Makers are those who learn by working with their hands, whether with knitting needles or welding torches. I have the most experience making with CNC tools, handheld power tools, digital software, painting, and electronics.

3D Printers
I first used 3D printers in 2015 and was captivated at the way they seemed to manifest parts in a flash. The way they enable an idea at the start of the day to be in your hands by the end is a big reason why I became a mechanical engineer.
I visited my first 3D printing convention, 3D Printopia, in 2025! It was a lot of fun to see the awesome things people do with the technology and the exciting experiments in progress.
Some things I’ve printed
Replacement Parts
I have experience creating service-ready replacement parts from physical and digital references.
All parts below are designed by me.
Functional
There are tons of small projects and household fixes that benefit from custom printed parts.
All parts below are designed by me.
Decor
My colorful filament library and PrusaSlicer enable me to produce fun items to liven up a room. Growing my ability in Blender and organic modeling techniques is a goal of mine.
All model painting by me, modeling besides Patrick and the border collie by me.
Cosplay
3D printed props and armor have been the primary way I create costumes for cosplay. Full details of the projects can be found here.
Electronics
I dabble with electronics in my mechanical work. Experimentation has helped me develop a functional understanding of circuit design, troubleshooting, and different components. Electromechanics—where mechanical energy is converted to and from electricity—is what interests me the most, but I do enjoy a good seven segment display or colorful LED.
I am gaining lots of valuable experience in the area of electronics as part of my pinball project.
