Personal Projects

These Autodesk inspired signs were made as a gift to my high school engineering teacher. The Fusion one was apart of a different timeline, and the others were made later. Screenshots of the CAD models can be viewed below.  I enjoyed modifying the existing files in this project because the overall structure of the signs are consistent throughout all three.  Project completed Senior Year

Getting further through Highschool means touring colleges. With those tours come pictures of the cool buildings from my visit. I figured I would experiment with a plotting attachment for my 3D printer to further immortalize my visits to many colleges across the US. Pen fixture point utilizes a compliant mechanism to give the drawing tool some spring. The attachment was 3D printed and  assembled with M4 bolts. Project completed Junior year.

Taking some inspiration from the lightning bolt that I created for my uncle, the octosign combines 3D printing, soldering, and the idea of light up wall art in one complex design. I started with the basic shape of an octagon and thought about how I could take it further. The complex portion of this project was definitely the soldering which in total took me about 4 hours to accomplish. The white parts of the sign were made from glow in the dark filament which looks pretty cool when the lights are off. Project completed Sophomore year.

This project is a concept I created for people that don't want to spend a ton of money on fancy smart home devices.  With an old tablet, this mount can be used to display whatever the user chooses. The mount is 3D printed out of glow in the dark filament for easy visibility when the lights are off.  Screw Holes are included in the frame for a more permeant solution, magnets hold the front cover and iPad in place

This project was a request from my uncle who had seen a similar project I had made a while back and thought one might look cool in his buddy's garage. The lightning bolt was created using Fusion 360 and was pretty quick to 3d print and install the LED light strip. The Bolt stands 20 inches tall by 6 inches wide. Project completed Sophomore year. 

This project was a necessity as my family was looking to spice up our patio. I found inspiration from a similar bench on a farm and took it from there. A chop saw, couple dozen screws, and a few trips to and from Home Depot was all it took for it to be complete. This project was an overall success, my family has friends over all the time who all say they love it. Project completed Freshman year. 

Going along with the bench project which included a fire pit, a wood shed was needed to house a winter's worth of firewood. This project was a little more complicated using more materials and tools. It is super beneficial keeping wood dry all year long.  This shed stands at about four feet tall and six feet wide. The angle of the roof portion is around forty five degrees and is made of aluminium sheet metal. The Body is primarily 2x4s surrounded by thin siding wood. Project completed Freshman year.

This was a project that I created after getting inspiration from a youtube video.  I saw it, and I wanted to build it. The bike and kit were bought off of Amazon and when they were delivered, I was way out of my comfort zone. But through the power of the internet I managed to put this thing together. There were some problems with reliability and parts failing but that didn't keep me from fixing it and riding it again. The fastest this bike went was 35 mph and is my favorite project I have built. Project completed Freshman year.
