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).

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.

Anglo-Saxon Lyre
My AP US history teacher from high school had a doctorate in history studying Anglo-Saxons aka vikings. So as a gift I made him a Lyre. The body was CNC’d out of wood and sandwiched between laser cut wooden panels. Then tuning pegs were put in and ukulele strings were used. As well the saddle…

Topographic Map I
This is a laser cut topographic map I made as a present to my step-grandparents. A height map was inputted into blender, and using a color ramp and z-height was sliced. I then took those slices and vectorized them, threw on a road layer, and finally a bathymetric layer. It ended up really pretty, but…

Power Supply
This power supply was heavily based off of KRALYN3D’s design. His video is excellent so let’s go over the changes I made: Overall this was the largest soldering project I’ve ever undertaken, however this was key to my long term goals of portable tool sets. Between the power supply and soldering kit, I am able…

Lasercut Guitar
This is one of the longest projects I’ve ever undertaken, it took 6ish months, and 6 full build versions. It was designed in SolidWorks, printed on a laser cutter, and rendered out in Blender. Down below is a 3D model to explore. …
