About Me
Hi, I make 3D Printing and Electronics videos. This channel is fully independent! I make all of these videos and projects myself from start to finish. Including B-roll.
I do not use AI in the making of any of my projects, videos or images. Not even AI enhancing in any way whatsoever. I stand for supporting human work and oppose AI slop.
For me, the point of this whole YouTube thing is to have a bit of fun and earn just enough money to fund my next projects. If YouTube can become my job, I would be thrilled, but ultimately, my realistic path is to finish education and find a job in Electronic engineering.
The open-source community has helped me a ton when I was starting, and now that i've learned to make moderately advanced projects on my own, i hope others can benefit from my work in the same way I did.
I am based in the UK! Studying for a Master's degree in Electronics
Btw, the “bow” in my name rhymes with “low”, not “now” lol.
FAQ
A few things people ask me most often. Can't find your answer here? Reach out on the contact page.
I use a Sony A7 IV with a Sony FE 90mm F2.8 Macro G OSS lens.
On my lens, I have a 62mm 1/8 Black Diffusion filter from K&F Concept. I also occasionally use a 62mm Variable ND filter (ND2-ND400), also from K&F Concept.
I also have a Comica VM20 microphone, VILTROX DC-550 Pro Monitor, a SmallRig camera cage, a Neewer CA007 handle, a SmallRig 15mm rod base plate, SmallRig 15mm rod clamps, SmallRig 12 inch rods, and a SmallRig AD-01 tripod.
I also have a few 3D printed camera rig accessories, such as a battery holder and a lens cap holder. These can be found on my Printables page!
I use Epidemic Sound! You can find my playlist here.

I used to play Minecraft a lot, specifically "Skyblock" on Hypixel. This is basically a minecraftified Runescape. But anyways, it used to be really cool to be named after items in-game, especially without any numbers, underscores, etc, so once I had the opportunity to take the name "magmabow", I just grabbed it immediately and it has stuck ever since.
mozmail.com is just an email forwarding service. It forwards your emails to my gmail account (and vice-versa for emails I send). It just adds an extra layer of safety and prevents everyone from knowing my gmail. I am in the process of making it possible to email [email protected]!
It depends entirely on the complexity of the project. Simple designs or PCBs can be quick. For purely digital 3D designs, it could be around a day or two, but anything that requires physical manufacturing will take a minimum of 1-2 weeks. It all depends on the delivery wait time for materials. More advanced mechatronic or manufacturing work takes longer. I'll always give you a realistic timeline estimate before we start. If your commission is urgent, please let me know in your request. A quicker turn-around will come at a higher cost due to priority shipping.
I'm based in the UK. I'm happy to ship worldwide for physical commissions, but you'll be asked to cover the shipping cost.
This is handled on a case-by-case basis depending on the stage of the project and the reason for the request. Get in touch and I'll do my best to work out something fair.
For commissions or important/urgent questions, please go over to the Contact Me section below for my email addresses. Please contact the suitable address. Either business or personal. Alternatively, message me on Printables or leave a comment on YouTube. I try my best to read all of the YouTube comments but your message may be missed there.
Check out my Media Kit page! For any questions or other arrangements, please contact me! I am always open to discussions.
I am open to receiving your product without any arrangement or agreement. If its a good/useful product, I will use it and feature it in my video(s) for free. Otherwise, it may be used in the background and not featured on camera e.g if this is a camera accessory, lighting tool, etc. Without an agreement, I probably won't link the product in the description nor call it out by name. If you are interested in this, please contact me if you want to send me something! I will provide a suitable address (usually P.O address). This option is completely free, as opposed to sponsorships, which typically require a fee, but allow you more control over how the product is used/featured.
