Flight simulator joystick custom designed from the ground up. Inexpensive and easy to assemble. Uses linear hall effect sensors for pitch and roll control, a potentiometer for throttle control, an analog joystick to look around, and has a multitude of other buttons and switches which are fully customizable.
Some of my MSLA 3D printing creating using the Elegoo Mars 2 Pro
Custom made fume extractor for soldering using an old DC computer fan. The carbon filter can slide out for quick replacement, and a button box makes turning it on and off easy.
I created a custom 3D printed lens cap to fit a camera lens I use for astrophotography. Snug fit is achieved by using the soft part of sticky-back velcro on the inside wall. The velcro blocks light entry very well, and ensures a tight fit no matter the temperature (due to thermal expansion/contraction). Using a compressible material meant I did not need to print several iterations to find the dimensions for a perfect fit.
I improved upon a DSLR hotshoe to red-dot sight adapter I found online and republished it. My design is reversible, has a tighter fit, and is slightly longer to provide better stability for the red-dot sight. It can be printed without supports. It may be found at this link. I use this to help line up my camera to astronomical targets.
I created a 3D printable sight to mount onto a DSLR camera's hotshoe. It may be printed without any support. I used an angled build-up for the upper reticle to achieve this (see right image). This does not require any batteries, so is a good back up for the red-dot sight. It is approximately the size of a D cell battery.
After the button broke on our home coffee grinder, I redesigned it, made it stronger, and 3D Printed it to replace it. A few iterations were needed to get it to fit snugly. Prototypes were 3D printed with orange filament, and the final version was printed in black and is still in use as of August 2018.
In the summer of 2014 I built my first PC, after months of research and teaching myself online. Since then, I have helped my brother build his PC, and I've also helped two friends. It's just like big, expensive LEGO.
This was made for a 3D printing competition in one afternoon. It depicts the 3 examples of engineering disasters we hear the most about in school as mechanical engineers. (1) The Tacoma Narrows Bridge disaster, caused by resonant vibrations. (2) The failure of the Liberty Ships, from the brittle fracture of normally ductile steel. (3) The catastrophic failure of the windows of the de Havilland Comet, as a result of stress concentrations from square windows, coupled with fatigue. These three figures are presented on a bolt head.
