Share
We’re thrilled to announce Romirnix as one of the winners of the Founder’s Choice Award in the Modi Boxi May The 4th Be With You Photo Contest! Their incredible Star Wars-inspired Modi Boxi build caught the attention of our co-founder, Trapper, and we couldn’t wait to learn more about the mastermind behind the project.
An Interview with Romirnix:
Trapper@Modi Boxi: First off, congratulations on winning the Founder’s Choice Award! Your Yoda-themed entry was a standout. Can you tell us a little about yourself and how you got started with 3D printing?
Romirnix: Thank you! I’m a disabled Air Force veteran and dad. I served for nearly six years before being separated due to hip issues. My family gifted me a Voxelab Aquila C2 for Yule in 2022, after I spent two years researching and debating if I wanted to dive into 3D printing. I guess they got tired of hearing me talk about it and decided to get me started! Once I began, I knew I wanted to do more with it.
Trapper@Modi Boxi: First, thank you for your service! How did you first hear about Modi Boxi and what made you jump into our community?
Romirnix: I found Modi Boxi on Kickstarter just as the campaign was wrapping up. I was blown away by the concept of a fully 3D-printed modular box system, and I saw the potential for it, especially for Dungeons & Dragons.
Trapper@Modi Boxi: Yes, DnD has been a big inspiration for a lot of our users! Is that your main use for Modi Boxi, or are there other builds you’re working on?
Romirnix: Right now, my Modi Boxi builds are mostly used to organize parts and pieces for more Modi Boxis. I’m currently working on a medium drawer to organize my print room tools and spare parts. It’s almost finished, and I can’t wait to start using it.
Trapper@Modi Boxi: It’s so funny—my first Modi Boxi build was also to organize more Modi Boxi parts! It’s like a tackle box for 3D printing. So what inspired the Star Wars build you submitted for the contest?
Romirnix: The colors of my build represented two of the best-known Jedi masters: Yoda with his green saber, and Mace Windu with his purple saber. Their roles as Jedi were to lead and organize, just like Modi Boxi helps organize chaos. I thought it was a perfect representation of order in the universe.
Trapper@Modi Boxi: That’s awesome—you really took the theme deeper than I expected! So, in a way, Modi Boxi helps you wield the force? I’ll take it! Before we wrap up, anything cool you’re working on that you’d like to share?
Romirnix: I’m just starting my social media presence and preparing for some local events. You can follow along with what I’m doing at
