We made an attachment for DJs to add to their controllers that holds a cigarette for them. This is the second attachment as part of a collection we're working on. The first one was designed to hold a lollipop. In that case, we needed to create an object that hangs a lollipop. But for the cigarette, we need an object that pinches the filter and holds it at a 30 to 45 degree angle no the cigarette burns slower when you're not smoking. And the geometry for that is pretty simple. This is the part that does the pinching. And when you press a cigarette in, it bends outwards creating some tension and holding it all together. And on the back, we have this ledge sticking out, and that's for when you get too locked in on your set and you neglect the cig, so it holds some of the ashes without making a complete mess. Before anyone asks, yes, it does work with other types of cigarettes. In this case, this is one from Flamer. They're really cool people in New York City, and it's all red. Like, the filter, the paper, so better with the holder, it becomes super aesthetic. I still need to design something for the other corner, so if you have any ideas for functionalities, no that you're a DJ that smokes or you're one of these three people, hit me up or let us know if you good use a cigarette holder like this.
