Bio
Welcome to my collection of 3MF, STL, LAC and DXF designs for 3D printing and laser cutting.
As a STEM and Electrical Science teacher, I’m deeply passionate about hands-on learning, digital fabrication, and the creative power of the maker movement.
This page is a space to share my work with fellow makers, educators, and enthusiasts.
Whether you’re a hobbyist, a student, or a fellow teacher, I hope these resources inspire you to experiment, build, and bring new ideas to life.

Just finished this laser-cut Connect 4 🎯
No glue needed — everything press-fits together, but you can glue it if you want extra strength. I colored the chips with acrylic markers, but spray paint or different plywood colors would look awesome too.
Super fun build and even better to play 👌

New Gothic Cathedral Candle Holders v2
I designed these laser-cut medieval lanterns inspired by cathedral windows.
They come in 2 sizes:
• 308 mm – for a large candle or multiple small ones
• 154 mm – perfect for a tea light
The gothic patterns create beautiful light shadows.
You can also paint or stain the wood for different styles.
⚠️ For safety I recommend electric candles.
If you like it please like & download, it helps the project reach more makers!
