This project involved 3D printing a prototype of the front rail of the Jeep Cherokee, and designing a custom stand. The parts are dismantlable, meaning each "weld" in the real life version are actually magnets. The stand is also 3D printed using typical PLA plastic. I learned alot about 3D printing unideal geometries, including printing orientation, printing size, and printing material. In addition, each color represents a different material in the real sized version. 

white = steel, red = hardened steel, black = aluminum, green = fasteners

In the plotter robot, most of the components were 3D printed using black PLA filament. Through this project, I was able to learn how to functionally integrate 3D components in mechanical design, and understand how 3D printed parts differ from other materials that are machined. 

This is a 3D printed weld cap holder that I designed. It was a functional solution to the weld cap problem, where weld caps would fall on the ground (a safety hazard, everything needed to be thrown out, and very disorganized). TPU filament combined with a fit tolerance created a cost-effective solution that helped organize and distinguish certain weld caps without taking too much volume.
