Design

These swerve modules were designed for the purpose of competing in an FRC competition, and to see how they match up against the current swerve modules being used, such as those from Andy-Mark. The modules were designed to be entirely gear driven to reduce maintenance upkeep, as well as designed to run on two NEO motors for powering the rotation and drive of the wheel(s). With the version 6 module, I was able to reduce the number of unique parts necessary, as well as maintaining a lower center of gravity as the attachment plate is shifted down ~1in lower than the version 1 module and the Andy-Mark module.

This flashlight design was inspired off of the water-cooled flashlight design created by Samm Sheperd: Water Cooled 72,000 Lumen LED Flashlight . My goal was to create a version  that could be assembled as a kit, with parts that can be either easily fabricated, or purchased online. I decided to use water-cooling components similar to those used in certain PC cooling applications, as I was already familiar with this cooling system. I decided against using a heat-sink cooler as it would both be a much higher cost to manufacture, as well as a much higher overall weight.

This CPU block is designed to fit an LGA 1150 socket Intel processor, and is inspired by EKWB's CPU water-cooling block designs. The block has 4 primary pieces, an aluminum attachment plate, a brass heat-transfer block, a laser cut rubber gasket, and a clear acrylic cover. The acrylic block and brass block were designed to be manufactured by a CNC mill, and the attachment plate would be cut by a water-jet from sheet metal. The acrylic block has two threaded holes on top that allow for the input and output of water, and the brass block has milled fins that allow for the water to more effectively dissipate the heat from the block.

This project was issued in the year one engineering course. The idea was to create a robust, unique, and innovative chair design made only of corrugated board and adhesive glue. The included renders are the two versions designed for this project.

This print was designed to fix a broken push-start wedge in a coffee grinder. The previous design for the wedge had no brace, so the wedge became weaker with each use, causing it to break off. As the wedge could still be used in the slot, I realized that the ideal solution would be to install a brace within the press so that the same profile for the slot wouldn't have to be recreated, as it would be considerably weaker than the factory wedge. Once the brace was installed into the press, the wedge was then glued back to its original position, and the press was put back onto the lid. The brace was made to be a low profile so the sliding action of the press was retained while preserving strength.

This end cap was requested for a replacement as the previous end cap on a storage rack fell off and was lost. The cap was manufactured on a 3D printer using PLA filament, has an o-ring to prevent water from accumulating inside of the tubing, and has an identical press-fit to the original version.

Stand was printed with holes to reduce material usage and overall weight. Diamond-shaped extrusions allowed for easier 3D print-ability due to reducing the maximum overhang angles.

This laptop camera cover was designed primarily for the Lenovo Thinkpad, but it would work for any laptop that has a similar camera design and a lid that offers enough space for the camera cover to lie while the laptop is shut. It is printed as one piece, but the two sections easily split so the camera can be covered and uncovered with ease. The best method I found for attaching the print to the laptop is using a soft and thin adhesive, in my case, I found gluestick to be suitable.
