I need an enclosure for a custom made electronic part. The rough form-factor should be similar to a navigation system (see attached files) with a display in front and parallel enclosure boundaries, slightly rounded edges.
The display is 4.3 inches wide (see technical details attached) and should be included in the rendering. The enclosure should be 4 cm deep.
As a bonus, the display shows attached bar diagram.
At the back, there should be the possibility for a DIN rail mount, top hat rail EN 50022 – 35 × 7.5
but also for direct wall mount using screws or mounting to a bar with cable ties.
At the front left side of the enclosure, I need a C14 inlet to add a power cable and a Schuko socket: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schuko or CEE 7/3 socket. See attached figure of the design.
The material should be dark grey with a bit reflective surface. Please add our logo to the upper left corner of the front, below the display. If it fits optically, it could glow a bit in green.
The designer should have experience in designing consumer products and especially produce a solid mechanical fitting to the DIN rail. I will especially look at this feature.
It would be bonus to model the DIN rail as well for illustration.

Hi Mr sldraftingdesign
it's simple
Put the metal spring in their position and After that
Push against the metal spring upwards to mount the control box

I am quite happy and as Aminegn suggested, I added another 100 $ for the second & third place to the contest to honor that.
If I can have a wish for that, it would be from the 5 nominated designs to be a touch more interesting/some more nuances added to the designs. The logo can basically be everywhere and some of the designs could be a bit less bulky.

thank you for your comment.
Answer to question 1 :Yes it is necessary, but one can modify the design with the add a form that fit on the support.
Answer to question 2 : This is the easiest solution, just you can push up against the metal spring to release the Control-box

- is it a custom made metal part that is needed for the mounting, I mean the spring-like part in grey?
- is it intended that one can take the box on and off without any tools, by pushing it upwards against the metal spring?
Thank you
