Self-Balancing Staff: Weighted Walking Stick Stays Upright Blind

Greetings. As a commercial photographer I was getting sick of this DIY Photo Booth market. So I've spent the past 2 years prototyping different products to combine to make a reliable product to take to market. While doing this we built a company that would let our products be tested in the real world. This is my first time posting for CADCrowd so we will be as detailed as possible, if you need any more info please leave a public message or send me a private message. What we are looking for: We want to build a product that is innovative, stylish, light weight, collapsable yet durable. We are sick of seeing Boxes. We want a unit that is free standing and curtain-less. I would love a stainless steel or aluminum face, but are open to other ideas. We don't want the end product to break the bank when it comes to manufacturing so would like materials to be widely available. Height - We would like the unit to be at its tallest 70" would like it to have removable sections so hight could vary. Free standing Collapsable/mobile - END GOAL would love for the entire unit to break down in to ONE 1650 Pelican Case. Simply assembly - would like this process to go quick, maybe pins/magnets/dovetails maybe power integration from base to components. Durable - This unit will be on the go, seeing 50-60 party's a year, thats 10,000 - 50,000 potentially drunk people a year and would love to get at least 5 years from it. Stream line - think of apples clean cut designs, would love for it to feel simple, not threatening. Products: Specs Available online or upon request. HITI 510L Printer - needs side access for paper and ink, can only print on a angle of up to 30 degrees, would love for paper to come out on the front under/lower then the screen. the printer can be removable or bolted to unit. (consider break down) Windows surface tablet - needs to be accessible for touch screen, needs to be mounted flush or minimal clearance for clean design. needs access to power and usb ports from the back. Camera - standard DSLR camera. would like to have a 77mm UV filter mounted for the camera to touch up against. a dovetail plate would be great to let the camera move back and forth for different lens (up to 8" of slide) Lights - would like to place LED's and a flash tube on either side of the camera so we will need holes and diffusion plexi/plastic for this as well. we will most lily be making our own boards to mount so there aren't any specs on this yet. Adjustable angle mount - would like it if the tablet/camera/light were mounted together with a potential of up to 20 degree horizontal tilt. (consider whats behind the faceplate, don't want gaps where fingers can get caught. I hope this sums up needs and wants. I will include a quick sketch of our ideas to maybe fuel your inspiration.

