Completed Projects
2025 - Jayce Hammer Arcane
Started in May 2025.
Designed from scratch using a 2D template purcesed from Etsy. This project was a collaboration between myself and Polymaker. The final build was showcased at 3D Printopia! The hammer is about 7 feet tall and weighs 25-30lbs. Outfitted with LEDs in the rod and main hammer. To animate the opening of the hammer, there are 16 servos which are activated via handle on the rod. It was a big hit!
Printers: BambuLab X1C + BambuLab P1S
Filament: Polymaker Panchroma Silk Gold, Silk White, Matte Black, Matte Army Red
2024 - SlimeVR OBSBOT Tracker
An adaptaion of the full body trackers intended to be used by the OBSBOT tracking camera.
2024 - SlimeVR Body Trackers V3
The last iteration of my VR body trackers. With the effects of the device shortage after COVID, I was finally able to rebuild the tracker using BNO85 IMUs by Adafruit. These IMUs are more accurate than the previous versions (MPU6050).
2024 - 5ft Tall Doodlebob Pencil
Inspired by EmilytheEngineer on Instagram. I just wanted to design and build my own Doodlebob pencil since I always loved Spongebob. Made its public debut at PAX East this year.
2023 - My First Antweight Battlebot Hurri-Pain!
Impulse build. I watched Battle Bots a ton as a kid and decided it was time to build my own. I had no prior experience with building a bot but it was fun to learn how to do. Everything was printed with PLA... Next time we use TPU :)
2023 - SlimeVR Tracker V2
A thinner version of V1. Uses the same components without the custom PCB to reduce package size. These trackers allow for detected movement of your body in the VR space. Commonly used for games like VRChat.
2023 - Electromagnetic Mjolnir
After seeing similar hammers online, I sought out to build my own! Hammer model was bought from Do3d.com. I did not have access to a spare microwave electromagnet so I purchased a 120mm diameter electromagnet that easily replaced the top cap of the hammer. There is a reed switch near the base of the handle that breaks the circuit when there is a nearby magnetic force which was a ring that I wore. Those without the ring could not lift the hammer.
Makes for a fun party trick! :)
2022 - SlimeVR Tracker V1
Custom designed Slive VR trackers. Uses MPU6050 IMU, Wemos D1 Mini ESP-32, and TP4056 charging board.
PCB was designed in KiCad for mounting all components.
2019 - Ghostbusters Cosplay and Protonpack
My very first 3D printed project. Printed on my very first printer Tronxy P802M. Arduino controlled lighting animations with speaker installed for sound affects. The audio plays when a switch is flipped and the blaster makes the appropriate sounds when the buttons are pressed.
2016 - Daft Punk Thomas Helmet
Built in grad school as an upgrade to the original in 2014. The helmet is a mold purchased from Volphin Props. Ears were fitted with two Neopixel rings from Adafruit. The main visor contain 256 diffused red LEDs and color LEDs on the sides. Programmed with Arduino to run 10 animations and allow for custom messaging via Bluetooth using an Android phone.
2015 - Daft Punk Guy-Manuel Helmet
Built to complement the Thomas helmet built the year before.

2015 - 8-bit Microprocessor for Grad School
Was packing and found the 8-bit microprocessor I built years ago It’s way over due for a redesign at some point! Manually entered a set of instructions that were followed and as the program ran, the LEDS would light up based on the instruction code and data being sent.
2014 - Daft Punk Thomas Helmet
This helmet was built entirely from scratch starting from paper templates and protoboard for the actual circuitry. I was a broke college student lol

This project in particular holds a special place in my heart and made me realize how much I love learning about electronic design.
2014 - Predator
Something in college I did with an old CD drive to make retractable blades and EVA foam. Recycled an old CD drive to make retractable blades.
2013 - Foam Iron Man Build
Iron Man suit! it was my first year ever building anything after watching videos on Youtube for hours on end. I had gotten my internship that summer so I had a bit of cash to get started. 95% of it it was built out of foam except the helmet.
I also knew I wanted to make the helmet open and close just like in the movies so of course I had to figure that out. I used Arduino to write some short code and rigged it to a switch that controlled the motion.
It was bulky and difficult to walk around in but I enjoyed every second of building it. This opened the door to my pursuit of just building things for the hell of it.
