Cuff Clips is a simple magnet based device designed to help quickly and temporarily shorten pant leg lengths, hold a sleeve in a nice cuff, and can double as simple collar stays. At this point we have the magnet portion of the device sourced, colored, engraved, and ready to go. The current magnet size is 12.7mm in diameter X ~ 1.59mm Thick. However... we need help with developing a unique carrying case. *Note: there are 20 magnets (or ten pairs) to a case! This carrying case should: 1) Be able to securely store the magnets in the case without scratching them 2) Be able to help separate the magnets when taking them out of the case and applying them to one's clothing (*Bonus: if you can also keep the magnets separate while putting them back in the case.) 3) Be easily operated 4) Be structurally sound/Durable - (these are powerful magnets) yet preferably made from plastics 5) Be small enough to fit into a pocket or small purse 6) Be designed for easy/cheap manufacturing So far my team has made a few designs, the current design involved stacking the magnets in pairs in separate trays that made up a small vertebrae. That being said, the magnets were powerful and still hard to separate even in pairs...there is no need to follow this design path. An image of this version is attached for reference (note: only 4 trays are shown but it shows the concept) Another design - one I would be interested in seeing improved, involved a 2-part case: A tube; and then a retractable spine that slides inside the tube. On the spine are individual snaps/holders/grabbers/etc. that can hold each magnet a separate distance from each other. The spine could be retracted either by finger pull or thumb push (any other means would also be cool to see). Would be great seeing what you all can come up with.

I'm seeking a CAD designer/firm for a skin care brush. Below are it's requirements: 1. a two-three piece mold in which the parts join (snap, insert, interlock, etc). 2. top portion part is a more flexible durometer and the bottom portion/handle part is a firm plastic durometer. 3. a clean, minimalist design (visual references can be provided) - brush body must conform to body areas shapes: legs, armpits, bikini zone, under neck/chin - brush handle must be ergonomic to right/left handed 4. additional info as well as pencil & vector sketches can be provided for later stages 5. No need to design the brush bristles (already have these) so main focus is on body and how the two durometers are joined 6. I will need at least (3) three designed options to pick from and prototype.

We are looking to add another product to our successful camalapse 4 product offering. The camalapse mini will operate using a similar internal mechanical/spring wound timer that is in the regular camalapse 4 (camalapse.com) but it will not have a female tripod mount on the bottom and instead of a male 1/4 20" male post on the top, it will need a feature/mechanism to hold a smartphone securely in place. The overall concept of this device is to operate exactly like the camalapse, but to be as small as a form factor as possible (fit safely into a small purse or large cargo pocket) as the target market is entirely focused on smartphones. At a minimum, the smartphone holder needs to hold the smartphone with a variety of thicknesses (with and without cases) in landscape mode at a 90 degree angle from the horizontal top surface of the camalapse mini. Bonus if the smartphone holder can also achieve a 45 degree angle. Big bonus if the smartphone holder is able to hold the smartphone at any angle but the mechanism to do so is simple and easy to manufacture. We will need to build a complete prototype, and will probably use shapeways to print all plastic parts so we will need files from the winner that can be used for 3D printing (during contest) and later for injection molds (after prototypes are successful). If metal parts are needed for concept, please advise where they can be purchased in small quantity online with links. The design does not need to mimic the octagonal shape of the camalapse 4, but some element of design carry over would be nice as this will be an additional product that we will want to leverage the success of the camalapse 4. We say this because the octagonal shape creates a larger form factor which we are trying to avoid. Camalapse 4 website http://www.camalapse.com We have included many pictures of the timer mechanism which the camalapse mini needs to be built around. We have added dimensions as best that we could. Please ask if you need more. Individual questions will be answered both individually and for the group.

We are looking for a professional spec sheet/drawing of a children's equestrian barrel racing saddle with very unique features! The purpose of this drawing will be to help provide specs to a supplier so we can have a first prototype. First, the saddle will be using a standard kids saddle tree but will neoprene instead of leather with a cordura wrap over the neoprene for weatherproofing and durability (100 D cordura)! This exists today, but in adult sizes. Good examples of youth sizes we will need are here (good for dimensional references: http://www.saddleonline.com/blogs/content/how-fit-saddle-child-or-youth) I'd like to start with 12" and 14" seat sizes. I would like this to weigh no more than 12 lbs. This is the exact saddle I want but with the features below and in children size seats: brazilliansaddle.com The first unique feature will be a cinch strap that is "ratcheting" versus traditional leather that is pulled through and tightened with holes. This will make it easy for a child to tighten. The ratchet can be aluminum or steel but must have a padding that velcro over so it doesn't scrape the leg of the rider or the horses side. It should be as thin in profile as integrally possible. An example of the ratchet style I like is here: http://www.hamptonproducts.com/product/details/07507?v=c. The hooks should lay flat however, and there should be holes on the slack so someone can essential put the one end of the cinch in and tighten the rest of the way with the ratchet. The second feature is a fold up "step" that will be on the left side of the saddle if a rider is sitting on it and behind the stirrup. The "step" can be nylon with a plastic bar for the bottom of the foot. It must be able to be coiled up and snapped up onto the saddle when not in use. The third feature is a gel seat that will provide added comfort for the rider. The third feature are storage on the back and sides of the saddle (a built on saddle pack) that can hold a water bottle and phone. It would be awesome to show this in a cactus pattern just to get the idea across that we want something fun and do various patterns. See attachments.

Hi, I am looking for some design ideas for a money storage bank bin for kids. It's a different twist to the traditional piggy banks. I will eventually need to create a 3D CAD of this so that I can create a prototype for it. It will need to have 3 bins designated with 1) Save 2) Spend 3) Share. I envision the approx size of the container to be 5x7x2, clear, that opens up with an attached lid, and on the outside, will be a ledger where it will be used to track withdrawls and deposits. These 3 containers will then need to be placed into a larger single container. Easy for kids to open, close and carry.
