Tried to originaly create a spine braclete --- but I didn't like the look so I change to a necklace

Grasshopper | Elk Tutorial - Challenge was setting up elk. Very cool though.
Voronoi_Cell - A challenge was to get the inicial points in Rhino connected to grasshopper. It was cool to move the points and see how the voronoi object dynamically change.
Sphere_Voronoi - A challenge with this object is that it doesn't really look like that of the tutorials. It is cool to learn that I can add mesh colors.
Paneling with Surface Morph - This created an unexpected yet cool design. A challenge I faced was using the berp and my computer stuggling with all the computations.
Graph Mapper - It was fun to see how the graphs changed the object's shape. My favorite function was the perlin.
2D Illusion Pattern - Super cool that I can curve multiple lines like this. Stuggled with how I can make the design more custom.
Curves & Surfaces - It was super cool to see how I can bring shapes from Rhino into grasshopper! In this tutorial I also learned that I can uniquely effect radius and length by double taping that text (previously I just clicked the shape until it gave me the right preview, not realizing that I should click a certain text). I struggled with getting the small cones to sit on the surface of the big cone.
I loved the design of the Voronoi. It was a challenge to try and bound the shape within another (figured it out with region intrsection).
Creating this object was much easier because I leaned how to do the double tap searching. A challenge was finding the right circle component -- the planar version instead of the single point one.
A challenges I ran into was finding the components I needed to create the object. I enjoyed being able to change the varibales to get new objects.

I tried pursuing the toothpaste squeezer idea. I found a cool rotating joint online and hoped to implement it into my design. Unfortunately, the design was a mesh and I had many issues trying to get it to work with my design (there were holes in the CAD). In the end, I decided to take out the rotating hinge. When I tried recreating the design myself I accidentally didn't save my new file and as I completed a command, Rhino crashed. I lost the file :( Due to time constraints, I decided to end with a simplified design so that I could at least practice using the 3D printer.

Project ideas include a tooth past squeezer that explores joints. The small size will allow it to be light and the interior is hollow (therefore working with object 2 requirements). I have some example files, but my next steps included measuring my toothpaste and creating the CAD file.
Below is a photo of the area that I struggled to cap because the file I imported was a mesh.
