Description:
I need a laser tag blaster design that is sci-fi in style but still functional.All internal parts, switches, PCBs, electronic components etc can be downloaded as STEP files for easier modelling and dimensional accuracy: drive.google.com/drive/folders/1bfi2dgVoZpCPLPTcRuB84q20oasjOhrn
There are various features required:
2 x IR receiver holes (part is TSOP4138.stp) on either side of the front of the blaster to receive shots
2 x IR emitter holes that point straight out from the front of the tagger
Hole 1 is a 25mm OD x 2mm edge thickness lens that can be captured by a 1mm depth inset. Behind this hole for the lens a mount 45mm away (the lens focal length is 45mm) should be made available for the emitter board (Optics Module.step). The centre LED on the emitter board should line up with the centre of the lens.
Hole 2 is a 5mm OD (the size of a standard LED).
The trigger mechanism is possibly the most complex. You must think about the trigger and how it actuates. It's pivot point and the switch it will actuate when the trigger is pressed. A standard mechanical keyboard switch is used internally to receive the trigger pull.
There are 8 RGB LEDs on either side of the tagger (5mm x 5mm x 2mm) spaced 2mm apart from each other. It is important that these dimensions are parametric in case we adjust the spacing or components used. The LEDs are inside the tagger and there should be square holes to place them in so that their light shines outward. No cover is required. They can be assembled such that the LEDs are flush with the outside of the tagger or inset, max inset should be 3mm.
A 50mm OD speaker needs to be mounted internally facing outward with grilles to allow sound.
On the side of the tagger towards the front a reload switch (barrel shaped) should be located (15.7mm OD parametric).
At the top, a standard picatinny rail should exist for rail mounts (like optics / scopes).
Towards the rear another barrel switch (key-based) for power on/off should have a hole (Barrel Switch.step).
Internally we will need space for the various electronics and wiring.
Wants:
A sci-fi looking tagger / blaster that can house the required electronics and be 3d printed and assembled such that the completed device is strong and sturdy, with a well thought out assembly process and ergonomic grip, trigger and general design.All 3d printed parts should have mechanical mating to make them fit together easily where possible. Screws etc are acceptable and should be used around the model, but should be used only when required and not as a substitute for mechanical mating.
I can accept the model in various formats. Shapr3d is preferred but others listed are acceptable if you have a specific tool you prefer. The model should use parametric modelling where appropriate.
Ask for Sample:
If you wish to provide a sample, the basic shape is ok as a starting point so I can see your vision.
Software:
- Shapr3D
- Adobe Fusion 360
- FreeCAD
- OpenSCAD
Additional Information
The tagger should be approx. 35cm to 50cm in length. This means it will need printing in parts.There is also a display in the step files. That also needs mounting to the tagger. It should sit in view towards the rear of the tagger. It can be tilted if required but should be generally visible when holding the tagger and aiming.
I'm looking for something futuristic, similar in size and shape to this: www.aliexpress.com/item/1005011917978356.html
No AI generated slop please. If I wanted AI generated I'd use it myself.

Discussion
Checking in to see if you have had a chance to review the submissions and CAD files for the blaster assembly. Any updates or feedback on the designs would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time
I also noticed the solenoid driver, where would the solenoid sit, and can a step file or part number be provided?
Battery, Any preferred position for motherboard/daughterboard placement, Printer size limitations?
Fusion is getting more serious plug in, recent collaboration with vizcom show how much the desire on the development team
hi there, i wanna enter the contest but the link you have sent is not opening in my region, is it possible to attach a screenshot instead? or maybe a google drive link?
Rob, I'll probably enter your contest in Fusion 360. Not my native jam but I just remembered I've got that too. If at some point you would like to investigate Solidworks Dassalt Systemes has free and very low cost parametric but non-configurable versions available for personal use on their website. That interface is way more straightforward than 360 --IMHO :-)
No problem I will provide you STP file which is open in any CAD Software and you can edit Easley.. check my concept design if you like it I'll send you STP File.
I'm looking for your feedback
Thanks

I don’t use solidworks but it does appear to be very popular. The problem I have is making edits myself afterwards. I don’t have solidworks and will want to modify parametric values later.
Hi Rob, would you accept inventor or solidworks. I can send you whatever type of file you want in the end. or for starter if done in any of the software then later onecs happy moving to your preffered software. Happy with this?
Hi there ! Is it ok if I enter the contest by using Solidworks
Hi, Rob-
I want to enter your contest but I'm a Solidworks user, and it is not one of the softwares you spec above. Will you actually entertain a Solidworks entry? I noticed there are several posted already...

One thing to note. The GPS module (available in step - see google drive link in description) and the RFID module (also step) should be mounted internally somewhere close to the top. The RFID reader needs to be mounted such that it can receive NFC tags in close proxity (10mm).

3D Fuel's Company Mascot - Chameleon
3D Fuel is a 3D printer filament manufacturing company. Our mascot is the panther chameleon! We are looking for a cartoon looking chameleon that we can print without supports in a single print. If we must have supports the less supports the better. We don't want people who print this to have to "clean it up" too much. This is something that we would like to bring to trade shows and post on our website with our different color filament. We want this mascot to be an icon! When people see this chameleon they will know what company it belongs to.
Pendant
Looking to create a 3d model of a pendant. The pendant should look like a sphere with holes similar to the ones on the ring in the attached file
3D printable mount to turn 'tiny whoop' drone parts (+paper) into a remote control paper airplane with FPV
I would like to remix 5 'things' on 'thingverse'.
The core 'thing' that inspired the project is this paper airplane motor mount created by Peter Sripol: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2905006
This video describes how it works: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSDNgnhJ-FM
But, I’m using different drone parts, and adding a camera.
Full details are provided in the attached PDF.
The reason for remixing five 'things' is that means the hard work of sizing the 3d-printed parts to match the electronics has been done for us.
Note that I do not need a CAD file, just a 3d-printable .stl file.
Note that I'm asking for three versions.
3D Sculpture for Mini-Art Piece:
CONCEPT
The smallest actions, characteristics, attachments, interactions stay with us. People follow us, affecting our consciousness in subtle ways to form each unique part of our being.
PIECE DESCRIPTION
Imagine a representation of people leaving traces in your home with finger prints of places they might have touched.
Getting tactical, think of small oval pads for each finger print. Coming up on all sides of the pad would be a splash. They are like fingerprints with energy coming out of them.
Please the attached sketches and inspiration.
Beer + Earring = Beerring : The Bottle Opener Earring!
I am looking for some creative masterminds to design an earring with the functionality to open a beer bottle! After a frustrating day on the boat with no bottle opener in sight I realized my earring could possible be used if only for few design changes! I have the trademark for "Beerring" and now just need your awesome design!
