3D Printing Projects

Here's a bunch of 3D printed projects I started making in High School. I used to use TinkerCad, a free to use browser-based CAD software by Autodesk.

For my Mechanics of Materials class project, I constructed a test bench to evaluate a novel soft 3D printed material. The bed and torque wrench were printed in PLA, while the inner portion was made of TPU. This setup facilitated testing of TPU's material properties and visually illustrated the impact of increased surface area with consistent material properties.

I designed this simple part for a friend, providing a cost-effective replacement to a very expensive part for this little remote control truck.

This side project for Transcend Bicycles involved the design and fabrication of a wire holder and chain tensioner for their 80-20 test bench.

This was one of my earliest 3D printer projects! It was fully 3D printed, even the driveshaft and gearbox! Only the electronics and shocks were purchased for it, and it could drive and turn and go up difficult terrain. While most of the design was open-sourced, I modified much of the design to work together as a whole and improve the strength of each component.

My old VW Jetta lacked cupholders. I designed and printed this upscaled-tray, which fit two full size bicycle bottles, to replace the unused cigarette tray.

One of my earliest designs. In high school, I created a stand that would work with the standard Apple charging brick to hold the phone while plugged into a wall outlet. The design included enough space to wrap any length cord around it and the perfect sized insert to hold an Apple lightning plug and support a phone.
