I think the best part of getting a basic 3D model done is to give you an idea of some physical constraints before spending big bucks on materials, e.g., you might realize that there's no space for a battery on your internet water bottle.

Definitely, both sizing and layout - On paper we thought we'd be able to design our current product in a reasonable form factor with a symmetric layout.

During the modeling phase we quickly switched to an asymmetric layout to maintain the form factor we were going for.
