Description:
We’re building a premium wellness device and need a 3D-printable enclosure for a 4-foot vertical rail system, where a phone camera moves up and down to capture multiple images. The design should feel sleek, intentional, and reliable, concealing the phone camera and mechanics while integrating forward-facing clinical-quality lighting for photography. It must project trust and discretion in spa or wellness environments where users may be partially undressed.

The design language should feel closer to something designed by Apple — premium, simple, and intentional — rather than a medical device you’d see in a hospital.

The enclosure must accommodate the vertical rail and allow free travel of the phone camera carriage. The rail and mechanics should remain hidden from users, whether fully enclosed or integrated into a back-mounted channel. The phone camera must never be visible — only a seamless optical glass surface should be seen, allowing undistorted imaging while hiding the phone and lens completely.

The design must allow serviceability: the front panel should be removable (via magnets or hidden fasteners) for access to the phone camera, rail, lighting, and optical glass. Power must support 6–8 hours of continuous operation without visible cables, either through a concealed outlet pass-through at the base or housing for a charging bank.

To simplify fabrication, the design can assume a wood or MDF back plate for structure. This back plate must be wall-mountable (for example, with screw-through points) and serve as the anchor for the rail system. The 3D-printed shell then provides the external form, integrates the optical glass and lighting, and fits cleanly over the back plate with easy access.

The enclosure should also include passive ventilation (recessed vents or hidden openings) to prevent overheating, without compromising aesthetics or allowing users to see internal components.

This design will be used to produce a 3D-printed MVP prototype. Deliverables must include precise dimensions for the enclosure, ensuring it can be fabricated and assembled without guesswork.
Wants:
- Sleek, intentional, premium appearance (Apple-like, not clinical)
- Effective concealment of the phone camera and lens behind optical glass
- Support for a 4-foot vertical rail system with free carriage travel
- Integration of forward-facing clinical-quality lighting for imaging
- Power strategy that supports continuous operation without exposed cables
- Passive ventilation to manage heat without visible fans
- Serviceability and ease of access (removable front panel, clear internal access)
- Realistic approach for 3D printing and assembly
- Clean integration between wall-mountable back plate and printable shell
- Delivery of precise, fabrication-ready dimensions
Don't Wants:
- Pure renders without usable CAD
- Designs that ignore the 4-foot vertical rail requirement
- Cold, clinical devices that feel like hospital equipment
- Overly decorative lighting
- Freestanding towers without wall-mount integration
- Exposed vents or openings that reveal internals
Ask for Sample:
Please share examples of past enclosures, housings, or prototypes that have been 3D printed or fabricated.

Hi Danielscher,
I’d appreciate it if you could share your feedback on the submitted designs. Please let me know whether I’m on the right track or if any modifications are needed.
Thanks!

Design Inspiration (for reference only)
- Canfield IntelliStudio (https://www.canfieldsci.com/imaging-systems/intellistudio/): Example of an enclosed camera system. We do not want a copy or something that feels medical, but it illustrates how enclosures can hide hardware.

- AMP Fitness Pillar Design (https://ampfit.com/): Shows a sleek, premium pillar aesthetic more aligned with wellness and lifestyle.

These are references only. The final design should be original, functional, and adapted to our needs. We are also open to hybrid solutions that rethink lighting and enclosure integration, as long as image quality remains.

Q&A Responses
1. Overall dimensions of the enclosure
Rail is 2.0 m tall. If the entire rail is enclosed, design should allow for the full travel. If only the phone/camera is enclosed (like Canfield IntelliStudio), total enclosure height can be shorter. The footprint must not exceed 400 × 400 mm, with a strong preference for minimizing footprint wherever possible.

2. Wall thickness of 3D-printed housing
Designer to recommend based on strength and printability. Typical range: 3–5 mm.

3. Lighting type and placement
Flexible: may be vertical LED strips, ring-light equivalent, box lighting, or hybrid concepts (e.g., lighting anchored at the base or foundation with the camera moving independently). Lighting must deliver clinical-grade, even illumination at ~1 m subject distance, with no shadows or hotspots.

4. Access mechanism for front panel
Preferred: magnetic panel for seamless look. Hidden hinges or fasteners acceptable if simple and clean.

5. Rail and carriage specifications
Rail is a V-Slot 20×40 mm aluminum extrusion, 2.0 m tall, with a gantry plate (87×88×3 mm) carrying an iPhone 16 Pro in portrait orientation.
- If the full rail is enclosed, the enclosure must allow clear travel across the full height.
- If only the phone/gantry is enclosed, design can focus on that section while keeping mechanics hidden from the user.
- In both cases, allow adequate clearance/buffer around the gantry plate to ensure smooth, wobble-free travel.

6. Optical glass or camera window
Use optical-grade smoked, two-way mirror, or neutral-density acrylic. The phone (portrait orientation) must be completely hidden, but image quality cannot be degraded. Designers may propose:
- A fixed vertical strip spanning the camera’s travel, or
- A smaller optical window or lens cover that moves with the gantry plate.
In all cases, the camera and lens must remain invisible to the user, with the window integrated seamlessly into the design.

7. Power strategy
Two options:
1. Concealed outlet pass-through (cable exits bottom/back).
2. Internal battery bank housed in base (can also serve as ballast). Must support 6–8 hrs of operation.

8. Ventilation details
Passive cooling only. Use hidden recessed vents on the back plate or base. No fans.

Hello
Could you please clarify the following details so that I can prepare a proper design and provide you with renders or CAD files:

1. Overall dimensions of the enclosure (width, depth, and height of the shell).


2. Wall thickness of the 3D-printed housing you prefer.


3. Lighting type and placement (e.g., linear LED strips, ring light, or other).


4. Access mechanism for the front panel (magnets, hidden fasteners, hinges, etc.).


5. Rail and carriage specifications, including how much clearance is required around the rail.


6. Type of optical glass or opening size needed for the concealed phone camera.


7. Power strategy (internal battery bank, concealed outlet pass-through, etc.).


8. Ventilation details (preferred style of hidden vents or openings).
