Another fun 3D print project for my new Canyon Grail. Having a 3rd bottle mount for longer rides is pretty helpful. Design in Fusion 360.

Bike Graphics Project
Pretty happy with the way some of these came out. Added a unique spin on my bikes and helmets to match.
They are vinyl stickers cut on a Silhouette.
2024 Race Car Design
Another year f race car design for a friend. Thanks to their inspiration and ideas, the printer, I think the 4 quarter midgets can out great!
Pookie
Charlotte is taking art this semester in High School and doing some vanishing point exercises. Made me think.
Vanishing Point
Testing my vanishing point skills from high school drawing class.
Aero Bottle Holder
Another 3D printed bottle holder for my Canyon Speedmax. This is a raised bottle holder for between your arms and mounts a traditional water bottle cage.
The typical distance between for the mount holes on cages are 64mm. 2 100mm M5 bolts keep the mount attached to a custom made carbon fiber base plate.
SRAM Rival Crank Aero Cover
After reading about some aero gains from Crank covers, I decided to try and 3D print one to fit on my SRAM Rival crankset on my TT bike. The curves and irregular shape/profile of the crank made it difficult to model, so I printed a flat surface, and used heat to mold it to match the profile. It is held on via zip ties.
The design was done using Fusion 360 and a front and and side profile reference image. I printed this on a Prusa MKII.
This was one of my first prototypes. Due to the low melting point of PLA, a heat gun pretty quickly warms it sufficiently to get it to mold into the correct shape.
This was the final version.

Widgets & iOS 17 Sonoma
I am a huge fan of this underrated and probably under utilized feature of macOS Sonoma. Having the opportunity to glance at my widgets while I am on my Mac is really nice interaction pattern.
How much does an app cost?
Being an app developer, friends, family and co-workers often ask the question, how much does an app cost? This is a nice breakdown from Couchbase on the elements, stages and how long each stage of the development lifecycle takes, which helps with cost estimates.
