The center console of a car with a 3D printed cup holder in the right cup holder. The interior of the car is gray, and the image shows the two cup holders, and behind them (towards the front of the car) is a closeable hole. The 3D printed cup holder is tall, and wider than the original cup holder to be able to hold big bottles. It is printed in a shimmery blue-purple color.

A pair of 3D printed white hairpins with a gray 3D printed traditional crown. Each hairpin is a long stick, meant to look like a stem, with a flower and buds at the end, and they are laid down across the image next to each other, with the left flower sitting on the end of the right stem. The crown is a large rectangular shape, with the edges of the rectangle curving down to look semicircular from the front; the top of the crown is much longer than the bottom. All the 3d prints are laying on a black table.
