Frame made with 3D printer

Many changes were made in the design
Bowen said that the touchscreen was not working when the phone was unfolded. He had to work hard on it. He told that he had to change the design of the phone many times. A lot of tests were done on it to make it functional. Before making the touchscreen functional, he had damaged many screens during testing. Bowen further told that his model is still in its very initial stage and there are many shortcomings in it, which are yet to be removed.
