Model of the device handle I created on SolidWorks
3D Prints turned out well!
Parameterized handle faces customizable to different screen sizes
Two configurations, a small and large screen size side by side
3D Printed models with various screen/handle ratios
I laser-cut acrylic screens and with black spray paint around the outer mask
Fully finished handle after sanding, spray painting, and assembly!
Paper cutouts were placed under the acrylic screens to create a realistic model
The different front/back shells of the 3 different screen size models to test for user feedback
