Description:
Purpose is to make this an injection molded plastic item. Looking to get some CAD designs that include the core structures, which are: (a) precise top loop [that holds a slightly stretched plastic garbage bag], loop cutout is preferred, but optional if necessary. Loop Circumference: 28.5 inches. Can be irregular shape.; (b) bottom holder to support bag contents and hold roll of bags with some dispensing assistance to keep roll in center; and (c) a vertical component to maintain the precise distance from top and bottom components. Height 15.25 Inches; (d) two side hooks that hold a shopping bag in lieu of fitted bag.- The top and bottom can have individual mounting via 3-4 mm screws.
- The unit would be best as a 2-3 piece construction for smaller shipping /retail box.
- item must support appx 15 lbs distributed through top ring and bottom support.
- reference www.extrufix.com for info and watch installation video for product views.
- My sketches of a potential design are attached: "Sketch_1" and "Sketch_2". This is provided as an example only.
- current, actual retail product designs attached: 2 wire plans and 1 retail package artwork. Other current product images and drawings are attached.
Note: our company is interested in selling garbage bags that fit the rack. This is the critical mission. The shopping bag hooks are a minor feature that we include for a minority of our users.
Wants:
Design must be for injection molded plastic item. Most likely Polystyrene, a strong, durable plastic.Un-assembled parts should fit into retail box with a cubic space appx 207mmx302mmx180mm.
Don't Wants:
a wire or wire type design.

Hey CH, any chance of extending the deadline. I'm working on my design but I don't think my work will get finished by the deadline. If it's possible for you then I would like to request for a deadline extension. Thanks.
Hi Jon,
Following up to see if you are in process of selecting winners or looking for any changes in the current designs?

Hi, The Roll of bags is a 6 inch long cylinder with 2.25 inch diameter. Thanks.
Hi Jon
Do you have a size for the roll of bags - length, diameter as supplied which would be the maximum the unit needs to accommodate?

Design Challenge: Baby Shower Head ("Leaf Head")
Brand: Shnuggle — a UK baby products brand. Please review www.shnuggle.com to understand our visual style: soft, rounded, calming, premium-but-simple. Your design must feel like it belongs in this brand family.
* Project Overview *
This part is the shower head for a baby bath product. It attaches to a flexible silicone hose and is held by an adult to rinse water gently over a baby's head and hair. It must look like a leaf, feel soft and safe in the hand, and produce a gentle, even flow of water suitable for a baby.
* Design Requirements *
Shape: The outer form must clearly look like a leaf.
Material (outer surface): The part the user touches, and the part that touches the baby, must be silicone (or TPR).
Flow rate: Low and gentle. This is for pouring water softly over a baby's head and hair, not a strong shower spray.
Water outlets: The underside (the face that points down toward the baby's head) must have multiple small holes for water to flow out.
Hole design: You choose the size, shape, pattern and number of holes. Your choice must:
Produce a gentle, even flow across the whole face (not just in the middle)
Massage bumps: Include small form scalp massage bumps, either as part of the holes or between the holes.
Be easy to manufacture
Hose connection: The stem must have a simple, removable, connection for the silicone hose with 10mm outer diameter (OD) / Ø6mm ID.
Internal water path: Show how water travels from the hose connection, through the stem, and out through the holes. The internal shape must direct water evenly to all the holes, not just the nearest ones.
Construction method: Propose ONE of the following three options, and explain why you chose it:
Option A: Fully silicone (one material, one part)
Option B: Rigid plastic (PP) inner structure, with a silicone outer cover
Option C: Rigid plastic (PP) inner structure, with TPR (soft rubber-like plastic) overmoulded onto it
Manufacturing: The design must be realistic to mould and produce at scale (injection moulding and/or silicone moulding). This is the most important requirement. A design that looks good but cannot be manufactured correctly will not be selected.
Safety: No sharp edges or small detachable parts. This product is used near a baby's face.
** What to Submit **
Please provide:
3D concept visuals of the leaf head (a few angles, including the top/leaf side and the underside with the holes)
An exploded view of the parts that you propose, in draft format (don't worry abour drafts, assembly means, etc at this stage)
A simple cross-section sketch or drawing showing the internal water path, from the hose connection to the holes
Your chosen construction method (Option A, B, or C above) with one or two sentences explaining why
Hole pattern detail — a close-up or zoomed view of your hole design on the underside
You do not need finished engineering CAD, draft angles, or a full bill of materials at this stage. We want to see your design thinking and your manufacturing judgement.
Resin Viking/Norse Mythology Themed Mug
We are looking to make Viking/Norse Mythology-themed resin mug.
Outside is designed resin, and inside is stainless steel insert.
Mug volume/capacity is: 600-650ml
Dimensions:
- Width including handle approx.: 15.5cm
- Height approx: 14cm - 15cm
3D file format requirements: .stp
We will attach a few examples.
3D Printer Design
We are an early stage 3D printing startup looking for a concept to use in our pitch deck. There will likely be continued work opportunities with the winner.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Style:
Sleek and minimalistic. No screen, just a power button. You can go for an ultra-modern design (apple) or a retro-futuristic 50's design (Jetson's TV show). Use the color scheme in the attached company logo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dimensions:
**Print area must be 300mm wide by 200mm deep by 200 mm tall.
**There needs to be an extra .02 cubic meters of room for electronics and
other components either beneath the print area or behind it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Other:
**The front, right, and left sides should be all or mostly gray acrylic glass. Everything else should be solid. (leave the top 70mm solid to hide the extruder and motors)
**Modeling motors and extruder is not necessary!
**The print bed must move up and down so it needs one screw and two guiding rods behind it. (see attached picture)
**Include the company logo somewhere on the printer.
