About Hox3D
Hello everyone!!!
My name is Clayton and I am the owner and founder of Hox3D LLC. I am currently a junior studying Mechanical Engineering in beautiful La Jolla, California at the University of California, San Diego.
I started Hox3D during my summer break after I graduated from high school in 2021. It all began when I was looking for other ways to funnel in sources of income to help me pay for my up-and-coming tuition bills. On top of applying for scholarships and working for my uncle, I felt I could be doing more to get ahead of the game.
While I was looking for other ways to make money, my room was cluttered with my LEGO® sets and my RC car was taking up a lot of space in the garage. I decided to make a mount for my Traxxas X-Maxx and a few of my LEGO® sets using my 3D Printer to save some surface space. After designing, printing, and hanging the items on the wall, I was blown away by how much of a difference it made to have them hung up, and how awesome they looked! It was at this moment that I thought, “I got it, I am going to sell these awesome wall mounts!” And boom! I found my new endeavor.
From there, I spent weeks designing and printing prototypes, testing my mounts, finding their weaknesses, and making sure they would make other people happy! My goal was (and still is) to send the best quality mount to customers, so they can enjoy seeing their favorite toys hung up on the wall, just like I do!
I started selling my mounts on Etsy in June of 2021 and at the time, Hox3D was named HoxCorp3D since I thought that name was cool and professional. After my mounts began to gain traction, and customers began requesting more mounts, I realized that what I was doing was working for me, so I used the money I made to buy another 3D Printer, and since then, HoxCorp3D has kept growing.
As my Etsy Shop was getting close to 1,000 sales, in addition to selling on Etsy, I decided it would be best for me to build my website and form an LLC. I also realized that saying “HoxCorp3D” was a little complicated, so I changed the name to Hox3D to make it simpler and easier to say.
I have now surpassed 8,000 orders across storefronts, and I can’t thank my customers enough for their support over these past years. Knowing that I have sent out over 10,000 individual mounts to customers all over the globe brings a lot of joy to my heart. I can’t express my sincere gratitude for my customers trusting my mounts and helping support my college adventure.
Hox3D LLC is something I am very proud of and I love how I was able to combine my passions for CAD design, 3D Printing, building LEGO®, and RC Cars, and use them to help me pay for college. Also, now my mom accepts that I have a valid excuse to buy more LEGO®!
Anyway, thank you for reading this piece, any purchase from my website or my Etsy Shop goes a long way in helping me pay for my college education! So thank you for taking the time to read this and looking through my store, and I hope you find something you like!
