Featured Designs From Various Personal Projects

3D Printed Airplane Project

The 3D Printed Airplane project was a design challenge, where I wanted to model a full airplane that could late be 3D printed.
The design requirements were as follows:
1. All parts of the airplane must be 3D printable
2. The wings must have a true Airfoil shape
All the design requirements were met as seen in the pictures.
The airplane is divided into 3 parts when printing: The main hull, Left and Right wings, and attachments.
The wings and the hull have slots and tabs in order to attach them to one another after printing.
The wings use a NACA 4412 Profile and have 2 slots for attachments

All parts are friction fitted together to form a solid airplane.

Gear Generator Project

The Gear Generator Project was an attempt at creating fully parametric parts, in this case, various gears that can later be used for other projects
The design requirements were as follows:
1. All the design features are parametrically controlled via equations and variables
2. The gears can be 3D printed
3. The gears can work together and have a good interface
In order to achieve the design requirements, I studied the machinist handbook as well as a number of publications in order to get a better grasp of what were the important factors in a gear as well as the correct geometry.
After a lot of hard work, the gears were modeled correctly and were able to produce many gear sizes and shapes.
Overall I created generators for 5 types of gears: Spur, Helical, Bevel, Helical Bevel, and Harrington.
Once the project was completed I designed a parametric fidget spinner in order to demonstrate the gears and their function.

Kindle Foldable Stand

The Kindle Stand Project was an attempt at creating a slim foldable stand to go as a travel companion for the Amazon Paperwhite Kindle.
The design requirements were as follows:
1. The stand must be as slim as possible and fold flat against the device
2. The stand has to have 3 different viewing angles and be stable with the device in place for all angles
3. All parts need to be 3D Printable
In order to achieve the design requirements, I divided the design into 4 parts and printed them separately.

Phone Charging Stand

The Phone Charging Stand was a project I started since I use my phone as an alarm clock and I wanted a sturdy stand to place it during the night.

The design requirements were as follows:

1. The stand must have an internal groove for the charging cable as well as a way to hold the end at an adjustable height
2. The stand has to hold the phone in an upright position
3. All parts need to be 3D Printable
In order to achieve the design requirements, I divided the stand into 2 parts that slot together, once the charging cable was fed through the tunnel I could slide the two halves to form a solid stand and use bolts to fasten everything in place.
