Gear Shifter Knob And 3D Printed Threads

Gear Shifter Knob And 3D Printed Threads

I designed and 3D printed a gear shifter for my car. An engineer experienced with direct metal laser sintering wanted to to make his own out of titanium. In exchange for the model, he made me one as well. Read about how I barely managed to tap threads into it and see how you can do it yourself in a stainless steel version.

Tying Knots With Wood

Tying Knots With Wood

Using my knot software, I've created all kinds of knots. I've tied them myself, 3D printed them, and CNCed their patterns into knot mandrels. In this post, I show you how I used wooden dowels and 3D printed connectors to assemble a knot that forms a globe and has no beginning or end.

Bounce Coding - Back story

Bounce Coding - Back story

A coding tutorial inspired by my own experiences with programming. When I was young, I was inspired to program when I saw how I could use math to control visual elements on the screen. Read about a project of mine that has played an important role throughout my programming education. Interact with live coding widgets to gain real programming experience.