Design a field stand for our Control Panel & Battery Box. We field-deploy a portable equipment assembly at temporary pumping and water-monitoring sites (bypass pumping, lift stations, streambank pump setups, etc.). Each site needs a control cabinet, a battery box, and a cell/antenna mast set up quickly, then broken down and moved to the next site. We're looking for a new stand or frame to secure and hold this equipment in place at the site — this is NOT a carrying case or transport container for the equipment. The stand does still need to break down into portable pieces for transport between sites, and no single piece of it can weigh more than 50 lbs, but once assembled on site it needs to robustly and securely hold everything in place. Our current solution isn't working, and we want fresh design concepts from this challenge. Bonus points if your design incorporates wheels so it can be hand-trucked across terrain. The core pieces of equipment the stand needs to secure in place are: • A battery box — a Pelican 1630NF Protector Transport Case (see dimensions and reference photos below). It's heavy, so it currently doubles as ballast and sits low in the assembly to help anchor the center of gravity. • An LCU controller cabinet — a Saginaw Control & Engineering (SCE) SCE-2424PC polycarbonate enclosure (see dimensions and reference photos below). • A toolbox that houses a Starlink modem and electrical plugs. Incorporating this third box into the stand would be nice to have, but it's not required. Two masts also need to be incorporated into the design: the existing cell antenna mast, which carries 2–4 Wilson directional wideband antennas at the top and creates significant sail area (wind load) that the stand needs to resist, and a second mast/pole holder for a Starlink dish. We currently use cinder blocks for supplemental ballast weight, feel free to accommodate their use into the design, if needed. Equipment Dimensions: Battery Box — Pelican 1630NF Protector Transport Case Width 24.25 in, Depth 17.5 in, Length (height) 31.3 in Notes: Heavy — typically used low in the assembly as ballast / low center of gravity. Has an integrated telescoping handle and wheels on the case itself. Controller Cabinet — Saginaw SCE-2424PC Height 25.4 in, Width 26.68 in, Depth 11.41 in Notes: Polycarbonate enclosure; front-facing connectors/glands along one side (see drawing photo). Top and bottom of enclosure have a lip flange with bolt holes that can be used to secure a secondary frame (strut channel, etc) Toolbox — Starlink Modem / Electrical Plugs (nice-to-have) A third plastic box, roughly similar in scale to the battery box, housing a Starlink modem and electrical plugs. Exact dimensions can be provided if a designer wants to incorporate it — treat it as optional for concept purposes. Antenna Masts (two required) Cell antenna mast: vertical pole supporting 2–4 Wilson directional wideband antennas at the top. Exact pole diameter/height varies by site — designers should treat this as a mounting interface (e.g., a pipe clamp, mast collar, or bracket sized to a standard pipe OD) rather than a fixed dimension, and call out their assumed pole size in their submission. Starlink mast: a second, separate mast/pole holder to mount a standard or mini Starlink dish using the Starlink pole mount adapter. Same approach applies — treat as a mounting interface rather than a fixed dimension. Must-Have Requirements • One-person deployable: no single piece/component of the stand may weigh more than 50 lbs, and it must be liftable, positionable, and assembled on site by a single field technician without assistance. (Note: this is a stand that secures the equipment in place at the site — not a case or container that carries the equipment during transport.) • Must securely hold both: – The Pelican 1630NF battery box (24.25″ W x 17.5″ D x 31.3″ L) – The Saginaw SCE-2424PC controller cabinet (25.4″ H x 26.68″ W x 11.41″ D) • Must incorporate mounts/interfaces for two masts — the existing cell antenna mast (carrying 2–4 Wilson directional wideband antennas) and a second, separate mast/pole holder for a Starlink dish — and must remain stable under the combined wind (sail) load of both. • Both the controller cabinet and the battery box must be elevated a minimum of approximately 6 inches off the ground to protect against flooding/standing water — while still keeping the battery box mounted as low as practical on the frame to preserve a low center of gravity and overall stability. • Must be compatible with standard cinder blocks as supplemental ballast at the base (we already have these on hand and can continue using them if the design benefits from added weight/anchoring). • Must break down, fold, or disassemble easily for transport and storage — this is the main failure of our current stand. • Must include a way to organize excess cabling — e.g., S-hooks or similar points to hang coiled extension cord, pump cable, flowmeter cable, valve cable, and other site cabling — rather than leaving it loose on the ground. • Must hold up to outdoor field conditions: rain, mud, sun, and unimproved ground (grass, gravel, streambank, dirt pads). • Must look clean and professional at customer/field sites — this is a customer-facing appearance concern, not just function. Nice-to-Have Features • Tool-free or minimal-tool assembly and breakdown in the field. • Wheels, so the assembled stand can be moved into place with a hand truck/dolly. • Adjustable mast height or tilt-down mast for easier antenna installation/service at height. • Space or mounting to incorporate a third box — a toolbox housing a Starlink modem and electrical plugs — into the assembly (not required). • Compact folded/stored footprint for transport in a truck bed or trailer.

need to develop a self balancing walking stick for old people, need it to be light and durable that wont break easily when you place a person load on it . wont ever fall in the ground. Need to look stylish and simple looking attached a photo as an example of what i need

We want to provide a simple, functional, and unique enclosure to the market at a very reasonable and competitive price (around 100-200$) for our laser engraver below: https://yorahome.com/products/yora-cnc-laser-engraving-machine-6550 Something easy to assemble and universal that anyone with a 2-axis laser engraver (up to 65x50cxm) can afford to buy. We also plan to offer a 1x1m laser engraver. So, it will be nice to be able to offer an extension to the enclosure. We need CAD files in STEP or IGES that we can use for manufacturing. Our brand name YoraHome needs to be visible on the machine. We want to be able to start shipping the first units during Xmas. So, the CAD design needs to be ready before the end of the month of October 2021.
