Three-dimensional design software is challenging for novices and non-experts; when working with objects that already exist, the task becomes even more difficult. We present Printy3D, a system that enables children to design customized containers for electronic modules using tangible interaction and spatially augmented reality feedback. Our system allows users to position physical objects in three dimensions relative to a virtual container, providing feedback on placement location and validity. We implemented two different interaction styles and conducted a user study with 26 participants, 23 of them children. We detail the results of our study and suggest implications for design as well as opportunities for future research for systems of this kind.
