https://www.heyharvs.com/ create something amazing. en-us Thu, 23 Apr 2026 19:29:54 +0000 https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/bathtub-handle/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/bathtub-handle/ Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 This is a replacement knob/handle for a standard bathtub I made. Why? Because it was too hard for Emma to adjust the temperature by herself so I designed this replacement piece with a little more leverage so she can make minor adjustments to the water temp. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/epoxy-resin/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/epoxy-resin/ Mon, 01 Jan 2024 00:00:00 +0000 A deep dive into epoxy resin — types, uses, and how I use it in builds. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/headphone-hanger/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/headphone-hanger/ Sun, 01 Jan 2023 00:00:00 +0000 The headphone collection is starting to get out of hand. I've seen many nice stands out there, but it's more practical for me to create a hanger that hooks on to a railing. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/voltron/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/voltron/ Thu, 01 Jul 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Remix of the Spaceman into one of my favorite childhood toys. This design was very tedious, but pretty easy because the shapes were pretty geometric and not as organic as the designs. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/daft-punk/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/daft-punk/ Tue, 01 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Remix of the Spaceman of the infamous DJ duo! The helmets were a bit tricky to make because they had somewhat organic shapes. It was a real learning curve to start to work with surfaces in Fusion360 in order to achieve the correct geometries that looked good. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/spaceman/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/spaceman/ Tue, 01 Jun 2021 00:00:00 +0000 This is just an exercise to sharpen my skills in Fusion. The goal was to practice re-creating specific bodies and joints. Learned a lot from doing this. There were a lot of dimensions that I simply assumed were parallel, when in fact there were subtle things that were off. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/bbq-table/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/bbq-table/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 I love my kamado! I've been wanting to design a custom bbq table for it because the old table didn't have enough counter space for me. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/cnc-dust-shoe/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/cnc-dust-shoe/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 I've been building my own CNC machine this year, and slowly designing parts to go with it. I needed a dust shoe to collect all the wood and MDF shavings. Didn't want to pay $150+ and it seemed like a fun project to design to get acquainted with airflow. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/emergency-spam/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/emergency-spam/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 Guys. We're in the middle of a global pandemic here (Covid19). There is a shortage on toilet paper, PPE and other things. Since I always like to be prepared, I made this emergency SPAM box. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/shower-hook/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/shower-hook/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 I bought some cheap adhesive hooks for the shower but the were poorly designed, flexed, and did not hold up enough weight. Amazon sells a 20 pack of suction cups which I got for a variety of projects so I created these durable hooks to go with them. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/sponge-holder/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/sponge-holder/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 This year my goal is to focus on designing more complex assemblies that rely on gears, joints, or parts that leverage the flexibility of the material itself to its advantage as in compliant mechanisms. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compliantmechanism https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/universal-spool-holder/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/universal-spool-holder/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 There are many spool holders out there. The problem is there are many spool sizes that makes it hard to build a universal one that works well. I decided to make a spool holder that mounts horizontally and uses the weight of the spool itself to keep the spool in place. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/uv-curing-station/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/uv-curing-station/ Fri, 01 Jan 2021 00:00:00 +0000 I created a little UV curation station/enclosure using a 405nm LED strip, MDF, and some clear PETG for some style! https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/paint-racks/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/paint-racks/ Wed, 01 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Emma's paint collection is getting pretty big. It was impractical to find colors in her basket, so I decided to create some parametric wall-mount removable paint racks to hold her Apple Barrel paint collection. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/street-light/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/street-light/ Wed, 01 Jul 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Not sure why, but I wanted to create my own street light. It features LEDs, an ESP8266 microcontroller with WiFi and notifications, resin-cast lenses from silicon molds, 3D printed parts, as well as some store bought piping. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/emmas-bed/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/emmas-bed/ Mon, 01 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 What kid doesn't love building a fort? I always like building little secret play areas and decided to convert a closet into a loft bed for Emma with all the works! https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/rocket-cone/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/rocket-cone/ Mon, 01 Jun 2020 00:00:00 +0000 I'm always on my computer. I was eating a cone and couldn't put it down. Ever since the historic launch of astronauts back into space on American soil by SpaceX/NASA, rockets have been on my mind. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/60-watt-co2-laser-cutter/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/60-watt-co2-laser-cutter/ Wed, 01 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 To put it in simple terms, this is a machine that uses mirrors to direct a laser (from a long glass laser tube) down into material. Adjusting the power will scar the surface (engrave) or cut right through the material. The material can be pretty much anything except PVC (dangerous fumes) or metal (60 watts not powerful enough). You can engrave Macbooks, cut hotdogs, or engrave logos on top of your cappuccino. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/claw-machine/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/claw-machine/ Wed, 01 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 Emma has tons of little stuff animals and small toys. I need a place to store them and came up with the idea of creating a claw machine so I can dump them in there, but also have a fun way to "win" them back and also serve as a piggy bank. https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/creality-cr-10-3d-printer/ https://www.heyharvs.com/projects/creality-cr-10-3d-printer/ Wed, 01 Apr 2020 00:00:00 +0000 My first 3D printer was the gateway machine into the world of design and fabrication. Many years ago, thought 3D printing was way out of my reach. Now, printers are pretty common and the technology is stable yet still growing rapidly.
