Results and Reflections


After seeing each group's product, we averaged out the results on our rubric:

Team International's Key Clip - 8/8

Kangas' Speaker - 7/8

Pachas' Chin Guard - 5/8

Pioneer's Charger Clip - 6/8

We liked Team International's product the best due to the functionality, durability, and cleanness.

  1. What do you think the hardest part of these past 4 weeks (besides class time!)?

    1. Learning to use TinkerCad was very challenging for me. After i took the tutorial and practiced a good amount, I finally got the hang of it and produced some good products. It is also a challenge to have print a project, and have it turn out as well as it looks on TinkerCad. It may seem like a good idea on the program, but once you print it, it could need more tinkering or it could have a limitation due to the printer.

  2. If the bottle opener does not end up being strong enough to open a bottle, what adjustments will you make to your design?

    1. We actually had one bottle opener that did not work, so I changed the thickness of the hook that opens the bottle and made the design more sturdy overall to be able to withstand more force and pressure because opened a bottle takes a lot of force because the cap is tightly on the bottle. I also made the hook less sharp and i made it thicker and a little more blunt because if the hook is too thin and sharp, it will easily chip and crack under pressure.

    1. Our prototypes did not, but with a little tinkering and making of new designs, our final product worked.
