Description:
I am a local community member working with a K-8 school principal to develop a custom award for two members of their faculty to be given out each year. The award is called "They Might Be Giants" and it celebrates educators who have been the "shoulders" that younger educators have stood on. Think like a mentor, but more than that. Ultimately the creation from this contest will be 3D Printed and integrated into the final award. Think 6" - 8" high 3D giant. I'm open to ideas, but the attached pictures provides a good references of the giant idea and it supporting people on its shoulders. If you notice the male and female standing on the giant's shoulders in the reference photo you get a sense of them looking into the horizon. Where the Giant has a sense of forward motion. It is the combination of the sense of movement toward the horizon, and the eagerness to look toward the future that I to capture with this 3D element.The working concept for this award is based on an award presented by the Advertising Hall of Fame called "The Golden Ladder" Award (See attached photo). In place of the golden ladder will be the giant element that this contest is looking to produce. The total height from the foot of the giant, to the top of the tallest head of the person standing on the giant's shoulders will be no more than 8" high
Wants:
When evaluating submissions emphasis will be placed on1. Overall feeling - does the image naturally capture the sense of movement and looking forward
2. Proportion - Is the 3D element balanced. Does it look proportionally correct
3. Attraction / captivation - does the image inspire / captivate. It will not be possible, though it will lack fine detail
Don't Wants:
1. The giant to be a particular sex per say. The giant in reality represents either a male or female educator2. The giant to be scary. It should "look the part" so that someone looking at it clearly sees "this is a giant" and gets the message that this is a giant.
3. Abstract symbols. It should be clear by the 3D element what the story is. It should not be abstract and require explaination
Ask for Sample:
Samples are welcome and encouraged. There is no explicit software constraint, but the selected piece of work must be delivered in at least one of the following formats: .stp,. step; .sldprt; .stl; .xt, .x_b; .ipt; .edxml, .catpart; .prt; .sat
Software:
- NONE (See Notes In Sample)

Discussion
Hi what would be the approximate dimensions for the giant?
I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Thank you for trying to do this
Hello,
I am interested and will try my best to get the output.

Dental Tool
Mass produced plastic tool for dental product. My immediate need, however is to have 3-D prints made for evaluation. I'd also like to use the same file for manufacturing. Plan of tool, logo file, detail of head and pic of possible diamond-pattern knurling grip attached.
Bespoke 3D printed Sunglasses
We are ready to make Bespoke consumer level 3D printed sunglasses a reality. The company has a Lens Kit that these frames will be designed specifically for so attention to detail is key. The STL files for with the lens dimensions are attached. We have more designs to come so the chosen designer will have ongoing work.

Stack of Schnauzer puppies
I need a 3D drawing of a stack of schnauzer puppies (in diapers) that are placed on top of one another (alternating back and front). I intend to 3D print this out and it's meant as a Christmas present.
Ultrasound brain helmet
Hello,
I work in a research lab at the University of Utah. We need to make a frame that can hold a patient's head in place while we image their brain with custom ultrasound transducers.
We have designed the transducers and general shape of the brain helmet. We are seeking solutions to 1) mechanically holding the head in place and 2) making the frame as aesthetically pleasing as possible. All mechanisms for adjustment (i.e. extention/retraction) should be complete in the design i.e. functional.
I attached the solidworks files and a very quick (and ugly) sketch of the general concept. This is just the first idea so please take this as a jumping-off point and feel free to be creative!
Our one requirement is that one of the head fixation parts be a sliding piece over the middle of the head that fixes to the bride of the patient's nose (called the nasion).
Russian Doll Maze Variant
Hello Designers!
I am looking for a variant of the "Russian Doll Maze Puzzle" on Thingiverse. Here's a little bit about the project:
I run a small home business in Utah that provides 3D printing services for the local area. Lately, we've been donating our extra machine time to making these puzzles for charity (Anti-boredom bags for children in hospital waiting rooms.) They've been a massive hit among the kids, however we've been hearing that the locking mechanism is 'unsnapping' over time while the puzzle is assembled, making them inoperable. We'd like to remedy that for the future!
A few required design change specifications:
1. Cylindrical instead of Octagonal
2. The maze "Locking" mechanism needs a fix. Currently, it snaps "Up" into position, however the clicking mechanism is small and wears down, resulting in older puzzles 'locking' inside because they've come undone. We're looking for innovative solutions to solve this issue (potentially rotating sideways at the end, instead of up, to add another safety mechanic)
3. Thick bottom and outer wall for embossing names, if chosen. Needs to be strong enough for children to not break with regular usage.
4. Difficulty of maze appropriate to 8 and up age levels.
Dimensions overall approximately 4" height, 2 1/2" round. 1/8" to 5/16" inner wall construction (solid).
