Description:
Looking for 3D design concept of a small electronic device that will be worn on the neck of a small pet or animal (facing upwards, toward sky). Eventually the chosen design will be adapted to fit electronic components and manufactured.
Wants:
- Design an enclosure for a small electronic device that will be attached as a collar. - It will need to have a belt loop at either end so the device can be affixed like a collar.
-It will need to have a clear plastic top, incorporating a solar cell 60mmx25mm along the face/top of the design
- The device should have a decent curvature that can accommodate a variety of neck sizes, however have not too aggressive to make PCB mounting and battery placement difficult
Should Include:
- Power switch
- LED Status
- A micro USB port
- The product name (please just use " pet.trak " for now, all lower case) should be incorporated. Prefer to have this engraved or embossed.
- The size of the device is approximately:
Width: 55mm
Length: 85mm
Height: 18mm
A modern, sleek design is desired, with no hard corners. No preferences to colors or styles.
Don't Wants:
The design will eventually need to be adapted to fit a PCB and be manufactured so the design will need to be plastic. As the product may end up being mass produced the design should be kept simple to facilitate potential waterproofing.
Ask for Sample:
schematics and the like.
Software:
- SolidWorks
- Anything else (flexible)

While the solar cell is a good idea, I feel with the dogs/cats movements, the collar will shift daily... and with the weight being at the bottom (under the pets neck area). Therefore, no sun would really get to the solar cell for recharging. Just something to consider or think about. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment Abadri. Not sure what the purpose of the solar is for a device like this one. Should be able to easily source a lipo to do the job and have it charge via USB. By the way I was going for the look of a key dongle. Thought it would give your product a higher perceived value and durability over a colorful plastic enclosure. Good luck with your contest.
This is great, however it looks a lot like a key fob 
i like this direction, however i feel it is maybe a bit plain. Also, would like to see more muted colors like black and white perhaps?
Great entries by all! thank you!
- Adam. Do you intend to add all necessary design files? Those will be required.For All: we intend to prototype, so the ability to make this part in 2 seperate pieces to place a PCB inside is important. Thanks!
Hi All,
The project has now been prepaid!
Thanks for the submissions.

Thanks for the submissions.
Sorry i just entered another design, before I read your comment, thanks for the feedback i will take it onboard !
Thank you Jack for your entry! We would prefer one solid color if possible, and with a perhaps less traditional look. Good first entry!

Wheel Rocker
I want a design for a device that will rotate a wheel about 10 inches in outer diameter about 1 complete rotation back and forth. I prefer for the device to sit on the floor and rotate the wheel back and forth instead of attaching to the carriage frame since I don’t have any carriage specs and they may vary depending on which model is being used The device could attach to the wheel itself, rim or tire. It should be adjustable though to fit on a few different size wheels. It should be designed to be able to adjust to a wheel from 7 - 10 inches.
2D Image Conversion to 3D Model
US Patent 6467455 online https://www.freepatentsonline.com/6467455.pdf and I want to create a 3D Model of it to aid in determining.
Is this something that you could model?
Model submissions should model this in Solidworks or a *.step file that transfers into solidworks.
Starting with the engine block.

17 foot Wood Drift Boat
This contest will be for the most accurate CONSTRUCTION PLANS for a WOODEN DRIFT BOAT HULL. Key features include:
5 piece hull. 5 pieces will be created separately on a table, covered in fiberglass and Kevlar, then stitched and glued together to create the shape of the hull.
1. The Bottom. (1) 3/4" Plascore (honeycomb poly material) measuring approximately 14'6" long X 60" wide. The basic shape of the bottom of this hull will be similar to a "football". However, I would like at least 4 foot STRAIGHT sections running down both sides of the hull (4 foot straight chines). This will aid in the handling of the drift boat. The 14'6" length will be lifted at both the bow and stern ends approximately 5" (rocker). Both the bow and the stern will be identical from one another, so you will only need to draw half of the boat, copy, rotate and attach to finish the plans.
2. The sides. (2) 9mm Okume plywood sides that will measure approximately 18-19 feet long and will range in height from +/-16" to 22" tall. The goal will be to create curved side panels 22" tall in the center of the boat where the oar locks will be attached for a section of at least 1 foot on either side of center. 16-18 inch middle sections for ease of entry into the boat that will gradually slope to meet, and 16" sections at the bow and stern. This should include the end angles where the sides will meet the bottom of the hull, and the bow and stern sections. Obviously all up for adjustment to get the overall shape of the hull to look correct anf for ease of construction.
3. The Bow and stern. This is the difficult part of the boat and the real reason for my contest. To create (2) conical or half-cylinder shapes from 3mm pieces of Okume Plywood that will be bent and laminated 3 times to match the side thickness. This will include the dimensions and angles for attaching that curved transom to the sides and the bottom of the Plascore panels to create an appropriate fit. 3mm Okume can be bent into about an 18" circle, so curves with a radius down to about 8" are possible depending on the grain.
I have included a photo of a similar boat hull that has already been built per my design. However, this was done entirely by trial and error and cannot be duplicated. It is also smaller than the specifications in these plans. My goal is to end up with a set of plans that would allow this hull shape to be recreated.
NOTE: The interior layout of the boat will be modeled in the future. Additional design work may be possible for the winner of this contest. For that reason, please include a centerline on both axis to use a measuring point for interior layout.
