Reflection

This was an interesting process in that I actually did a lot of cardboard prototyping prior to committing to the final product. I enjoyed this (very) rapid prototyping style, as it allowed me to play around with a tangible model of the final product before committing to printing. 

I was worried that the cardboard would not mimic the strength and rigidity of the print, and this would result in a final print that would not be flexible enough to fit the pencil. While this was true, I was happy to find that the pencil did securely fit in and come out of the final product given that I gave it a little more wiggle room.

My print was a little more messy - I would be interested to see how the new Ultimaker could fix this, considering the supports would be water soluble. That would be perhaps a better choice for this print, since it is relatively small, so blemishes stand out a lot more.
