3D PRINTING
3D Printing is a great way to challenge my mechanical, electrical, and design skills. I enjoy iterating through multiple designs and printer settings to achieve the desired print. There is so much innovation currently taking place in the industry, and it's exciting to see what can be accomplished with different machines.
I assembled and calibrated the Rostock Max v2 3D printer kit from SeeMeCNC. It has a 10.5" diameter by 14" built height, with a heated borosilicate glass bed. The Rostock Max v2 is a delta machine with hot-end and layer cooling fans. I've printed with ABS and PLA so far, with satisfying results.
I designed this spice rack to hold 3 small McCormick spice bottles. The rack is printed with 2 holes in back and gets mounted to the wall. This was printed in ABS at 0.2mm layer height.

I designed this spice rack to hold 2 standard McCormick spice bottles by suspending them from the thin neck. The rack is attached to the wall by 2 nails - one through each corner of the rounded rectangular holes. This was printed in ABS at 0.2mm layer height.

I found a model of a cell phone charging station and modified it to my liking. I changed the way the sound is piped through the channel, and simplified some of the geometry. This was printed in ABS at 0.2mm layer height.
