Hi, I'm Nathan

Designer, printer, and hands-on finisher.

I work across the digital and physical parts of a project: modeling, print planning, test pieces, cleanup, paint, and assembly. Some jobs need original CAD work, some need careful modification, and some are mostly about execution and finish. The goal is always a piece that looks considered when it leaves the workshop.
