Hi,
I posted a new video, this one is very important for me. Not only because it's my bachelor thesis project but also because it's something I wanted to build for a very long time. It's a 3D-printed (and open-source) star-tracking system for astrophotography. It's quite a complex project that I managed to get working nicely and I will continue working on it as my master's thesis. 

I was hoping that the video would do very well after investing a lot of time and effort in it (it also might be my favorite video I have ever made). Despite having very high engagement and average watch time it didn't. That's ok but I would like to know why. Is the topic not interesting? Is the video boring to watch? Or maybe you simply didn't even see the miniature while being subscribed to the channel? Any honest feedback is highly appreciated!

If you didn't see the video yet you can take a look at my channel.
Happy making!

For a very long time I have been thinking about starting a polish 🇵🇱YouTube channel with my projects. Secretly for the past few months I had been working on videos for my new channel  @prosteczesci .
Today is the day when I am releasing the first video (it's just a channel trailer, first real video will be published next week). I encourage my Polish audience to take a look and subscribe to the channel, I hope you will enjoy it!
Happy making :)

Because of the university, I am not able to work on my projects that much so here is a quick question. Should I focus on bigger projects and upload less frequently (DIY drone, drawing plotter, robot arm, Arduino-based LIDAR robot just to name a few) or should I divide those into smaller videos (calibrating the PID for the drone,  designing a frame, electronics, and programming, small upgrades to IndyMill CNC and some smaller projects)? Let me know in the comments below what you think and what kind of video would you like to see the most! And below vote for projects that you would like to see the most in my channel:)
Have a nice day!

Just wanted to let you all know about a small giveaway, I am going to give away 3 dust shoes made for a 500W spindle. To get one you need to leave a comment under the video and tell me why I should choose you :)
This is a design that I recently made for my DIY CNC (IndyMill) and it is working great! I will choose the winners soon. Watch the video here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k00Iw...

Here is something different. 
As you may know, I am not only into making but also into filmmaking, so I am trying to make some short films, just for fun but also I am submitting them to different contests. Below you can find a link to my submission for My Rode Reel 2020. This is my second ever short film and it tells a story about a bear that wanted to possess stuff. 
 https://www.myrodereel.com/watch/9350 
You can see the whole film by clicking on the bear image at myrodereel website and also below that you can find behind the scenes of how I made this film with my family. If you like the film and want to help (I really appreciate that!) you can vote for it by clicking the vote button (you need to confirm your vote with Facebook or Google)
Thanks a lot!

Except making and running I also like cycling, this year together with Dad we traveled 1300 km in 11 days and went half around Poland. You can see a video about that trip below, let me know what you think!

I heard that some of you have problems with the parts list and that it isn't complete so I made a Google Sheet with all of the parts, tools and 3D printed parts. There are links to different online stores and those are affiliate so by using them you support my work. I hope right now this list is complete if something is missing let me know I will fix it. Thanks for support everyone!
