Rocket Engine (abandoned)
At the end of senior year of highschool I started on a reusable rocket engine to test solid rocket propellant and the effect of different nozzle shapes on thrust. I CNC’d out the plates and then manual lathed out the pipe, then finally I welded the end cap to the pipe, but left the nozzle…

Space Comic
This is a comic I made as a project for my AP Physics class, its not got a lot of story, but basically a space station craft falling into a black hole and deploying a FTL escape pod, overall its to show the gravitational warping that both a black hole and escape pod may have.…

Lens (3D Printed)
3D printing lenses provides the ability to make custom lenses quickly, and more importantly cheaply. This lens was printed on a Form 3 following my prism project. It was subsequently sprayed with more resin to take advantage of surface tension and try to smooth things out, then it was put in a lathe and wet…

Hand 3D Scan
This is a manual 3D scan, by that I mean probe based. Our precision machining program had a probe 3D scanner to check parts, I wanted to see whether it could handle soft bodys so I 3D scanned my hand.

Parametric Bird Houses
This is a system by which any birdhouse can be generated. Simply put in the dimensions and open the SolidWorks file, it’ll alter the dimensions and the drawing file will have everything you need for that birdhouse. The design is laser cut.

Lip Balm Render
This is a render I made for my friend, he was looking to start a lip balm business, so I took it as a opportunity to practice my modeling skills.

Great Naval Orange Race
Every year UCF’s intro engineering class has a boat race. The goal being from one side of the fountain to the other within an $80 budget and fully autonomous. See below my team’s report on the subject. This represented my first foray into LaTeX, intensive Arduino programming, and circuit design (including a custom mounting chassis).

Procedural Side Scroller
I’ve had a few goes at making games in unreal engine, this is a procedural side scroller, the original thought was a cozy parkour game where your the imaginary person who runs along side you as you stare out a car window. Of course it never lived up to that, but it still represents a…

RC Car Awards
I was part of the RC Car committee at the Faulhaber fab lab for three years, these were the 3rd year awards. I designed them in SolidWorks, then laser cut, assembled, and painted them.

Lasercut Mandalorian Helmet
This was a challenge I set for myself, I CAD’ed the entire design in 16ish hours. Then laser cut and assembled it. Best of all, the helmet actually fit people. As of the time of writing its currently serving as a light fixture at the Faulhaber Fab Lab.
