3D Object Design

  We chose coffee beans (I didn't have any on hand) The object we chose was coffee beans, and a stovetop coffee pot was mentioned when we were brainstorming. On my own, I was thinking of things coffee would be in, hence the mug, but I thought it would be funny to have coffee packaged in a tea bag, so that's where that idea came from. As for openings and how things would close, I came up with using how a teapot keeps the lid from falling as inspiration for the pot where it'll have two taps that line up and when you twist the lid, it'll lock. I also had a thought of having a second compartment in the bottom to put coffee filters or something in there but I'm not sure how to get it to close reliably, and that's two objects, so I'm not sure if we can do that. For the tea bag I originally just wanted it to be tight enough to stay closed and open when you swished the sides, but with it being made out of paper, I think that would be a one-use thing or just not work...

The biggest struggle I had was the hooks as getting the right shape was a struggle, and when I used Sweep 2, the hooks looked bumpy and uneven, not to mention I was struggling to make it a closed shape. But I was able to fix the unevenness with Rebuild and you helped with closing the shape, so in the end, they were pretty easy fixes. But I'm really happy with how it turned out, and in the future, I feel like I could improve on my understanding of the p...
