For one of my SolidWorks classes I had to reproduce something from around my room. I decided to make my Ryobi circular saw, as can be see on the left.
In one of my manufacturing and design classes I had to model a real world item, and determine the manufacturing method for each individual component. Both images are modeled subassemblies of a videogame car racing shifter.
For my Senior Capstone project with Los Alamos National Labs my team was tasked to build an unpickable lock (see more in educational projects). Since I was in charge of the laser subsystem I got to fully design the laser remote shown here. I modeled it after a Roku to make the remote comfortable to hold with the buttons positioned where the thumb naturally lands; the chin at the front of the design is to allow the metal tip to be inserted into a hole and for the remote to hold its own weight. The body is made using a nylon SLS 3D print, and the tip is milled aluminum.
In the above laser subassembly I also had to design an internal PCB to regulate voltage to the laser, and make sure the pulse timings of the morse code dots and dashes stay consistent. To do this I tested with a breadboard circuits before designing the PCB in EAGLE. I ordered the PCB with PCBWay and soldered it by hand. Here is the schematic, layout, an image of the soldered (test) PCB, and a video of the full remote working.
