My name is Jacob Rose, and I consider myself a creator and designer for personalized and practical solutions. I made this website to show some of my projects, including many that use 3D printing and 3D design. I bought my first 3D printer in 8th grade, and since then I have created customized products to sell, used 3D printing in science competitions, and used 3D printing in my independent research. I love everything about the design process, and have been able to use these skills at UNC in two clubs in which I hold executive leadership positions. I have highlighted some of my favorite projects below.
Assayed a composite temperature-sensitive, variable density, biodegradable, and bioactive 3d printer filament for use in patient- specific bone reconstructive implants. Showed successful control of physical properties with adjustment of printing temperature.

For my Eagle Project, I combined my passion for 3D printing with my passion for helping those with special needs. I led a team of middle school students in the design of 3D printable sensory fidgets and the creation of a sensory room at my local middle school. I posted the designs and instructions for these fidgets online for any school to download and print, encouraging more students to become involved with 3D printing.

As I outgrew the restraints of my original 3D printer I bought in 8th grade, I decided to upgrade rather than buy new machines, as dual material 3D printers had not been developed that were cheap enough for me to use and worked reliably. I completely overhauled the mechanics, wiring, and firmware of the machine.
