Who are We?
The 3D Engineer Mini Sirens is an online miniature civil defense siren store for enthusiasts, combining historical accuracy with the modern hobbyist passion. We create functional models that capture the legacy of historical electromechanical sirens that have warned the public of impending danger for decades.
My Story
Hi there, I'm Miles Peterson, the founder of The 3D Engineer Mini Sirens. I am a 14-year-old electrical engineer with over 8 years of experience, a weather fanatic, and a siren enthusiast. My first interests in civil defense sirens came about when I moved to the beloved State of Oklahoma in 2023. Living in the very heart of Tornado Alley, I quickly took note of the many tornado sirens that play a crucial role in outdoor warning. I can still remember the first time I heard sirens sound for a tornado warning during a bad storm one night.
And so, with a new fascination and a growing passion for engineering, I began designing my own miniature siren models.
In late 2024, I got my first 3D printer, and since then, I have been printing my own mini siren models. Over the past few years I have perfected my designs, now to the point of selling them for other people to enjoy.
Today, I strive to provide high-quality, affordable miniature siren models for people who don't have 3D printers or the resources to make their own. I hope you enjoy my models as a nice addition to your collection!
