We’re still working through the design of Product #1 today as I have been going back and forth via email with my more mechanically-inclined friend, “B”. While we do have a workable solution, I still feel like the product assembly for the customer can be simplified.
I think I’m going to ask my uni student designer and “B” to do a wipeboard session with me to see if we can do it better. I’m just waiting for my designer to finish his drawings of Product #3 first.
