3D Printing Solutions

For mechanical products, I have taken courses in AutoCAD, SCRC-Ideas Best Practices, and Practical applications of Unigraphix and currently use AutoCAD Fusion 360 and QCAD.  For Electronics design, I use PCAD-2006 and Altium Designer 2010.

I can create and provide 3D models for mechanical items and electro-mechanical items, or provide feedback on your designs to make them more printable

Here is one non-functional proof-of-concept for a remote controlled switch that was designed in both AutoCAD Fusion 360 and Altium PCAD, prototyped using the 3D printer and a Protomat Circuit board router used to communicate all of the critical design elements to the mechanical engineers.  This was later turned into a substantially different looking final design with all of the critical design elements accounted for.

Below is a permanent mount for an old cell phone being used as a fixed location workshop media player, web browser and messaging center and designed to hold the power cord in permanently and supporting the headphone jack to prevent damage.  The print is in "Clear Black" ABS was too tall for the printer but sufficient for the workshop needs.

If you are having problems with moisture in your filament, or need almost any electronic or plastic product dried out, I created a small dry cabinet that I run 105F or 135F and can go higher if necessary.  This is slightly slower but safer than using an oven to try and dry materials and products.  Product can be vacuum sealed with dessicant before and/or after time in the drying chamber.  If you wish to have your own cabinet or other type drying chamber, I would be happy to construct one for you.
