Personal Projects[edit | edit source]
ZX6R bracket replacement[edit | edit source]
-
Broken footpeg bracket for 2001 ZX6R sportbike, $90 to replace. Breaks every time bike tips over from the wind, being backed into, or falling while riding.
-
Finite element analysis strength simulation for PLA part under impulse load while riding. Factor of safety was later improved and material was changed to nylon.
-
Test fitment of prototype part to motorcycle frame.
-
Functional printed bracket painted green visible on motorcycle. Three OEM brackets totaling $270 were broken before switching to printed parts. This project will continue to pay off for years to come as I continue to ride.
B17 Flying Fortress[edit | edit source]
-
B17 picture views scaled so print dimensions match real-life dimensions.
-
Spline outlines on right and top views.
-
Images split into many datum planes parallel to front plane
-
Splines on each datum plane pierce top and right outlines.
-
Splines are used to loft main fuselage. Similar method is used to loft wings.
-
Internal view of b17 assembly.
Tiger I Tank - Current project[edit | edit source]
-
Track links, torsion arms and bars, chassis and transmission designed and assembled.
-
Interior work continues with the aid of a reference photo on the right plane.
-
Chassis split into parts, printed, and assembled.
-
Torsion bars, load arms, wheels, track segments printed and assembled.
-
Engine and transmission printed and assembled with oil/fuel tanks and engine compartment bulkheads.
