Why: An 8 year old girl wanted to use an Ipad but could not hold a stylus in her hand. A pen should also be able to fit securely.

How: I designed a 3D-printed stylus based on a description of the required features. I created it in Tinkercad and printed it using PLA filament.

Adjustments: I had to add a second 3D printed piece in order to make sure the stylus or pen is held securely on the wrist.

Result: The child was able to hold onto the new adapted stylus and use her iPad.
