It has been one of my greatest passions and hobbies to make creative, functional, and interesting things. I have always enjoyed making things with my hands, and learned different ways for crafts since I was a kid. As I got older I had a lot of fun learning wood working skills, and hope to one day have my own workshop for wood working projects when I have the space for it.
When I got my Bambu Lab X1-Carbon a few years ago, it opened up a whole new media and world of opportunity to explore and refine my skills as a designer and maker. Most of my favorite projects have been small items that serve a unique purpose in my life, replicate something from different media that I enjoy, or just give my hands something to fidget with as I am thinking.
This hinged storage box is designed to look like BMO from Adventure Time!
This is a model of the light stick from KPop Demon Hunters for fans of the SajaBoys group. The head of the light stick has a print in place hinge which allows it to be a clamshell box that can hold candy or little goodies. The handle has a latch which locks the lid in place when it is closed. This project also helped me practice design for assembly and printing larger batches as I wanted a set of them for party favors.
This fold up dice tower is meant to hold a full set of dice for D&D or other table top board games. For travel or storage it can be rolled up and locked in place, but when unrolled, the parts click together to make a tray and tower for rolling dice in.
This set of modular tools are made for scraping and carving clay for ceramic modeling. The tool with the handle has various tip shapes with each lock in place magnetically, and even an extendable attachment. The hand tools have different profiles for scraping or smoothing clay with an ergonomic grip.
A variety of smaller objects made for display or organization, this features:
A frame for displaying polaroid pictures with a print in place hinge
A stand to hold the case for a vinyl record that you have spinning on the turntable
A house with different mini furniture pieces to pose and display the Smiski collection
