D-Bottle is a bottle holder for desks. It allows students to put their water bottles in a safer place away from the floor, and the top of a desk. A lot of kids accidentally spill their water and other drinks that can damage very important material, or mess up the floor horribly. The D-Bottle is made to prevent that.
The Design Process for D-Bottle
This design did not work. Because we wanted the bottle holder to balance, we put a "support" beam on the left of the hook. However, the support beam was too high and did not make the D-Bottle balanced, therefore the D-bottle was very loose and swung around.
In this design, we got rid of the base, or the middle part of the bottle holder, and replaced it by extending the bottom of the hook. Because the support beam was too high in the first design, we move the support beam to the lower back of the base. Unfortunately , the support beam still didn't keep the D-Bottle balanced, and the D-bottle was still loose.
In this design, we got rid of the support beam due to how useless it was, and replaced it with a similar duplicate of the hook. It successfully support the bottle holder, therefore the bottle holder was balanced and sturdy.
