Zacbuilds is a Canadian maker and DIY technology creator whose YouTube channel sits at the center of the retro-gaming mod and hands-on electronics build space. His project roster — which spans custom Nintendo 64 and 3DS reconstructions, PlayStation hardware repairs, and experimental PC cooling setups — signals a creator who blends nostalgia-driven console culture with practical engineering craft. A declared affinity for "all things building and making" runs through his content across YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram, with YouTube serving as the clear home base for long-form project documentation. His engagement rate runs well above the category median, reflecting an audience that actively participates rather than passively scrolls.
His viewership is overwhelmingly male and concentrated in the 25–44 age band, with the majority based in the United States, United Kingdom, and his home country of Canada — a geography that makes him broadly relevant to English-language hardware and maker brands. Sponsor alignment reflects that positioning well: Canadian retail partnerships with Home Depot and Mark's Work Wearhouse anchor domestic credibility, while Ugreen and Fanttik point toward a growing relationship with the portable power and charging accessories category. As 3D printing and DIY tech hardware continue to attract enthusiast spending, Zacbuilds is positioned to move upmarket toward premium tool and electronics brands seeking a technically literate, purchase-intent audience.
Zacbuilds reaches an audience concentrated in Canada primarily through YouTube, and is best activated via long-form YouTube integrations, Instagram Reels and Stories, TikTok branded content. Their sponsorship history skews toward Smart Home / Security, 3D Printing / Tech, Tech / Power Stations, a clear signal of fit for brands in those categories. Demonstrated partners include Fanttik and Opera. Engagement on YouTube runs around 4.0%, pointing to an audience suited to category-relevant, mid-funnel brand campaigns rather than pure-reach buys.

Yes — one of Zacbuilds' most-watched YouTube projects involved rebuilding the classic N64 into a modern form factor, blending retro gaming nostalgia with contemporary engineering and design. This kind of gaming hardware rebuild has become one of the signature project types on his channel, alongside his custom Nintendo 3DS and PS5 content.
Zacbuilds regularly features the AnkerMake M5C in his builds, using it to fabricate custom parts, housings, and components for his projects. AnkerMake is one of his recurring brand relationships, and 3D printing is a core part of how he brings original designs to life on YouTube.
Zacbuilds posted a video about fixing and custom-modifying a PS5, which fits his broader pattern of taking existing gaming consoles and rebuilding or improving them. Console teardowns and custom hardware projects are a recurring theme alongside his original builds like the modern N64 and custom Nintendo 3DS.
In one YouTube project, Zacbuilds engineered a setup that channeled cold outside air directly into a PC as a cooling solution — an unconventional approach that showcases the experimental, problem-solving style his channel is known for. This kind of outside-the-box build is typical of how he approaches DIY engineering challenges.
Zacbuilds built a custom take on the "New Nintendo 3DS" — a play on Nintendo's own confusingly named "New" handheld line — creating a heavily modified version of the portable console. The project is a good example of his gaming hardware builds that combine fan nostalgia with hands-on fabrication using tools like 3D printers.
Zacbuilds has worked with Ugreen, Opera, Fanttik, Home Depot Canada, and Mark's Canada, among others. His sponsorships align tightly with his content — tech accessories, power tools, and maker-friendly gear — rather than being off-niche lifestyle deals.
Yes — Zacbuilds has featured Eufy Security products, including the Eufy Cam 3, in his content. His projects extend beyond gaming hardware into home electronics, security tech, and portable power gear like the DJI Power 1000, reflecting a broad interest in consumer electronics and practical builds.
Zacbuilds is a Canadian creator, which he highlights with a Canadian flag in his Instagram bio and through partnerships with Canadian brands like Home Depot Canada and Mark's Canada. Despite his Canadian base, the majority of his YouTube audience comes from the United States.
Zacbuilds is primarily a YouTube creator — his TikTok bio even explicitly directs followers to YouTube for full project builds, framing TikTok as a highlights feed rather than a main channel. YouTube is where he has built his largest following by a significant margin and where his long-form build content lives.
Zacbuilds has grown to nearly 700,000 subscribers on YouTube, placing him solidly in the mid-tier creator range for the DIY and how-to space. His engagement rate runs well above the typical category average, which points to an unusually active and loyal viewer base for a channel of his size.
