Almost all of these projects were designed and modeled by me using SolidWorks. G-code was generated in Cura, based on profiles for my printer that I configured and tuned
Shown on the left is one of the first large prints I produced. I designed a surrounding body for the operating console of my 3D printer in order to store some tools, as well as mount various electronic add-ons. The body is designed with slots which allow me to constantly add various components, such as a light-control switch, Raspberry Pi server, and small tool holder.

The temperature and humidity sensor shown on the left was designed and printed by me. The sensor is operated by an arduino nano, and displays the ambient temperature and humidity inside the enclosure. This makes it easier for me to make sure the temperature doesn't get too hot (I had issues with PLA becoming soft before it entered the extruder), and also made it much easier to print using ABS, since it required constant high temperatures. The device is powered by a USB cable, which plugs directly into a surge protector. I spliced the USB cable to an on-off switch so that I could turn it off when I wasn't around, as to not waste electricity.
The camera gimbal shown on the right was also a custom design by myself. The camera is operated through my Raspberry Pi server, and can be controlled using external buttons, or an online plugin. The camera is capable of rotating on two axes, as well as moving up and down for taller prints. This is helpful for when I need to monitor prints from home.
This is a small fume extractor I made for soldering. It uses carbon filters and two fans to suck any fumes created during the soldering process, and diverts them away from my face.
The woodwork project shown on the left is one of the first project I worked on during quarantine. Our house has a weird carpeted section that used to be used for decorations. On numerous occasions, we've found some of our cats hanging out there. Considering it's almost a 7 foot jump from the edge, I figured I might as well build a small bridge for them to run across. I made a rough design in SolidWorks before constructing the final product from extra wood I had lying around the shop. It takes some encouragement to get them to use the bridge, but they've already started running across it by themselves!
