Main Project Final Report Part 2: Heat colored butterfly knife
Effectively using butterfly knives takes a lot of skill, coordination, and patience.

Main Project Report part 2
Expectations vs Reality: I had planned to have a more detailed design on the outside of the casing. Due to the layering of the PLA, it was difficult to sketch out the flames that would be painted into the sides. It also kept me from placing the Harley Davidson logo on the center of the…

Smart Mirror Final Report Part 2
Why I chose to create a smart mirror because I believed it was something I could use.

Main Project Final Report Part 1: K. Gresh
Main Project Final Report: Part 1 I had a design change for the main project. My original design was for a remote controlled automated horse jump.
