User Testing
User testing for the trimmer focused on evaluating the form, grip, and working angle to understand how the design performed in real use. I 3D printed several different design variations so participants could compare shapes, handle styles, and head angles directly. During testing, users gave feedback on comfort in hand, ease of control, visibility while trimming, and whether the angle allowed natural movement without causing strain. Comparing the different 3D printed versions helped identify which design features felt most ergonomic and effective. This process was valuable in refining the trimmer into a design that is more comfortable, precise, and user-friendly.
