Hi Tolga,
nice idea - would this be feasible only with 3D printing? How would you integrate the other components to guarantee the versatile functionality you describe in your submission?

Good luck!

This idea went beyond 3d printed parts while I was thinking scenarios and interactions in my head. Because of its technological aspect, it will need extra parts like OLED panels, some electronic components and magnet. However, the rest consists of 3d printed parts and planned to use where it is possible.
