The idea of taking an idea for a physical object, modeling it on a computer, and printing it out on demand will seem obvious and ubiquitous someday. But for now, it still feels absolutely like magic. I use Autodesk Fusion 360 for design and have a Prusa Mini+ that I assembled from a kit. Few tools have exploded my mind with possibility quite like this one has. I love making functional parts that extend the life of other items or dreaming up new ones. I also love helping friends to bring their ideas into reality.

From time to time I make something worth sharing. When that happens, I post the 3D files at printables.com.

My most recent project is a parabolic dish microphone that I’m planning to use to record the sounds of creatures in nature.
