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…

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.
