Some of my projects

A Duplo windmill that answers to Alexa

My son wanted a windmill that turned when he asked it to, via Alexa. A micro servo fits inside a Duplo brick. The rest of the windmill is ordinary bricks.

2019–2020 · Duplo, micro servo, Alexa

A red Duplo brick with one face cut away and a micro servo seated inside it, held above a part-built Duplo tower.

An Arduino you can hold in both arms

An Arduino Uno is about the size of a credit card. Here’s a huge one! Took some days to 3d print.

2026 · 3D printed

Andy standing in a fabrication lab holding a 3D-printed Arduino Uno R3 roughly the width of his shoulders, with the headers, silkscreen labels and microcontroller all reproduced.

A brain that lights up

Full size print done with transparent PLA. The model’s from a brain scan I had a few years ago.

Christmas 2021 · white PLA, LEDs

A 3D-printed brain lit from inside, glowing blue, cyan and pink against a ceiling at the top of a Christmas tree, with a smaller lit print hanging below it and a trumpet bell catching the light.

My brain, open sourced

I have printed a lot of brains. This one is mine. The raw structural MRI and printable models are on GitHub, under Apache 2.0. You can print it yourself.

Opensourced 2019 · MRIcron, STL, 3D printed · github.com/andytwoods/brain

A teal 3D-printed brain with its folds clearly resolved, sitting on a striped rainbow rug, with a smooth white printed light bulb balanced on top of it. Another brain part way through printing, seen through the printer’s webcam: the print head just above a half-finished purple cortex on a Prusa i3, with a brick wall and a bicycle behind it.

The Inclusivity Bookshelf

Three physical bookshelves already on campus, plus a website so other places of work can set up their own.

Launched 2025 · inclusivitybookshelf.com

Two shelves of an inclusivity bookshelf, books face-out.
