Build Notes
Specific technical problems, print tests, and hardware bring-ups as they happen.
Designing a Stackable Workshop Drawer System
3D Printing & CAD Prototyping
Developing a modular drawer system around printable size, stacking, storage density, and eventually real printed tolerances.
Designing a TPU Wrist Key Strap
3D Printing & CAD Prototyping
Taking what I learned from the bracelet designs and applying it to a flexible wrist strap built around a different use.
Designing a Modular Filament Spool Holder
3D Printing & CAD Prototyping
Designing a functional filament holder that was larger than my printer could manufacture as one piece.
Designing a Parametric TPU Bracelet System
3D Printing & CAD Prototyping
How a simple flexible bracelet turned into an ongoing CAD exercise involving parameters, sizing, curved geometry, surface patterns, TPU, and batch printing.
Designing a Modular Wildlife Platform
Wildlife Detection Platform
As the project evolved beyond a single wildlife camera, it became clear that combining sensing, observation, processing, and long-term data management into one device created unnecessary compromises. This article introduces the modular architecture behind the platform and explains the roles of Scout, Ranger, and AI Hub within the larger ecosystem.
Why I Started Building My Own Wildlife Cameras
Wildlife Detection Platform
Why I wanted to build my own wildlife camera system and what I wanted to do differently.
