Prototype #4

Mr.Nichol gave us a challange threw a sheet of paper to make the letters in a name stay together so I made this.

I thought it looked cool but i didnt like it as much as the puzzle piece. I might not go with this idea.

Problems
Some layers might be to thin
Maker bot might screw up on the lines
Don't like it as much as puzzle piece

Prototype #3

After working on the circle idea a friend showed me this.
http://www.tribalhollywood.com/Detail.bok?no=1054&cat=Necklaces+and+Pendants

Those gave me a idea to make a keychain idea like that with initials on it. So i made this.

This seems like a really cool idea and it could work.

Problems
Curve surface holes
Size (big or small enough)

Conclusion
I might try and model ths in the maker bot later.

Prototype v2

Creation
After working on my prototype I look at other designs for keychain here were some ideas

After looking at those I made this.

Problems
Durability
Size (3 cm big enough?)

Conclusion 
I'm welcome to any help and or feed back you may be able to give.

The Beginning

Thoughts
I want to make a cool keychain. I already made a prototype.

But I don't think its cool enough. I want no block on the bottom. I only want the name.

Size
I was thinking about 6 cm long and 3 cm wide and less then 1 cm high.

Buyers
I want this to appeal to 16 year old boys

To Do
Build prototype-Done
Draw up new idea
Build another prototype
Evolve prototype
Make final product
