A custom IDEX 3D printer built from a refurbished Lulzbot TAZ Pro with an auto-pushoff system that ejects finished prints, enabling continuous unattended production. Built with a team of six at USC Makers, running Klipper firmware with Slack bot integration for remote job management.

Custom 3D printed decorations for a graduation sash as a cost-effective alternative to expensive embroidery. Raised gold text with real dimensional depth, secured with a backplate sandwich technique to keep fabric from deforming.

Advanced 8-legged spider robot built with BeagleBone Blue and daisy-chained smart servos. Features Linux-based control system, wireless iOS app integration, and sophisticated walking algorithms with inverse kinematics.

Arduino-based 8-legged spider robot with custom radio controller. Features smooth servo motion algorithms, wireless control capabilities, touch-detecting legs, and bionic spider-like movement patterns.

Standalone Arduino-controlled heat bed system for upgrading obsolete 3D printers. Features temperature control, safety monitoring, and modular design for retrofitting older printer models without built-in heated beds.
