Hey I'm Nate and I specialize in CAD modeling and 3D printing for business and personal projects. I work as a Quality Technician programming high end quality measuring machines and making fixtures via 3D printing for said machines. If you are a company or an individual that wants CAD or 3d printing services give me a call or an email!
CAD Programs that I'm familiar with:
SolidWorks 2023
AutoDesk Fusion 360

This was a contracted solution which solved a problem for molding a high density data cable assembly. By testing continuity of the cable header to a mating part before final assembly the battery testers were able to aid in catching scrap at the source and reduce RMAs.
This is a simple holder / container / "Stacker" which helps operators and inspectors with verifying count, while also keeping expensive parts from damage.
To insert contacts into these miniature parts the old process was double stick tape to a metal block.
Now a vice mounted fixture wraps securely around and holds the parts in place.
When supply of the correct length and gauge nail could only be bought in bulk, yet the customer wanted 20 per bag in the final product, there had to be a sorting system to help. The workers that had to count nails by hand were grateful for an alternative!
I have been working on handmade and 3D printed guitar FX/Pedals. Sourcing high quality components into personally tweaked versions of hard to find guitar FX combined with the cost savings of the enclosure makes this a compelling option for guitar players.
The main technical challenges were and are:
EMI + shielding considerations
Solution: internal EMI shielding paint
Strength for a device that is meant to be stepped on
Solutions:
Thicker walls
Internal chamfers

Solving rubik's cubes competitively requires upkeep of cubes, and this caddy is the best way that I could keep everything together.
