Percnet

Interactive design work, 2022

Interactive electromagnetic percussion instrument using solenoids and 3D printed beater mechanisms to strike resonant objects.

Uses Particle Argon microcontroller to connect to a web interface that allows multiple users to control the sequencer over the internet (see video).

Solenoids can also be operated as a standalone instrument, with the control unit capable of accepting Eurorack compatible triggers to actuate the beaters.

Nanoloop FM diffuser

3D print design, 2021

3D printed frame designed to assist with visibility and structural integrity for Oliver Wittchow’s Nanoloop FM device.

The original device uses small surface mount LEDs as a display, which is difficult to interpret by many users. My 3D printed modification is a frame which sits between the PCB layer and the upper acrylic layer—a dual colour print to isolate each LED (using a grid of a darker filament) and diffuse the light (using white or translucent filament) into a larger square/rectangular shape.

Pin screen fidget toy

3D print design, 2025

Fidget toy inspired by “pin art” sculptures. Created in OpenSCAD as a parameterised design, with parameters for:

• Horizontal and vertical size, distributing pins accordingly
• Pin length and diameter
• Pin head diameter

Designed to print in place with no support material required.

Elektron quick release stands

3D print design, 2020

Multi-tier stand design for Elektron synthesiser models.

Taking advantage of the existing mounting holes (designed for rackmounting), this design uses lugs mounted to the sides of the machine to enable the stand to be attached and removed without additional tools. The stand is also modular, allowing a second tier to be added above the original stand.
