First Acrylic Prototype

Initial CAD sketch

First acrylic prototype! 

-Insights-

• The counterweight was a great idea but could use some tweaking. I'll continue experimenting to find an easier way to adjust the weight. 
• I added a removable coaster section that would allow the user to take the coaster and wash it off from any tea drippings. The next iteration will have a ring to catch any drips from the teabag.
• The bird also needs some sort of rod that can keep it from flying back when adjusting the weights.
