Similar to all enthusiastic Makers with a shiny new toy, DIYElectronics began as one guy sat on the floor of his student apartment to build the very first Prusa i3 Printer kits. Robert Mawbery (CTO) founded DIYElectronics in 2013 while he was still an engineering student at UCT. There, surrounded by midnight snacks, one of the best 3D Printer kits on the market was developed. The Prusa i3 has entered the lives of over 3000 South Africans and sparked an innovative SA Maker Community across the country. From 2013 to the present, DIYElectronics has upheld our passion as Makers with the goal of making innovative technology easily accessible to hobbyists, students, inventors and entrepreneurs in South Africa. What began as one Electronics Wizard supplying his college friends has turned into a successful startup company that is the leading supplier of 3D Filament and 3D Printers in South Africa, with over 20 staff members, multiple warehouses and offices, thousands of website products and over 40 manufacturers.
