Builds and Projects

Here are a selections of enjoyable personal projects.

DRZ400 to KLX450 Headlight Conversion

Here are a couple conversions brackets for a DRZ400 to retrofit a KLX450 headlight assembly. Gone are the days of the outdated stock headlight. Now you can have a sleek, modern design that looks great and performs well. Pair with an LED bulb for added preformance and you're all set!

Solidworks Projects

Discover my journey learning Solidworks through hands-on projects. From basic part modeling to complex assemblies, these projects showcase my growing CAD skills. Learn how I've used Solidworks to design everything from simple brackets to mechanical assemblies, helping me develop crucial skills in 3D modeling, assembly design, and technical documentation.

Rapid Prototyping Projects

Discover some rapid prototyping projects where I combine 3D printing, CAD design, and iterative development to quickly bring concepts to reality. From initial sketches to functional prototypes, and applications.

Custom FPV Airframe build and design

This is a custom FPV build that primarly focuses on the prop protection of a whoop while having the flight characteristics of an open prop copter. It started out with chopping up and frankensteining existing components and after many failed attempts has led to designing a custom airframe using Soildworks. Uses 1-2s lipos, 1002 14000-21000kv motors, 50mm props and 20A X12 boards.This is a work in progress and will be updated as it evolves.

Robak Opensource Offroad RC Car Build and 3D Design contributions.

Check out this opensource project to build your own offroad RC car. I have contributed to the 3D design of the car by adding an FPV camera mount with VTX transmitter and adapted bumpers 3D printed out of TPU to soften impacts on the chassis.

3D Printing and Designs

Explore my journey in 3D printing and design. From custom parts to creative solutions, I use various 3D printing technologies and CAD software to bring ideas to life. Projects include functional prototypes, replacement parts, and artistic creations using materials like PLA, PETG, and TPU.

FPV Builds and air fleet

Come check out my fleet of FPV aircraft and builds.

Electric Bicycle Builds

Here are some electric bicycle builds that I have done for my own use and for friends. Was heavily involved before COVID (B.C. 19) in building and fabricating ebikes for the local community.

Automotive builds and projects

This space is dedicated to automotive builds and projects. I have a passion for cars and motorcycles and used to be a master tech. Building and modifying many makes and models, including but not limited to: Honda, Toyota, Suzuki, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and many more.
