The brief was to utilize 3d printing as a component in a design. Also, the product needed to be affordable. My mind went to a game or puzzle for kids. We have craft supplies hanging around the house and saw some paddle pop sticks. They are cheap and what a great idea to make connectors that connected paddle pop sticks to make shapes. An affordable toy for kids and for all ages.
First iteration of my connectors reminded me of Star wars robots. I could see potential there were issues with these designs.
I redesigned the connectors and created some variations which afforded me more creative options.
Up!
