The solution was left to us from last year’s group

Prototype
● The first few prototypes I had was with the wooden arm, but just with markings on it rather than cuts
● Also there was the cardboard version and the 3D Printed version

Testing
● Next I tested out the product on top of the first arm and found that the arm was too loose and the opening tool too
Fixed with new wood, glued in with acrylic

● And the arm was sturdy in place

Possible Solutions
Separate small article of clothing they can try on and practice
A board that they can walk up to with the different articles of clothing
![Page 24: By Sung-bin Yun, Chris Mellen, and Brandon Howe Sprinkles Trifecta (Food, Clothes, Art)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f575503460f94c7c5f9/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Best Solution
● The best solution we came up with was the portable board with the interchangeable article of clothes via Velcro
![Page 25: By Sung-bin Yun, Chris Mellen, and Brandon Howe Sprinkles Trifecta (Food, Clothes, Art)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f575503460f94c7c5f9/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Prototype
● The first prototype was a cardboard cut-out with just the buttons on it and pvc for the stand
![Page 26: By Sung-bin Yun, Chris Mellen, and Brandon Howe Sprinkles Trifecta (Food, Clothes, Art)](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062803/56649f575503460f94c7c5f9/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Testing
● We found that the board itself was not sturdy enough and the base was weak
● Cement for the base kept it steady
● Moving the pvc also helped keep the board straight

Final Product
- For our final product I finished making the board sturdy and painted it for the aesthetics
