Smaller projects

Team project · SolidWorks, AutoCAD

Arduino Metronome Enclosure

Measured the PCB with calipers to set the enclosure geometry, then added a hinged front frame that secures the electronics and swings open for service.

UW Formula Electric · SolidWorks, FDM

Seatbelt Shaft Collar

Split collar that stops the seatbelts sliding along the chassis tube. Printed and fit-checked on the car. More on the team page.

Modelling practice · SolidWorks

Four-Cylinder Engine

Modelled each part and assembled a four-cylinder crank, rod and piston set from a guided tutorial to build SolidWorks assembly skills.

UW Formula Electric shop training · Lathe

Lathe-Turned Spacer

Machine shop training with Formula Electric: machined a spacer using facing, turning, chamfering and drilling operations.
