Creative Technologist: 3D design, practical engineering, and motion graphics
What I do
I model functional parts, design mechanisms with working tolerances, and build technically accurate 3D assets and animations for video. I'm not a credentialed engineer or industrial designer; the knowledge comes from thirty years of breaking, fixing, and building things (hobbyist and professionally). Everything on this site went from idea to design to print to video by one person.
Capabilities
- Mechanism design: springs, sliders, hinges, magnetic actions, press-fit inserts
- Fits and tolerances for FDM moving parts: press fits, slide fits, and living clearances dialed in by test print, typically ±0.1 to 0.2 mm on small features
- Design for additive manufacturing; TPU/PETG/PCTG-CF/GF, PC, PA, PPS-CF material selection
- Parametric design systems: made-to-measure variants without redesign
- Motion graphics and video editing; animated technical explainers
- Reverse-engineering from physical parts, photos, and measurements
Selected work
- stealthTAC CrushResist: trade and transport case system for collectible cards
- PWR GLASSMODEL: geometrically accurate reactor cutaway, animated for YouTube
- Parametric crate platform: hinged, stackable, made-to-measure organizers
