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.

CAD Design
I need a 3d design.
Think of a signboard like this:

And now we need it smaller and more fashionable. So that someone can hold it like this:

The pole should be one that can be expanded with the push of a button. The pole will go up to a max of 12 feet. And when no expanded it will be 6 feet.
The pole should have 3 buttons on it. 1 button will increase the height of the pole, the 2nd button will decrease the height of the pole. And the 3rd button should lower a stand so that the user can set the sign board down and not have to hold it.
Look at this youtube video:

You see how the button makes the umbrella open and then close. I want the same the thing. if the person click the button then pole will extend and if they click it again it will go back down
Oh also can you make it look kinda futuristic. Do you know what a lightsaber is?
Looks like this:

So like on the outside of the pole. I want the plastic with the light inside. So it glows. So that it will be strong on the inside, and then on the outside there will be a glowing light to make it look cool
On top of the signboard will be a cheap lcd screen. This screen will display text or an image on it.
The pole shouldn't be too heavy but it should be strong enough to securely hold the lcd screen on top. The wires should run inside the pole and nothing should be shown outside.
I am attaching an image of something really basic but similar to what I am looking for.
