Description:
I need help designing a stationary desktop robot that fires foam missiles and I'm looking for an interesting concept design.This robot would sit on someone's desk, connected to a computer, and would have the ability to fire foam missiles, motion track, and talk. It would:
* Plug into a computer with USB
* Be a stationary robot with no legs, it would sit on some sort of platform and needs to stay balance as it rotates
* Have a motion sensor
* Have a small built-in camera
* Have LED eyes and maybe mouth
* Have an internal speaker for talking and making sounds
* Rotate left and right on its platform
* Have foam missiles either on its arms or on a separate missile launching arm. The arm they are firing from should be able to rotate up and down for targeting.
It should be between 13 and 17 cm tall and at least 10 cm across (roughly).
Wants:
I'm really looking for some creativity here. This concept is basically a cross between two existing types of products: (1) USB Missile Launchers and (2) "Desk Defenders."
* A USB missile launcher can be controlled from your computer and shoots foam darts
* A desk defender sits on your desk and "wakes up" when someone walks by. Then it will threaten them verbally (i.e. "You will be exterminated," or something similar.
I've attached some photos for you to get an idea of what I'm looking for, including some simple hand sketches I made (I'm not an artist).
I'm looking for a design that makes the robot look somewhat menacing, but also a bit funny/humorous.

Neutronix, I look forward to see what you come up with.
Thank you for your design, Aher C P.
Hi Billy, I have sent just concept model, if anything more let me know
This is very interesting project. I will be help you & send 3d model as early as per your requirement.
I think I am in as wel.
This is an intresting project.
This is an intresting project.
Thank you mcluka. I look forward to seeing your design.
Great, now I fully understand your requirements. I will post my entry on friday evening due to other work. Regards
Thanks for your comment mcluka. I will try to be more clear about what I am looking for.
At present, I do not need a fully working prototype, because I do not have the internal launching mechanism or electrical components.
What I do need is something that can be 3D printed and looks like it would work if you are just looking at it or taking a picture of it. I need this so I can try and get some interest in the project, before moving forward and actually developing it.
The functionality I need for this design is:
* It can rotate and stay in position if you move it by hand
* Foam missiles can be mounted on it and removed (But not actually fire). The missiles would rest on small "poles" like the ones in this picture.

* It should look like it has a motion sensor and camera (Represented by small indentations or bumps in the design).
* It should have small indentations for a speaker somewhere hidden
* It should have a place to attach some USB cord to the robot (non-working)
* I would also like a design the shape of the foam missiles. They could be around 6cm long. Examples:

The overall style that I want is for it to look like a futuristic military defense machine (but with an interesting personality), and with dark colors .
Basically I'm hoping you can make a good guess about how much space all the internal parts will take up, based on what is currently existing in the market. But it is not critical. The design can be modified later if the project moves forward.

Hello,
I am interested in to this task, but I need to know if you only want a design with a render, or does it have to be modeled in "product ready to be printed/made" way, so to have the right wall thickness, to have the correct spaces for inner electronics etc?

Floral Glass Coaster 3D Artwork - STEP
Hi,
Im looking for someoone who can design a 3d Product Artwork:
Product: 3D Artwork of a round Silicon Glass Coaster
Dimensions: Width: 6,5 mm, Diameter: 10,9 cm
I have a STL file format, where I started the project, but Im not a professional designer, so I need someone who can maybe start by adopting on my design, as you can find a image attached (IMG1853) and change some things:
1. adopt on the dimensions as written above.
2.add floral structure on the elements/flowers but leaving a straight level at the end.
3. add structure to the buttom and leave here also a straight level at the end.
4.I need a STEP Format at the end.
For better understanding I added some pictures of a similar product I would like to orientate on.
Also I have a ai Design where you can orientate on the floral structure (see picture attached), but they cant be all taken because the structure is for silicone printin too complex - so the structure needs to be soften up.
Please let me know if you can help me with this project.

Jelena.
shop mock up
HI i need few slides on a mockup for a shop front i'm opening.
I need to have 3 main area, On the front counter, bit of space on the left, a hot food display with the GN 1/3 total 6, followed by a hot grill plate around 65/60 followed by cool display for sald ingredient around 9 1/3 gn, so total around 1.1. mtr.
Front top a glass 30 cm high with no top see the attache pictures.
I have attached photo of the shop today,
We need to modify the shop name from Grill and go to "italian street food store, i attache the brand for porpoise.
a drawing with the actual measures of the shop.
On the back i would remove the top price lists and would put this on the left side leaving the top free.
REnedring photo need to be modified with new name and similar counter
Where there's muck there's brass
An alternative to picking up dog dropping with plastic bags.
A cheap, easy to build, bio-degradeable design.
It should, with a minimum of moving parts, (ideally 1-2 piece cardboard structure), pick up and enclose droppings. Should also include built in handle (reasonably distanced from holding section)
Simplicity is key. As will need to be able to produce cheaply in large volumes.
MUST BE MASS PRODUCEABLE for cost in the region of $1-2.
Chocolate Melangeur
I need a stone mill grinder powered by an electric motor. There will be two granite stones weighing circa 10 kg each that will spin on top a granite base, which weighs 15 kg. The base will be at the bottom of a stainless steel pan, which will also contain the 2 stones inside it. The pan will spin by the action of an electric engine/reductor, as its base will be locked on top a metal spinning disc connected to the engine/reductor shaft. The two stones will spin in opposite directions by the action of the spinning base. The stones need to apply a force on the base in order for them to fine ground cocoa bits. In order to that, a system of coils needs to be built so that a force can be applied on each stone. The stones and coil system will have to be easily detachable from the pan, as well as, the pan itself from the disc that holds it, so that chocolate can poured in another recipient.
