3D PRINTS


Presented here are some highlights of my work in 3D modeling and 3D printing.  I currently have a MakerBot 2X and Thing-O-Matic at home which can print in ABS or PLA plastic. For final prints I typically use a 3D Systems ProJet 7000 or Stratasys Objet Connex500.

Most of my models have been built in Cinema 4D and post-processed with netfabb.

Also see my 3D printing articles on Tested.com.


The Millenbaugh Motivator

My latest print - this is a functional piece I designed, printed and assembled for a Hellboy prop replica built by Adam Savage of MythBusters.  Follow the link for the whole story.

Octopod Underwater Salvage Vehicle

My thesis project, which I designed, printed and built.  Make sure to look at past posts which go into great detail about the modeling and printing process.





The Octopod won an Editor's Choice Award at Maker Faire New York 2012 and is featured on the MAKE site and in their "Ultimate Guide to 3D Printing" issue.

It has also been featured on the Objet site and with great pride on Tested, an awesome site which features my hero, Adam Savage from Mythbusters. (Seriously, check out the videos of Adam's workshop).


Mercury Capsule

Done for the short film "T-Minus", shot on film with all practical effects. I built and printed a replica of the Mercury space capsule and various parts for the Atlas rocket.
The Scuttlefish
(aka Gowanus Monster)

I designed and modeled this for an animated film by Bold Machines. It's definitely in the same fleet as the Octopod.
Read about it here.

Buckaroo Banzai Jet Car

My other on-going project is the Jet Car from one of my favorite films, The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension.  It was my first 3D print and I did a full write-up of how it was done for Tested.com.

The Jet Car was on display in Vienna, Austria for Vienna Design Week 2012.
