Objective: To design and build a working prototype for a machine to heat and compact discarded plastic bottles into cubed units that can be used for making into pixel based art, at mural size scale. The machine will be available to neighborhoods, community art centers, makerspaces at the local level in order to reuse plastic waste, and provide a tool for collaborative art making. The original small production prototype press methodology has been created by Studio Cassio in Rome, Italy.

They have asked me to engineer a larger - scale production machine that can be deployed easily at the street level.
Objective: To Create a carbon fiber mudguard for a brompton folding bike with photosensor to automoatically turn on rear led light when darkness is sensed. PLA 3d model creates the mold. Photoresitor will be used to control brightness level of rear LED array.
