Ice Sphere Storage Tray

The winner will be posted as soon as I know, I am finishing getting all the designs together and they will be passed around internally where a vote will take place and the winner will be determined. This may take several days but goal is to have this done this week.

Thanks to everyone who submitted a design!

Hi jason
Who is the winner of your contest.

Colour scheme depends on who is going to see these tray. Customer or consumers. You should be more clear about such things. Do you want it to be manufacturing ready and If you do what's the quantity? What is your budget? Who is going to use these tray? As my background is mechanical, I focus on manufacturing centered design so selection of each design element is crucial and depends on availability of manufacturing techniques you have.

For those wanting more feedback, we value highly value a release feature that has a nice aesthetic flow into the top piece. These parts do NOT need to be extremely minimalist, sometimes the engineering approach is to use a constant wall thickness to save material/cost. This gives a predictable design, feel free to get creative and if you use extra material that is fine as long as there is a functional/aesthetic benefit.

Also any renderings that use color should use the color scheme from the main unit, and any design input from the main unit that can be carried over would be a bonus.

Thanks!

Jason

Sirchulle, Please mind your language....................we all are designers, please keep the cadcrowd clean and healthy

Sirchulle my understanding comes from the people who run the contest CadCrowd.com

Leave the comments section...

Sirchulle, I don't think call your competitors cunt will help anyone... If you want to not participate it's your choice. If you think it dishonest, clearly explain what is about.

Sirchulle, Thanks for participating! First contest I have ran so if I am not doing it as usual my apologies. As I understand the process winners are selected after the contest ends (up to 14 days after ending) I have been giving feedback when possible, including to you.

Thanks for your submissions!

We cant see image in your comment badly. Maybe you could give feedback on each submission you like. So it will keep blind system for the contest ?

Hi Jason... As this is a blind project, nobody can see each other's image.

There are some of the entries we really like, in no particular order.

Can everyone see the images ok? it deleted my numbers and tried to insert images and on my machine is just text.

interesting holder idea but will probably be to many parts, no release feature except swivel mechanism which may be complicated.
Like the knob on top just less of the faceted diamond shapes and bottom needs to be improved, interlocking design is neat.
All of Mecanikads release features are pretty good, seem to have a good flow while maintaining a release feature that seems practical.
& Seems to follow our design styling and color scheme, also having a locking lid might be good for awkward storage space in freezer. Ring on top looks ergonomic.
holding a release feature are maybe a little too pronounced but it looks like it would hold and release the Ice Sphere effectively.
The flow and aesthetics are great, color scheme and eagle on top need to be improved.

Hi Jason, Could you rate the submission as you tell in your brief to allow design improvement and make sure designers goes in the right direction please ?
Thanks in advance,

Yes the whole idea is to be creative! Please see the description for what is necessary, mainly 60mm diameter and release feature built into the mold.

Thanks!

Jason

Hi Jason. You could have more entries by giving us some feedback for the current designs.

Hi, do we have to make it exactly identical? is it any room for creativity?

Thank you very much for details, will put all efforts to bring up innovative design solutions, Thank you! :)

They intent is to have a release method built into the silicone rubber piece, so when the user presses/squeeze's the Ice Sphere will then come out of the top portion. Ice tongs maybe be included by us but should not be necessary for this product.

Thanks!

Jason

Hi, Jason,
Have only 1 doubt, it will be helpful, if you if you advise on this, Thank you! :)
from your 4th point in your description "we would like to keep the release feature on the top portion (method for pressing out the ice sphere with no contact necessary)"
do you mean to have some vacuum lock like rubber element??, Or you just need a gripping surface for fingers to hold top portion??, will you use ice cube tongs??

can i in!?:D or u have ready the winners in mind!?:)
