Description:
A plywood flowerpot using the capabilities of CNC. Many people enjoy container gardening, but the price and wintertime storage concerns mean they use a pot that is too small. I want a plywood pot that snaps together. 4 sides, a bottom, and a lip around the top. Design should be scaleable from 1 o 15 gallon. I am thinking interlocking edges and wedges to hold on a double thickness lip and bottom. Alternatively, whole thing could be held together with wedges. Open to all ideas. Bottom should be recessed from actual bottom so it can sit on a stand. stand included in design. Construction would be of 1/4 inch luann (doorskin) plywood. Comes in a 4 by 8 foot sheet. Pot would be cut out on a shopbot type machine.
Wants:
Efficient use of plywood. Evaluation would be based on 5 gallon pot. Sturdy design. Easy assembly. Pot shaped ie. not square.
Don't Wants:
Square box.
Ask for Sample:
Would like a 3 d rendering of assembled pot.
Software:
- flexible.

Hello Everyone,
I will be ending the contest tomorrow (Wednesday) at 0700 cst. I am going to be choosing 3 designs. Although labelled as first, second or third, be aware they are all 1st place winners. I want to thank everyone for their entries and say that I am really impressed by the quality and ingenuity of the designs.
Thank You

Scaleable means the design would work as a 1 gallon pot or a 15 gallon pot with only some minor changes. For this contest, we are using a 5 gallon pot as the reference design.
Dear gjb2
I don&
;t know the purpose of this, can you explain :
"Design should be scaleable from 1 o 15 gallon"
Thank&

Please see the updated attachment.
Lifespan of plywood pot is about 3
years. An advantage of the design would be. It&
;s ability to decompose. If you had perennials in pot, you could pull the sides off and plant the pot. It would rot away.
The caduys are posting a picture of my rough (VERY ROUGH) ideas.
I want to be able to ship as a flat pack.
Not collapsible, but able to be dis assembled.

Mine has 4 fixed corners. These can be made in any number of configurations and shapes. Out of a wide variety of materials. Wood slats are in between and slats for the bottom as well. Although these can be made of vinyl pvc (like fences) so they will last longer. I can make versions in different heights and shapes using the same basic idea. Hope you like it.

Would you like the design to be collapsable?
also, how are you planning to bend the wood, and to what level of tolerance will your bending be?
wouldn&
;t plywood rot once you put soil and water inside it? surely its a case of false economy, when trying to use a plywood pot to save money, where it has to be thrown away and replaced due to rot every winter? unless you are planning on treating it with some sort of petrochemical, in which case, is the cost of treatment going to push up production costs to equal that of a plastic pot?

four flat sides. But not Square shaped. Bottom of the pot is smaller than the top. Please keep the questions coming.
Hi just one quick Q: these 4 sides of a pot would be bent to get assembled in round pot shape? Or I got that wrong? Will this bending occur more horizontally or vertically (like in a wooden barrel)?

Floating Seed Sprouter
The device has to be no more than 2.5" in diameter - it needs to fit in a cup.
It will be 3D printed, and then plastic mold manufactured.
The device needs to support 100g of weight, not tip over, and stay afloat.
Specifically, the 100g weight will be no larger with a 2" diameter, and can be as small as .25" in diameter. I envision 3 adjustable, horizontal poles that are attached in the inside walls of the device, that can move vertically up/down, depending on the weight of the seed, and in/out, depending on the size of the seed.
Lastly, there needs to be a hole that is no smaller than .5 inches, at the bottom of the device so water can get through.
Ideally, I would like to see buoyancy / fluid simulations of this in action, to ensure it meets the above criteria. Any other questions, please let me know.
wallet clip for keys/key fob/cash&CC/ headphones
As seen in the sketchup images, this rectangular clip functions as a wallet and clips onto the opening of a front pants pocket (an example is shown in photo's). I need YOUR help in finding an ergonomic & functional solution to securing a car key FOB to the clip as well as sourcing pro CAD files that can be sent to a CNC machining facility.
Knee-based Travel Mug Holder - New Product Design / Prototype
Commuters on buses and trains don't have cup holders, and so they are left with the balancing act of holding their travel mug in one hand, while trying read the paper or work on their laptops with their other hand. This sucks, causes spills, and is super uncomfortable. Commuters need something that's compact and foldable that can then open and attach comfortably to their knee (or another body part?) that will securely hold travel mugs of different sizes.
Replicate Macbook Pro Cover
We are looking for someone to help us replicate a shell case for a MacBook Pro in a CAD format drawing that will function and fit the desired measurements. Our goal is to be able to take this design to a manufacturer for building. This case will include two parts: a top and a bottom. These parts need to be able to be built separately.
Please see attached PDF for measurements
This design should also be flexible enough to be adjustable so we can fit both the 15” and the 13” models. These models will be first produced in a CNC environment so the file must work within those constraints.
The design should not include the bottom leg pads.
The case we are looking to replicate is http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Products-SeeThru-Raspberry-SPK-A1498/dp/B00937DOEK
We have most of the measurements but a second look would help.
Wants: someone who either has a mac or can get their hands on one to see the coverture on the top and bottom case. Something that will actually can be produced.
Main focus is on the 15" model case.
Extra: additional Money can be earned if also completing the older version of the macbook pro case. also included in the PDF. 2012 version. $50.
Hearing Aid Sport Accessory
Hi
I have a small product that I need designed and built in Solidworks (2014). The product is a sports accessory for a hearing aid that is roughly around 35mm x 45 mm in size. The product will be a silicone mould that slips onto the hearing aid and hooks around the ear, similar to how sports headphones have hooks around the ear to stop them falling it out when running. I have a 3D model of the hearing aid that I can provide you with (available in the following formats: .3DS, .OBJ, .WRL) that can be used as a reference. I haven’t worked out precise measurements, which is what I will need the designer to work out. I have a budget of around 160 USD for this particular project and the deadline would be 10th March 17. If it goes well I will also seek additional work, as I need more models creating. I have attached some rough sketches of the concept.
Please let me know if you have any questions,
Many thanks,
Jay
