3D Models
Welcome to my collection of 3D models. Many of these are designed with accessibility in mind, providing tactile representations of astronomical data and instruments. You can find more of my work on Thingiverse.
South African Large Telescope
A scale 3D printable model of the South African Large Telescope.
1.28 GHz MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic tactile mode
The data is based on the MeerKAT Galactic Center Mosaic, as presented in Heywood et al. (2022). The intricate filaments and bright radio sources of our galaxy’s core are rendered here as physical features that can be explored by touch.
Multi-Wavelength Hercules-A
Tactile relief models of Hercules-A from Hubble, Chandra, and VLA data.
Solar System Modeling Ruler
A 3D printable ruler for creating a scale model of the solar system using clay.
