Vacuum Chamber
This was the first project I was assigned as of joining Dr. Jaesung Lee’s laboratory. As we do a lot of MEMS work, vacuum chambers are par the course. However commercial options are expensive and don’t offer the slew of features or modularity we require. So I started on a design. I have a background…

Metric/Imperial Gridfinity Sorter
Bolt sorters for metric and imperial threads. Works with Gridfinity, items can be stacked both above and below. This project is heavily inspired, but I failed to find full sized versions of both metric and imperial Gridfinity sorters. In the lab we use these to sort all of our screws for optics.

BOBS-PWEE50 Style Sample Holder
A 3D printed sample holder for thin film spectroscopy to measure blood hemoglobin affinity in the PWEE50 style for the BOBS™ machine by Loligo Systems. A small quantity (on the order of microliters) of blood is placed between two layers of Glad Go-Between Freezer Film, this is then stretched over the sample window via the…

Newtonian Telescope
This is one of the largest optics projects I’ve ever undertaken. I’ve had a fascination with telescopes for a long time, and as an optics student I finally have the opportunity to build rather than buy. So before we get into the process here are some specs, The base of the design is a carbon…

Longboard Render
This is a longboard design I made for a friend, we never ended up making it a reality but it was good blender practice.

Rover Game
This was my first Unreal Engine Project, a little rover game. I had big ambitions but the end result is a little vehicle project. You can play via the download here:

Cave Render
This is one of my first Blender renders. It’s an attempt at recreating the New Zealand glow worm caves. I sculpted the cave surface, and then added in the water, then using a object painting technique arrayed glowing spikes along the roof.

Solder Carry Kit
This kit contains everything you need to solder, but the power supply itself (and flux, and solder sucker, but those are optional). The helping hands of the system is an Omnifixo and its what the system is built around. As well there is a Pinecil V2, a solder roll, two tips, a USB-C cable, and…
