Welcome to the world of my hobbies! Within these pages, I’ve curated a selection of activities that bring joy and passion to my life. Explore the diverse array of interests that hold a special place in my heart, accompanied by a few choice photos to give some context and showcase examples.
LARPing
LARP, an abbreviation for Live Action Role Play, is essentially an imaginative journey where participants don costumes and immerse themselves in character within a fictional world. Over the past decade, I’ve had the pleasure of participating in a diverse array of LARPs. These experiences have taken me from high-fantasy LARPs such as Profound Decisions Empire to 1800’s based LARPs such as Eyelarp’s Forlorn Hope to Sci-fi LARP Greencloaks. You can see some of the costumes and some action shots below.
Fencing
Over the last two years, I’ve participated in fencing by actively engaging with a local fencing club. Beginning as a novice, I’ve steadily improved my skills and even participated in a fencing competition. My focus predominantly revolves around Foil, and I’ve recently taken up the Epee as well.
3D Printing
In 2016, I took the leap into the world of 3D printing with the acquisition of my first printer, a Flashforge Finder. Since then, I’ve been on an exciting journey of creative exploration. The thrill of designing and bringing my personal projects to life through 3D printing has been an incredible experience. As my passion for this craft deepened, I upgraded to a Prusa Mini+ printer, which has opened up even more possibilities for my creations. Take a look at a selection of the projects I’ve crafted below.
Circuit Design
When designing my own 3D printed models, I came across the need to develop my own electronic circuits. The most complicated of which is my Nerf Blaster ammo counter, which consisted of 1.5 years of intermittent development and fine-tuning. I don’t have any professional experience with designing circuit boards so all of these has been entirely self-taught!
