One of my favourite projects from my time at university was the industrial gearbox design from my third year. At last it was a chance to apply the mathematical knowledge acquired in earlier classes to a project that an actual mechanical engineer could be faced with on the job. The assignment specs included operating conditions, […]

As you may know from our recent blog updates we’ve been busy with home renovations. We’re up to a point where we’ve moved in to the house but still have quite a few jobs left to do before we can call that place done. One of the many small jobs left was to attach the

The first job that I did as Lannix design was back in 2019 for a friend who is a property developer on the Sunshine Coast. He was after an architectural model of his latest project. I was excited and enthusiastic to do it since I really enjoyed scale modelling in the past and it gave

This was an interesting job I did a few years ago that I thought I’d share. I met a guy who had just acquired an AW11 Toyota MR2 that already had a turbo conversion. He planned to use it for rally racing and wanted to upgrade the existing turbo to a larger unit. The problem

The idea to reuse empty filament spools as parts storage isn’t new. When I first started 3D printing I recall seeing that people had made curved containers that fit within a spool and thought that was a nifty idea. I’d always thought I’d make one for myself once I had a few empty spools laying

Before I started my engineering degree, 3D modelling and Computer Aided Design (CAD) seemed like a daunting skill to learn. Despite that, I was determined to get hold of some software and learn how to apply the mathematical knowledge I was acquiring in class. It was during the first semester that I joined up with

If you’ve read our previous blog entry on making parts for this car, you’ll know how I feel about the price of its replacement parts. Our customer isn’t a fan either so he’s commissioned us to create more parts for him. The air filters are past their use by date so the idea was to

Lannix Design is run from a residential home so space is limited at the current address. The workshop is under the house which is open to the elements and not suitable for having the office set up down there. While all the 3D printers operate inside enclosures, it makes things difficult having the design computer

After upgrading the front dashcam to a 4K unit, the old dashcam sat collecting dust. Since the bracket it had was designed for a sloping windscreen it wasn’t able to be used in the vertical rear window of the Lannix Design Holden Colorado. This became a great opportunity to come up with a custom bracket

Parts for the Audi R8 are not cheap. Seemingly innocuous parts like a plastic duct that sits inside an air diffuser can do quite some harm to the wallet if you pay the price that Audi are asking. I believe their motto for this car is ‘come up with a reasonable price then add a
