Modeled a stepper-driven muscle actuator as a full assembly in SolidWorks for product design coursework, with rendered assembled and exploded views and a motion study. The 3D views show the mechanism with the front cover off (fasteners omitted), the key parts on their own, and the outer shell.
Tools: SolidWorks
Skills: Assembly modeling, product design and development, rendering
Group-designed SAD light therapy lamp for product design coursework at Western, modeled as a full assembly in Onshape. The pictures and the 3D view show the complete group lamp.
Tools: Onshape
Skills: Product design and development, assembly modeling, teamwork
Modeled and printed a replacement fridge door handle to restore full functionality — measured from the broken original and matched to the existing mounting points. A refined second version is now printed and installed (photo coming soon); both designs are viewable below.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Measurement and fit, functional part replacement, design iteration
Two-part under-monitor mount for a MagSafe charger: the charger press-fits into a slider that rides in a rail, extending to charge and retracting out of sight. Printed iterations refined the sliding fit, cable clearance, and the detents that hold the slider in its three positions.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Press-fit and sliding-fit tolerancing, detent design, iterative prototyping
Contract design job: a bracket that mounts a client's customer-facing point-of-sale display onto another monitor. Version 1 worked with the VESA mount that shipped with the display; Version 2 is a two-part redesign with a finned hinge joint that removes the need for the OEM VESA mount. Designed, iterated, and 3D printed to the client's space and mounting constraints, and delivered as a working part.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Client requirements, design iteration, adjustable joints, design for additive manufacturing
Individually designed SAD light therapy lamp from the same product design coursework, modeled in Onshape. The picture shows the assembled lamp concept; the 3D view shows the two-part diffuser with its paper diffusing insert.
Tools: Onshape
Skills: Product design and development, assembly modeling
Designed and assembled a cooling experiment using a CPU heat sink and variable-speed fan. Measured temperatures with a T-type thermocouple and NI USB-TC01 in LabVIEW, then analyzed heat transfer performance and time constants in Excel.
Tools: LabVIEW, NI USB-TC01 DAQ, Excel
Skills: Experiment design, data acquisition, thermal analysis
Developed a slim 3D-printed AirTag holder that attaches to a wallet, with integrated storage. Refined over three design revisions — all three are viewable below.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Compact packaging, iterative fit testing
Slim two-part storage box with a matching fitted lid, sized for sewing supplies.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Enclosure design, lid fit tolerancing
Designed a custom mount that positions a Wyze camera on a Prusa MK3S+ for remote monitoring of 3D print jobs.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Fixture design, rapid prototyping
Reverse-engineered a molded bag buckle and adapted the design for FDM printing, adding new attachment features the original part didn't have.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Reverse engineering, design for additive manufacturing
Compact mount that attaches a camera to a badminton net to record games for playback and review.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Fixture design, design for additive manufacturing
Replacement corner connector for a mesh window screen frame — the two legs press into the frame channels to join and square the sides.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Measurement and fit, functional part replacement
Slim slide-on cover for a key head, sized for a snug friction fit.
Tools: Fusion 360, FDM 3D printing
Skills: Friction-fit design, compact parts
