Description:
I am looking first for a design concept that will improve the look of this product. Modernize the look of this rectangular spring loaded retractable string that holds a pencil-holding adapter. Right now the body is a a plain looking 1.25" x 1.25" x .375" with a flexible rubber adapter on the end of a string.
I would like something that looks industrial, heavy duty and sleek, and a look that flows into the flexible adapter. Think about how an Apple design person would want this to appear.
This version will be used by working contractors and tradesman. This has a belt slide clip on the back, that should stay about the same although I will entertain an optional carabineer hook.
Wants:
Does it stand out, would a tradesman be proud to wear it? Does it look modern? Does it give the appearance of rugged and well built? Does the design of the rectangular shape of the body "flow" with the flexible tubing? Can it be injection molded? Solidworks file preferred.
Ask for Sample:
would ask for sample for freelancer to complete with more details if the designer is capable,
Software:
- PTC Creo Parametric
Additional Information
I prefer Solidworks filesThis will be an injection molded device.
I have attached a back view and another design for the same basic product, this one has a carabiner.
Again, I am looking for a new design, make it look rugged, make it look like a tool, make it look different from all the other retractors out there.
My product holds a writing instrument in the flexible adapter, see it in the photo, the new design case should have features that blend into this adapter.
for reference, if you are using a CAD program for the design, you may want to allow for some internal features, so, I have added a jpg showing the internal features of the current bottom case.
I have added some dimensions of the internal features that you can use for reference to build a 3D model. If you find a retractor of this type, similar to those used as badgeholders, you will know that the main internal component is a spring loaded reel.
The final version may use slightly larger reel than allowed by these dimensions. And the outside case dimensions depend on your new visual design.
The main goal right now is to find a new visual design that meets my objectives noted in the project.

Hello skip,
Do you have any other photos of the bottom case or measurements for the inside parts, and would you be willing to upload the model that picture came from for reference?
Thanks, Cadraw

Hello,
1. You&;re asking for SolidWorks files, yet you listed Pro/Engineer as a wanting software... Would a neutral format (step) be okay?
2. So if I understand you, you would like to have it done by plastic molding?
3. Could you attach a photo or something, so we would have a reference?
Regards,
Luka

Build me a Funky, Cool design for our new sensors
We are coming up with new sensors that we would be installing in gym equipment. We want it to look innovative – that with just one look of our sensors, our brand will be recognized.
Besides having an innovative design, we need a wifi logo – or any design showing that the sensor works via wifi/online, and our logo, GYMetrix, should be part of the sensors’ design.
We have also attached the holes needed for the sensor to work (colored blue and green on the attached design of our current sensors). The holes have to be in place and can’t be moved. They should be carefully integrated in the design – which is the big part of the challenge.
Think out of the box!
*Always refer to the files attached for reference.
We have added more information regarding the design we need:
Color: If possible, the bottom part of the sensor is a different color from the top. So that we can differentiate from the top and bottom part. We have attached an ideal bottom part background we have in mind.
Surface:
- Bottom surface have to be flat where the blue holes indicated should be.
- Top Surface can be anything. Use your imagination! (Like the beacon image attached).
- We need one side to be flat. We need this to put stickers for inventory purposes.
- One side needs to have the green hole.
- The rest, you can use your creativity!
Size: Current size of our sensors is 7.3cm x 3.4cm x 2.8cm. Don’t be limited with the current dimensions, you can make it slightly bigger to accommodate your new design. However, make sure the placement of the holes needed should still be in place.
Holes: The blue holes indicated in the diagram, is part of the bottom part. Please see attached image “sensor design-holes needed” and other files for reference. The purpose of the 2 holes is where we can (1) turn the sensor on or off and (2) where the light indicator will be.
Total number of holes: 3
File types needed:
- STEP (.stp)
- SolidWorks (.sldprt)
- ProE (.prt)
- Parasolid (.x_t and .x_b)
- ACIS (.sat)
- AutoCAD (.dwg, 3D Only)
- Autodesk Inventor (.ipt)

Electronic Cigarette Lightsaber MOD Variable Voltage via DNA 30 OLED
This contest is for a design of an ecig mod. The mod will be designed around the 18650 battery, 510 connection, tritium keychain(without the keychain ring), the DNA 30d variable voltage board, and usb charger board from evolve. The design will be cut in titanium or stainless by a 4 axis cnc and/or digital lathe. Design should be simple, but very scifi in look. Should look like a sleek lightsabre as much as possible. Design should feature a magnetic switch that uses opposing magnetic poles to keep the switch out unlike most mod switch that have spring type switches. All the parts should be threaded or use c clips, etc for easy dissemble and reassemble.
DNA and UBD board Info can be found here
