Whimsy Stick Clasp System

contest time change. i am complete my degine please open 1 day contest. not submit button show

Please have a look at entry Number: Twenty-Six; The product cost is less than $5.00; The design is a single piece of stainless steel coated with a silicon based protective covering while the add-on is of a threaded clasp mechanism to hold the Eyelet at the end of the Handle Rod. There is no knot to tie or untie and can be removed very easily with minimal to very minimal maintenance needed by the Pet Owner.

Thanks for the update, I&;ll pass

As of today winners have been chosen. The winning design is a pre-braided kevlar double ended loupe, with one end attaching to a carabiner/swivel clasp, and the other end zip tied to the plush toy. The contest will run till the end. Other entries will be considered although there has been many entries up to this point and this seams like the best, and most financially viable solution. If you want to submit your idea, you are more than welcome to.

Hi, been going through the comment section and it don&;t feel like a contest anymore. Are you taking entries till the last date ?

Hello all, thank you so much for your entries and ideas. Many were great idea, although just didn&;t fit the guidelines of the proper solution. You efforts are much appreciated. The finalist have all been invited to a group chat. If you didn&;t receive an invite, then I wish you all the best in your journeys. Have a great day!

Yes, I&;m aware of Cad Crowds rules. I have actually messaged their support line to make sure it was okay. To my confusion, they offer a shared workspace and slack or skype is not necessary.

Hello, Sorry I will not join this workspace. By the way it is not allowed from cad crowd to contact out of the platform.

I hope you are familiar with the rules of cad crowd. already once my design was taken and passed on to another designer by the contest owner. that design won first prize. I don&;t want that kind of nonsense anymore.

Hi, i just wanted to inform that i am ok with whatever others decide....But i heard that slack is good for collab and skyp for group calls. This way it will be a free setup. I agree to collaborate.. sooner we provide a good product, the sooner we get paid.. haha.

I would like to join the effort in creating a more innovative and cost effective solution by utilizing a workspace via skype preferred. My vote goes towards SKYPE;

Subject: Collaborative Workspace for Whimsy Stick Clasp System Development

Dear Applicants,

I hope this message finds you well. I want to extend my heartfelt thanks for your innovative contributions and valuable insights into the Whimsy Stick clasp system project. Each of you has brought forth excellent ideas, and I believe that combining these ideas could lead to an even better solution.

To facilitate this, I propose creating a collaborative workspace where we can all communicate and refine the clasp system design together. If you are willing, I will set up a workspace via Slack or Skype where we can share ideas, discuss improvements, and integrate the best aspects of each proposal.

Here’s the plan:

Workspace Setup: I will create a Slack or Skype workspace dedicated to the Whimsy Stick clasp system project.
Collaboration: All participating designers can join the workspace to collaborate, share insights, and discuss potential improvements.
Prize Distribution: The final prize will be divided among the designers who contribute the most to the final, integrated design.
Your collaborative efforts will be crucial in developing a robust and effective clasp system that meets our requirements and exceeds user expectations. I am confident that by working together, we can achieve the best possible outcome.

Please let me know if you are interested in participating in this collaborative effort. If so, indicate your preferred platform (Slack or Skype), and I will set up the workspace accordingly.

Thank you once again for your hard work and creativity. I look forward to the possibility of working closely with all of you.

Best regards,
Chris Moran

A comment to all participants: Thank you all for your hard work and entries. I want to remind everyone that simplicity and cost-effectiveness in production are key aspects to consider. Utilizing parts that are already obtainable on the market is greatly appreciated. Additionally, it&;s important to think about potential problems each different design could create during use and to pre-troubleshoot these issues. Looking forward to seeing more of your creative solutions.

The rope diameter is 2mm

The eyelet is approx. 1/2 cm or .5cm (see attachment image of it next to AA battery for reference)

Hello, could you provide the approximate dimension of the eyelet? I wanna run simulation to check whether or not the material is strong enough to withstand the pulling force of dogs, and I need to know the eyelet dimension so I can adjust my clamping system to be on the same size. Thank you!

Could you give a diameter for the hole in the eyelet?

Response to sherifelsheikh,
The line used is a kevlar kite line that will either be 2mm or 2.5mm

Hello, what is the rope diameter?

Attachment drawing added that should provide more clarity.
