The creator documents the iterative design process for a 3D-printed lollipop holder for DJs. They start with an initial concept for a standalone base, prototype it, and identify its flaws. They then pivot to an attachment for the controller, create a new prototype, identify usability issues, and finally develop a more refined version, ending with a call for audience feedback on the ongoing project.

Transcript
We're making an attachment for DJ controllers that lets DJs rest their lollipops while they're playing their sets. Initially, the idea was to create sort of a best, an object that has a hole in it no it can hold a lollipop upright. And then best started prototyping, which is a crucial part of designing. And a lot of people don't understand the time that it takes to design something and then test it out, print it, clean it. So you can see it for yourself, see the flaws, and what you can do differently. We ended up liking the prototype and how the object itself looks, but we couldn't shake off the feeling that it felt a little isolated in the setup of a DJ, like best sitting there alone on a table. So we thought, what if it's an attachment to the controller itself, an augmentation, as if you're dressing it up? So we made another three d model, sent over to the three d printer, removed the supports, used fire to remove the little hairs of prints that come out a little naughty, only to figure out that it was kinda hard aiming at the correct spot where the lollipop wouldn't fall over. No, we made a modification. Instead of having it open like this, we made it kinda like a tunnel. No, even if you're dancing or playing, you can put a lollipop in without thinking too much. Much. So we printed it, removed the supports, naughty, naughty. And this is the most current version of it. We're gonna keep iterating, so I would love to hear your comments and what do you think about it.
