Final

I put some Chinese words on the surface.

The meanings are to wish the health and luck on you.

The model development

I added the hanging at the back of the incense burner, so it could be hanged on the wall and put it on the table as well.

Exp II (2)

The result is acceptable, as you can see it can catch more ash than the model that is without a side wall.

Experiment part II

With this test, I added a little wall on the side of the 40mm. width model to make sure that it can catch more ash.

R & D

From the first experimention, I should make the incense burner that wide enough to collect the ash and its back support should high enough as well.

The first result

The first outcome. The inceses took about 30 mins to burnt

With the 40 mm. width, the ash are on the side, and there are some on the back.
Whereas, the 90 mm. width, it can collect almost the droped ash, but there are still some at the back.

Exp (3)

You can see the ash droped on to the ground.

Experiments (2)

I started to burn the incenses and record the burning time.

I tested it on the white paper so I can see and record where the ash will go.

Experiments

In this stage, I tested the model's function.

There are two models, 40 mm. width & 90 mm. width.


Actually, the amount of incense that chinese people will burn at the same time are 3, 6, or 9.
The fact that I burned 12 incenses at the same time is to test the amount of the ash that my model can catch and store.

More...

I added a dragon on the incense burner surface and also it could be put some Chinese words or symbols.

CAD Concept

I have rendered a quick CAD model.

Hopefully, it demonstrates clearly to you guy.

Product Update (How does it work?)

1. Grab your incense sticks
2. Burn the incense sticks
3. Let's pray
4. Simply place the incense stick into the stick holder
5. Enjoy and relax
6. The incense ash will drop to the ash catcher
7. Empty the ash and clean
