Head Halo
This challenge is to create a CAD file that I can use to 3D print the item. Would also love to have a few images that can be used for a presentation. Attached is a design that I created in Word
Utility knife
I am looking for a utility knife design where the blade can go from cutting, to scraping, without removing the blade from the handle.
The knife should preform like a normal utility knife when cutting. Then the blade edge would have to be fully exposed, and locked into a "T" shape with the handle, allowing the knife to scrape a flat surface.
The blade should be the standard, trapezoidal utility blade.
The blade would have to fold or slide into the handle when not in use.
Cardboard Box Flattening Apparatus Prototype Design Upgrade
We are seeking innovative and functional design BASED ON THE ATTACHED SKETCH for a portable tool designed to efficiently flatten corrugated cardboard box containers for recycling or disposal. The tool should be lightweight, easy to use, and safe, even for individuals with limited physical strength. The core mechanism involves a foot-activated system that uses leverage and gravity to deploy 4 flattener 'wings' that collapse boxes instantly, reducing time and effort compared to manual flattening. The key to the functionality is distributing the pressure evenly to all sides of the boxes.
The final design should balance aesthetics, manufacturability, and durability, with clear technical specifications.
The deliverable includes CAD models, technical drawings, and material recommendations.The best candidate will be able to flatten the largest range of typical commercial use box sizes for consumer packaged goods www.uline.com/BL_417/275-Lb-Test-Single-Wall-Boxes
The design should be a welcome improvement to tearing boxes by hand, cutting them with a blade or stomping on them with your feet.
Novel Naval Architecture and Retrofit Electric Marine Propulsion Systems
At Fluidity Marine, our mission is to develop sustainable and eco-friendly marine technologies that push the boundaries of performance, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. We strive to revolutionize the marine industry by creating innovative solutions that reduce environmental impact while improving performance and safety. Our goal is to lead the way towards a more sustainable future for the marine industry and promote responsible stewardship of our oceans and waterways.
For our initial fundraising efforts, we require some conceptual artwork of novel and theoretical designs for 3D Printed Hull designs across an array of hull types (Pontoon, Semi-Displacement, and Planing Hulls) all with modular electric motors and water jet, impeller based and rudderless propulsion. Dynamically deployed hydrofoil systems with integrated impellor jet systems are encouraged.
We have basic sketches of an array of designs attached to the project, but would appreciate extrapolation and creativity in so much as the designs are either:
1) Completely novel hull designs only possible with 3D printed manufacturing
2) Integrated flat nozzle water jet arrays without rudders that navigate based on flow control of jets on one side or the other.
3) Aftermarket Retrofit devices that can be attached to existing hulls to convert traditional hulls to electric propulsion.
4) Foiling Impeller Systems that extend on-demand from the hulls (integrated and aftermarket)
5) Solar and Wind generated energy systems integrated into the shade structures of the boats. Particularly Flexible Solar Cloth as Biminis, Gorlov Helical Turbines mounted horizontally on shade structures underneath rigid solar shade structures above them.
6) Automated Solar and Wind powered barges, docks, and other marine support structures.

African Food Packaging Machine (Manually operated)
I'm looking for someone who a can conceptualize, design, make 3D model and make animation of the packaging machine for an African traditional food packing method as shown in attached video. In which, for a single cycle we just have to put the leaves one on another in machine and feed the food somewhere so that it can be laid on to the leaves and then rest of the packaging process be carried out by machine itself while operated manually. The final packaging should look as close to the original hand packaging as possible. The machine should be manually operated and not electric one.
