Reflection

I admit this project ended up being harder than I imagined! It was quite a challenge to work with acrylic, which I certainly overestimated its flexibility. Having the clips break really forced me to think about the material I was working with, its properties, and how I could use it to my advantage while minimizing the disadvantages.

I think if I were to continue this project, I would like to create a better frame for the cup holder, so that it was guaranteed to sit neatly on any carry-on sized suitcase. As of now, the dimensions are bespoke to my suitcase. Additionally, I would likely switch back to the clip-on model, which is easier to use and more aesthetically minimalist, but I would use metal this time in order to get more flexibility.
