, materials and hardware to find a practical way forward.
02
Prototyping & fabrication
Functional 3D prints, custom enclosures, replacement parts and one-offs. Build, check and adjust before making more.
3D PRINT / ONE-OFF / SMALL RUN03
Electronics & control
Hardware that connects the physical and digital. Experimental electronics, interfaces and custom audio or control projects.
HARDWARE / INTERFACES / AUDIO04
Automotive & custom parts
Parts shaped around the vehicle and the job. Adapters, interior details and functional solutions for a specific build.
AUTOMOTIVE / ADAPTERS / FABRICATIONILLUSTRATIVE CONCEPTS
A FEW DIRECTIONS AN IDEA CAN TAKE.
Concept visuals to illustrate possibilities. These are not documented builds or products for sale.
Electronics enclosures
A housing shaped around the controls and connections.
Functional adapters
A custom connection between parts that need to fit together.
02 / THE 33RPM SYSTEM
ONE WORKSHOP. DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS.
33RPM Lab is the workshop behind it all. Garage and Lab organise the projects. Drive is where finished automotive products belong.

GARAGE
The car is the starting point. Builds, custom parts, fabrication and experiments in the garage.

The idea is the starting point. Electronics, audio hardware, tools and things that do not exist yet.

03 / FROM THE WORKBENCH
REAL PROBLEMS. HANDS-ON WORK.
A few starting points from the workshop. Custom pieces and an experiment still in development.
33RPM / GARAGE
Drift-car headlight covers & intakes
Custom 3D design and printing for headlight covers and intake pieces.

Tweeter-pod adapters
Custom adapters for door-mounted tweeter pods. A small part for a specific fit.

FLX6 standalone development
An ongoing Raspberry Pi-based standalone-system experiment around the FLX6 DJ controller.
RASPBERRY PI / AUDIO HARDWAREWorkshop photography and build details will be added as the work is documented.
04 / HOW WE WORK
BUILD. TEST. THINK AGAIN.
- 01
Define
What does it need to do? Start with the problem, the fit and the constraints.
- 02
Design
Work out the geometry, materials and how the parts connect.
- 03
Prototype
Make a first version. Check it in the place it needs to work.
- 04
Refine
Test the result, adjust the details and decide what comes next.
05 / CUSTOM
NEED SOMETHING THAT DOESN’T EXIST?
An unusual part. A replacement that is no longer made. An idea that needs a first working version. Start with the problem — a finished drawing is optional.

06 / ABOUT 33RPM LAB
CURIOUS BY NATURE. PRACTICAL BY DESIGN.
33RPM Lab brings design, electronics and workshop work together. The common thread is curiosity: take a problem apart, try a different approach and turn the idea into something useful.
From the garage to the workbench. Always something to figure out.
