Greetings,
I attached the views and the commercial pictures you requested.
Extra Feature:
Easy Open-Close Mechanism with no other parts needed.
The parts are made on NX Siemens software but can be modified/transferred to Solidworks.
I would appreciate it if you could give me a decent feedback.
Thank you in advance.

While designing this product, I had in mind the product integration in the house, and office environment so that the user feels comfortable, secure and happy to see the device everywhere.
I also fought in consideration how easy the device should be installed.
The design integrated most of the design requirement and the form factor. It can be 3D printed for prototyping. The design tends to look like security guidance for infrastructure.

Design Submission 2
While designing this product, I had in mind the product integration in the house, and office environment so that the user feels comfortable, secure and happy to see the device everywhere.
The design integrated most of the design requirement and the form factor. It can be 3D printed for prototyping. The design tends to look like security guidance for infrastructure.
On the side of the main enclosure box, we have holes that allow air to circulate through.
It is easy to remove the cover, I have included a snap fit on the main box such that the user/technician can remove the cover without any difficulty.
Also I have done a representation of the PCB board to represent the circuit inside the board suh that everything fits well inside the box.

Hello,
This is my final design.I have used cloud design light in this design.Hope you will like it.
I learned that STL files are not so help, so I have attached STEP files for this design and some renders.I have also attached STEP files for the previous designs #29 #28 #27, sorry for the inconvenience.
Thankyou

This contest start 9/24. It was a 9 day contest. It was then extended by the buyer 3 days because the buyer said that "several designers" asked for an extension, but only one designer submitted an entry in that 3 day extension. It ended Oct. 6th, but yet the contest says it ended Oct 16. The buyer is beyond the CadCrowd limits to select a winner, which mean CadCrowd should have selected a winner by now. What's going on ?
Contest extended but still no option to upload models?
There were a few designers that reached out through private message that were having trouble uploading designs at the las minute. I extended the contest just to give them a chance to submit, we we will start the process of selecting the winner asap so we do not delay the prize. Thank you all for your great designs, it is going to be hard to choose a winner. If you have any last minute please feel free to submit as well. Sorry for the extension, this will be the only one.
Uploading my files, Hope I am on time!!
@galaxyrobotics I will add a logo to the attachments.

hello, can I know objective of this device and working as it has 5 sensors .
Hello, Just one more question:
Is there any logo/branding that you want us to add to the design?
Thanks!

@Anmol Raut - Answers below:
1. We would like 1 status light feature that is visible to the people in the space
2. Let me see what I can find and I will post as attachment
3. The link you sent was for a new work box (new construction), unit must fit in both new work and old work (https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-boxes-covers/electrical-boxes/carlon-reg-3-gang-55-cu-in-pvc-electrical-switch-outlet-box/b355r/p-1444444964875.htm)

Hello Boxborough ,I have some questions regarding the design
1.How many sensor status light are required ,one light for each sensor? ie total 5 light or a single status light is enough?
2.Can you be more specific with the I/O unit ,is there a reference image to understand it?
3.Can I use the following design for 3-Gang electric box reference https://www.menards.com/main/electrical/electrical-boxes-covers/electrical-boxes/carlon-reg-3-gang-44-cu-in-pvc-electrical-switch-outlet-box/b344ab/p-1444444961827.htm

@Insan both should be on, as long as it can be imported into solid works as a 3D model.
Hi, is AutoCAD or STEP file ok?
@Harry S. - My apologies, The sizing on page 3 was correct, I updated the attament as v2, depth is 0.8"
@RohitT - The material will be plastic
@riom - Solidworks 2019 is ok
@ivani - Solidworks 2018 is ok
@RohitT - The material will be plastic
@riom - Solidworks 2019 is ok
@ivani - Solidworks 2018 is ok
@galaxyRobotics Other softwares ok, if it can port to solidworks.
Looks like the I/O board size incorrect, How can it fit in 2" deep wall box?
Is the material of this box made of plastic?
Hello , is Solidworks 2019 ok ?
Is Solid Works 2018 ok?
For the software, is it okay if we use one other than SolidWorks?
Thanks!
@GalaxyRobotics
Thanks!

Door and Window Security sensor
This is a solar powered door and window sensor, it has very specific PCB and solar cell sizing (see attached files).
The sensor itself will need concealed mounting screws and a flat back so it can be attached also using double stick tape.
It will also need a small magnet in a plastic housing (with a way to mount the magnet) This will mount to the door or window and will trigger the contact when opened or closed.
white plastic should be used for the case, this will be used in a separate application where it may be mounted on a wall without a magnet (different sensor inside) and white is needed for that application. you can use a very slightly frosted lens over the solar cell, but it can also be clear to show the glass from the solar cell. think iphone design or sleek modern looks, it's ok to consume the entire front with solar cell, or to add some space that is not solar cell.
the winner(s) shall provide final tooling drawings in an editable format to our team.
Ground Hole Maker
- Farm implement
- Device to be pulled behind a farm tractor, or hooked up to the 3-point arms of the tractor.
- Desired speed is 3-5 MPH.
- Make a 3" diameter hole, 18" deep in the ground every 6". (holes to be inline)
- Will need to have available space for a fluid tank to be mounted above the implement.
- Will need to be able to tow a trailer behind the unit.
Elecyr Hybrid Energy Storage System
Our products connect directly to solar panels or the grid and store energy to provide power at a later time. They can be interconnected to form a microgrid and share the power collected among multiple systems. Our current product starts at 15kW, weighs about 700lbs and can be expanded to a megawatt. We are developing a family of lower end systems starting at 2500 watts and weighing less than 100 lbs. We're looking for a consistent, modern, clean and attractive look that will bridge the range of products and be sufficiently visually striking to help with our entire company identity. We're looking for a clean functional design that's very simple. Think iPhone and Cuisinart. We also would like to minimize tooling costs and keep the cost of the packaging as low as possible. We have a mechanical design team so we're primarily looking for a conceptual design look rather than a detailed package. I've attached a couple images of our existing power stack and a possible design for the 2.5kW 100 lb unit. 605×330×445 mm (LWH). We are also looking to do a scaled up unit at 5kW that's also portable and a more fixed unit at 8kW that is more like the large system we have now. I've attached a sketch of how that one will assemble internally. Again, we're looking for someone to bring a consistent, recognizable and unique look to the product line while staying very simple and clean.
