[M] Bottom-edge tweak and trying textures

A project log for T^2 TyMist [gd0138]

I need some virtual desktop monitors that offer 90PPD at 90Hz.

Below is the 3 step process I did:

I like the look of the centre one, but worry that the sharp edge will hurt.

Now I think that the design is decent enough to move on, since it essentially needs to fit a pillow, air purifier, bike helmet and audio headset in there, even if the TyMist part fails. I'm just putting Solyndr and TyMist stuff in the same project for now.

I'm starting to see a resemblance to those thick, cold climate hats. Since nobody wears much-anything other than glasses, hats and audio equipment, any solution practically possible is going to be noticed by anyone even half atentive in a 50 metre radius. I think the best solution is to aim for a "Wow. That's a MASSIVE hat/helmet. Never seen that before. Anyway..." thought process in the public eye. Hopefuly I'd be wearing #TEOSS [gd0037] + #TetInventory [gd0039] too and I'd just be considered another food delivery service person. Maybe with some reflective stickers, it'll look more like a (road) safety device and less of a fashion statement; I think people are more tolerant if it looks like something is being worn for work/safety.

Just add some wool, maybe a pair of golden buttons... and now I can see the Kickstarter ad where the person inside is smiling, looking to the top right of the scene before the music starts and the trendy logo shows up.

I think this concept is at a point where any aesthetic changes would be texture based:

I like the matte metal paint (left) and granite (centre) look than carbon fibre (right). I think the matte metal looks the most calming. Also, I thought some white lines would also add some nice design contrast.

The textures actually make it look smaller and more like a bike helmet I'd find hung up on a Halfords or Wilko rack. Texturing is the last of my worries though, and since I've got a lot of White PETG and Transparent White PLA, all projects are still likely to be white.
