Notes

These are smaller prints that don't have a page of their own. They show the range of what I print besides bike parts: two piston and connecting-rod sets, moving mechanisms like a scissor linkage and a planetary gearset, a clearance test and a printed bolt and nuts, a grip with a bearing in it, three versions of a bracket, and a tray on an Ultimaker 3.

There's also a 3D scan of a shoe in Revo Scan, and a printed plaque with the De Anza College logo that reads Additive Manufacturing, with my name and the date 5/8/25.
