Hey, I’m Matt! I’m a technically inclined maker and artist with roots in Mechanical and Manufacturing Engineering and a passion for turning ideas into tangible wonders! I specialize in bringing ideas into the physical world through various digital manufacturing techniques, like 3D printing, CNCing, and laser cutting. My days are filled with dreaming up whimsical toys & objects that bring joy to both kids and adults alike, and then testing them out on unsuspecting friends and their kids (they love it). I’ve joined the Honda Element community recently and I’m already blown away by the endless creativity and DIY spirit that runs through it. From ingenious modifications to quirky additions, these beloved “toasters” are a testament to the community’s ingenuity. I’m excited to add my own contributions to the mix, marrying my playful & practical designs with the playful essence of these unique vehicles. Hopefully I add to the creative pool of inspiration in the process!

Crab Accessories & “Gil the Crab” Collection
Add a little personality to your setup with the “Gil the Crab” collection—fun, functional accessories designed for Honda Element owners who don’t take things too seriously (but still appreciate a good build).
This category brings together a mix of 3D-printed accessories, novelty add-ons, and small upgrades featuring the signature crab design. From valve caps and cable organizers to vanity plates and drinkware accessories, these pieces are built to add character without getting in the way of everyday use.
Looking for a small, easy upgrade? Accessories like tire valve caps and cable pinchers are quick installs that add a unique touch.
Want something more visible? Vanity plates and display pieces help your Element stand out at meets, events, or just in the parking lot.
Just here for fun? You’re in the right place—these are the kinds of items people notice, ask about, and end up wanting for themselves.
All items are designed with the same attention to fitment and usability as the rest of the Element DIY lineup—just with a bit more personality mixed in.
