Form Finding
The final form was decided after much exploration with a
simple revolving shape that could be used with one hand.
The initial idea was to taper the grip in order to let the user
approach it with a stab or pen grip. A ridge or a flare was
also used as an idea so that it would stop the hand of a user
from moving too close to the hot tip of the heat gun.
After much thought and experimentation, I ascertained
that a straight walled body would do the job just fine, with
the help of the glass fibre reinforced plastic and a sufficient
affordance for the flare to provide safety.
