Description:
We are building a WiFi enabled irrigation unit and need a prototype 3D design that we will print.Here is our company www.h2lo.co
I have included these photos just to show what the slot on the bottom will look like for the consumer to attach wires to the sprinkler relay.

This design will encase a PCB board with a relay.
Wants:
The product dimensions will be (roughly) 6 inches width x 6 inches height x 2.25 inches depth. We do not need an LCD screen since the device will be headless. We will need one hole for a power adapter cord and one small slot (one inch) for the wireless card we are using. We also need a slot on the bottom for the relay (where you attach wires) that should be 5 inches long.This pictures shows an example of the wireless chip that we need a slot for:

Don't Wants:
A boring, old-fashioned, clunky, irrigation unit design. We are going for a sleek look that people will ask 'what is that amazing looking thing in your garage?.' Think the Nest of irrigation.
Software:
- SolidWorks

Thanks but we have a 3D printer and do not have a laser cutter :)
Oops, sorry, can I try to improve it and make a model that can be prototyped with laser cutting?
Thank you very much Franz, I misinterpreted what is written above, I apologize

Vincenzo your design 
is getting closer to what we want. Someone that is thinking outside the box, and not just making a box!

For this iteration there are no LEDs. We do not have the PCB dimensions yet. We will be placing a prototype into this case. The dimensions need to be (roughly) 6 inches width x 6 inches height x 2.25 inches depth.
Please personal message me for questions. Thanks.

The only plug is for power. We also need a one inch slot for the SDK card. Don't worry about the # of connections, we just need a slot to expose the relay. There are no LEDs for this iteration. Please personal message me for direct questions. Thanks.

Please inform if there are some plugs to include, besides the USB and power plug. I have seen in your site that there are provisions in the device for up to 8 zone connections. Please, indicate quantity and type of connectors.
Another question is if you prefer that the device will indicate with some LED its status (on/ok/error). If it were the case, indicate type and quantity of indicators
By the way, the aspect of the device in the site does not look so boring to me. Please include some examples of designs that you consider good.

Hai Franz,
Please let us know if there were any LED's available on you PCB. If so, then we would like to give you more aesthetic look for your product.

quadcopter UAV design contest
I need a unique, rugged quadcopter UAV design,analysis and all necessary fabrication details for production in large quantities.The quadcopter should have a high endurance similar to the Microdrones Md4-1000

The quadcopter should be modular in nature like the Aeryon Scout

Control-box with display, fitting on a DIN rail
This is about a first product draft, which shall later be turned into a production ready design.
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: https://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.
