Below, you'll find an overview of the machines/equipment I use for manufacturing and testing.
Velleman K8200+
This started life as a standard Velleman K8200 but has received a number of design changes over the years.
Most notably upgrading to a larger bed size and redesign of the gantry.
The original hotend has also been replaced with an E3D V6.
This printer is reserved for printing larger, low resolution parts as it has the largest build volume and is fitted with a 0.8mm nozzle.
- Technology: FDM
- Build Volume: 300x200x250mm
- Hot End: E3D V6 Lite
- Controls: Original K8200 control board reflashed with MARLIN 2.0 Firmware
3DP MK1
My first self-designed and built 3D printer. Construction is an aluminium extrusion frame with laser cut exterior paneling.

- Technology: FDM
- Build Volume: 200x200x200mm
- Hot End: E3D V6
- Controls: OVM Lite with MARLIN 2.0 Firmware
3-in-1 CNC
This machine is the result of my dissertation project: Design of a multi-function 3-Axis Machine with modular tool heads for 3D Printing, PCB Milling, and Laser Engraving.

- Memory (RAM): 16GB DDR4 2400MHz(2 x 8GB)
- Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX1050Ti
- Storage: 256GB SSD, 1TB HDD
Test Equipment
I use a range of test equipment to help with testing and troublshooting my electronics projects:
- Multimeter
- Oscilloscope
- Bench PSU
- Digital Microscope
