Optimal Fork Placement
It was suggested that placing the fork near the side of the thumb, rather than the center of the palm, would allow the hand to maintain a more natural and functional posture while gripping. This insight emphasized the importance of aligning the tool with ergonomic movement patterns.

Twist-Inspired Snap-Fit Design
The idea of using a twist-style snap-fit mechanism for attaching the fork was highlighted as innovative. This approach enhances stability while allowing the utensil to be inserted or removed with controlled rotation, offering both flexibility and safety during use.

Multiple Snap-Fit Variations
Creating multiple versions of the snap-fit adapter (we produced 10 variants) was seen as a strong design decision. This allowed us to explore different sizes, angles, and configurations to better meet Diego’s needs and test various user scenarios.

High-Quality Documentation
Our documentation, including the technical drawings, fabrication steps, and user guidance, was described as very clear and well-structured. It helped communicate our design intent and made the project reproducible by others.

Effective Fabrication
The overall quality of fabrication—including sewing, integration of materials, and the attachment of the 3D-printed parts—was praised. The use of soft, stretchable, and skin-friendly fabric was also noted as a thoughtful and user-centered choice.

Encouragement to Explore Further
We were encouraged to explore several avenues in future iterations:

• Varying the utensil types (e.g., spoons, pencils, toothbrushes)

• Creating a modular system for different hand sizes or user preferences

• Experimenting with rotational angles, materials, or quick-release systems

• Collecting feedback from more users with similar needs
