Kapton Graphene
When Kapton (the funny little plastic tape) is laser cut it breaks down into a graphene foam. While the uses are varied, it is a conductor and can be used for resistive heating, or laser engraved PCB design, as only the laser engraved portions become a conductor. This was a little experiment I did to…

Rings
It took quite a few iterations to figure out ring making. These were done on a manual lathe. The first is made of brass, and barely fit, and was quite uncomfortable. The second one was steel, that ended predictably, after a few days I took the ring off my finger to be met with rust.…

Cabin Render
This is a quick render I did for fun and to learn how to import stuff into unreal engine. It was modeled and made in blender. This is one of my earlier renders.

Totoro Render
I love the little coal sprites from Totoro so I tried rendering them out, and learned the hair system in blender.

Prism (3D Printed)
This was my first test in 3d printing optics. The prism was printed on a Form 3 aka a SLA resin printer. As you can see with a bit of polishing I was able to make a working prism. This was advanced when I made a lens.

Surfer Render
So I had a black hole 3d render pop up on my feed so I learned how to do it, but I couldn’t get the colors perfect, so I doubled down. As such this is a rainbow iridescent surfer going around a rainbow black hole. Made in Blender.

Turn-it-in Box
My mom was a teacher, she asked for a box for students to turn in papers. This is laser cut, and the back has hinges and a locking mechanism.

Lasercut Ukulele
As soon as I finished my guitar I realized how hard it was to play, so of course I decided to start on a ukulele. While technically the design is ready to print I never got around to it. The design was made as before in Solidworks and parametric so it can be laser cut…

Automated CNC Lathe via UR Robot
This was one of my senior high school projects as part of Suncoast Technical College’s Precision Machining course. The robot is a UR5, it’s connected to the CNC lathe via a fiber optic connection and a raspberry pi. That way the robot can trigger a G-code signal to start the program. I had a PVC…
