The physical side of things. 3D printers, a laser cutter in progress, and whatever hardware project is currently taking up bench space.
Not professional work — just the kind of tinkering that tends to happen when you spend enough time thinking about systems and automation and eventually want to build something you can hold.
3D Printing
Rack accessories, cases, resin prints, and procedural geometry. Printables finds alongside Blender-scripted parts.
Laser Cutter
Building a laser cutter from scratch — enclosure, motion system, and a touchscreen HUD as the control interface.
