Building Procedures and Pricing: To construct our prototype we took into consideration the length our scoop, the thickness of our scoop, and the size of the sphere. We came up with the correct measurements by seeing different types of scoops, finding the ideal cookie size, and printing a smaller scale prototype to find the right angles and cuts. We made our original design in inventor and printed it on a smaller scale. We realized that we had a few mistakes and we went back into inventor and fixed them.
Jesel never contacted us back saying they were able to do our scoop so we took matters into our own hands.
We purchased two cookie dough scoops and disassembled them until we were left with the scoop part and the handle. We set up a contraption (shown below) that allowed our cookie dough scoop to sit and harden in the silicone. We had to first paint on a base coat and then we did the second layer. When the second layer set, we realized that it did not adhere along the edge. We made another contraption to coat that part in silicone and even out the other layer.
