Sometimes even a creator needs help!

As some of you know, I use a speed square to make my cuts. And as some of you know, I use the metric system for all my dimensioning. Neither my local Lowes or Home Depot had a metric-based speed square (only imperial units).

So I fab'd one. Now I'll be able to dimension without having to constantly convert from imperial to metric.

My client wanted a 3D fabricated collectible made from a picture he took of his son's visit to College GameDay last week. It was his 20th birthday. I blocked his son's name to maintain his privacy.

The card is 68 x 95 x 1.7mm. It is made using the following filament composition:
17% black; 4% orange; 4% silver; 8% cobalt blue; 67% white.

The holder is made of black and satin silk gold.

I'll be hand-delivering this collectible to him next week.

Client-commissioned Wayne Gretzky Tiki Mug

This is a Wayne Gretzky-inspired Tiki Mug. The entire item is designed in CAD and 3D printed. The mug is designed with a 3mm shell to support the tiki images on its periphery. On one side of the mug is a Tiki-stylized image of Wayne Gretzky during his time with the LA Kings. On the other side is a Tiki-stylized image of the LA Kings logo at the time Gretzky played (vintage logo).

The mug is made from jet-black filament, while the tiki images are from copper filament. The base and top of the mugs are capped with a copper disc, and I inserted a stylized straw at the top (removable).

Just in time for the 2025 World Series, I designed and fabricated the Magic Cube for sports fans who want to mentally challenge themselves. This is a 3x3x3 fully articulating cube with all MLB teams represented by division.

Each of the 6 colors represent a particular division within the Majors. I added texture to the faces of each cube to make it easier to rotate a layer. I kept the center cube of each face white to make it easier to solve the Magic Cube.

The Cube can be designed for any pro league, which makes it a cool gift or display piece.

Designed in CAD and 3D printed in my home workshop.

Rivals & Legends Trifold Booklet: Aaron Judge x Shohei Ohtani

This unique collectible showcases five custom-designed cards, including two oversized jumbo cards. The exterior features a stylized cartoon illustration of Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani, setting the stage for the rivalry within.

Inside, each player is highlighted on a standard-sized card inspired by the classic T206 design, complete with replica signatures at the top. At the heart of the trifold is a center card displaying three profile views of both Judge and Ohtani, united by a silk-gold MLB logo. On the reverse side of this center panel, you'll find two additional poses—one of each player.

The entire piece is crafted using CAD design and 3D printing technology, incorporating up to eight distinct filaments to bring out the details and textures. A pair of 5-knuckle hinges enables booklet functionality.
