Quote Kickstarter: "I played with the shape, size, weight, balance, and surface friction, and eventually arrived at a working design (g). However, when I altered the design to make it injection-mold-friendly and CNC milled it (h), it became too light and bouncy. A ball would flip it one way, and it would bounce right back the other way again. I made a few more adjustments and finally arrived at (i)."
I think there will be still some iteration when going for injection molds.
I was also thinking that Kickstart project makers should ask more from their community. I would love to translate to a Dutch version for example.
However, we've run a Kickstarter project ourselves. The involvement is not like that in practice. :-) It would be nice though to have a more collaborative creation process.
