About Me.
Hi! My name is Alex.
I combine 3D modeling, prototyping, and technical expertise in 3D printer operations and electronics to deliver complete solutions for custom parts, prototypes, and device repair. With experience in industrial and desktop 3D printing, mechanical assemblies, and reverse engineering, I help clients bring their ideas to life efficiently and reliably.
Projects
First Designs & Experiments
My first 3D designs — from fictional cars and airplanes to a custom eyewear frame — were more than just exercises; they were a playground for learning. I modeled, rendered, and 3D-printed each project on a printer I built myself, pushing both my creativity and technical skills forward.
DELTA 3D Printers
I actively participated in the development of delta 3D printers, contributing to assembly, testing, and fine-tuning mechanical components. I helped design and optimize parts for functionality and manufacturability, while also creating 3D renderings to visualize and present the designs. Throughout the projects, I assisted in problem-solving and finding practical solutions, supporting the workflow from initial concept to working prototype. This hands-on experience strengthened both my technical skills and my understanding of 3D printer development.
IDEX 3D Printer
In this project, I was fully involved in developing a fully functional IDEX 3D printer with a belt-driven surface from an initial conceptual design. The printer was fully modeled in 3D, with all mechanical systems designed, kinematics verified, and components carefully selected for optimal performance. Technical drawings were prepared and sent to manufacturing, and the printer was assembled and tested to validate the concept. The prototype successfully demonstrated its functionality, passed all tests, and was approved for the development of the next modification.
Vase 3D Printer
A large-format CORE XY 3D printer (400 × 400 × 800 mm) I designed for prototyping and experimental printing. It was used to produce oxygen reactor container prototypes for algae-based oxygen production, with potential applications for printing vases and adapting the printer for ceramic objects.
STENA FLAVIA
In this project, the Stena Line ship was fully modeled in 3D based on technical drawings and adapted for 3D printing on a standard desktop printer. The process included creating accurate geometric details and ensuring the model could be reliably printed.
SAIKNE K-FX
The K-FX project focused on developing an electroacoustic kalimba with integrated audio effects, looping, and amplification. I was involved in all stages of development, from early concept and prototyping to mechanical and electronic design, assembly, and testing. Together with the team, we went through multiple prototype iterations, experimented with various technologies, materials, and microcontrollers, and refined the instrument to a production-ready state. The result is a portable and expressive instrument that combines traditional kalimba sound with modern electronic functionality.
