Conceptual Design

Our design concept was to create a personal device that could be used in the home or workplace to help women track their period in a discrete way. The original design was to be comprised of a ping pong ball with an LED inside and a half sphere that spun around it. Olivia felt that we could make a 3D printed moon, so we decided to paint half of it black and half white. This approach necessitated that we move the LED to the outside, but allowed for a more stable connection of the moon to the servo.

We also realized that with the LED we could make the color change from white to amber, like the real moon. With this functionality, we decided to add a feature and incorporate an alert of the user's ovulation window.
