camalapse mini
We are looking to add another product to our successful camalapse 4 product offering. The camalapse mini will operate using a similar internal mechanical/spring wound timer that is in the regular camalapse 4 (camalapse.com) but it will not have a female tripod mount on the bottom and instead of a male 1/4 20" male post on the top, it will need a feature/mechanism to hold a smartphone securely in place. The overall concept of this device is to operate exactly like the camalapse, but to be as small as a form factor as possible (fit safely into a small purse or large cargo pocket) as the target market is entirely focused on smartphones. At a minimum, the smartphone holder needs to hold the smartphone with a variety of thicknesses (with and without cases) in landscape mode at a 90 degree angle from the horizontal top surface of the camalapse mini. Bonus if the smartphone holder can also achieve a 45 degree angle. Big bonus if the smartphone holder is able to hold the smartphone at any angle but the mechanism to do so is simple and easy to manufacture. We will need to build a complete prototype, and will probably use shapeways to print all plastic parts so we will need files from the winner that can be used for 3D printing (during contest) and later for injection molds (after prototypes are successful). If metal parts are needed for concept, please advise where they can be purchased in small quantity online with links. The design does not need to mimic the octagonal shape of the camalapse 4, but some element of design carry over would be nice as this will be an additional product that we will want to leverage the success of the camalapse 4. We say this because the octagonal shape creates a larger form factor which we are trying to avoid.

We have included many pictures of the timer mechanism which the camalapse mini needs to be built around. We have added dimensions as best that we could. Please ask if you need more. Individual questions will be answered both individually and for the group.
Skin Care Brush
I'm seeking a CAD designer/firm for a skin care brush. Below are it's requirements:
1. a two-three piece mold in which the parts join (snap, insert, interlock, etc).
2. top portion part is a more flexible durometer and the bottom portion/handle part is a firm plastic durometer.
3. a clean, minimalist design (visual references can be provided)
- brush body must conform to body areas shapes: legs, armpits, bikini zone, under neck/chin
- brush handle must be ergonomic to right/left handed
4. additional info as well as pencil & vector sketches can be provided for later stages
5. No need to design the brush bristles (already have these) so main focus is on body and how the two durometers are joined
6. I will need at least (3) three designed options to pick from and prototype.
Design Improvement of a lock - Make it look better
Hello,
We are currently working on replicating a design of a fridge lock(see https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09WQNPKD4 ). Please check the link images and video so you can understand how the product work and technical terms.
We would like to replicate this product while keeping:
- Same adhesive surface size
- Same recessed door frame range(see image 4): -9mm to +5mm
- Same max sealing: 25mm
I'd like you to suggest a better outer look(housing, buttons, and moving parts). I just want it to look better than the existing product.
I am open to suggestions though.
I have attached:
- a .stp file of a similar model although not the same. This .stp file is respecting the 3 criteria above(max strip size, adhesive size...). Preview images of the stp file are attached too.
- Video of the real product

Kids Innovative Equestrian Saddle Design
We are looking for a professional spec sheet/drawing of a children's equestrian barrel racing saddle with very unique features! The purpose of this drawing will be to help provide specs to a supplier so we can have a first prototype.
First, the saddle will be using a standard kids saddle tree but will neoprene instead of leather with a cordura wrap over the neoprene for weatherproofing and durability (100 D cordura)! This exists today, but in adult sizes. Good examples of youth sizes we will need are here (good for dimensional references: http://www.saddleonline.com/blogs/content/how-fit-saddle-child-or-youth) I'd like to start with 12" and 14" seat sizes. I would like this to weigh no more than 12 lbs. This is the exact saddle I want but with the features below and in children size seats: brazilliansaddle.com
The first unique feature will be a cinch strap that is "ratcheting" versus traditional leather that is pulled through and tightened with holes. This will make it easy for a child to tighten. The ratchet can be aluminum or steel but must have a padding that velcro over so it doesn't scrape the leg of the rider or the horses side. It should be as thin in profile as integrally possible. An example of the ratchet style I like is here: http://www.hamptonproducts.com/product/details/07507?v=c. The hooks should lay flat however, and there should be holes on the slack so someone can essential put the one end of the cinch in and tighten the rest of the way with the ratchet.
The second feature is a fold up "step" that will be on the left side of the saddle if a rider is sitting on it and behind the stirrup. The "step" can be nylon with a plastic bar for the bottom of the foot. It must be able to be coiled up and snapped up onto the saddle when not in use.
The third feature is a gel seat that will provide added comfort for the rider.
The third feature are storage on the back and sides of the saddle (a built on saddle pack) that can hold a water bottle and phone.
It would be awesome to show this in a cactus pattern just to get the idea across that we want something fun and do various patterns. See attachments.
