About the job
Project Summary
• I’m designing a custom Lego-compatible part roughly the size of a 2×4 brick (i.e. standard Lego dimensions)
• I plan to produce the piece in ABS (or ABS-like material) using injection molding
• I need a mold-ready CAD design: two halves (core + cavity), parting line, draft, ejector pin layout (if needed), and allowances for mold manufacturing
⸻
Deliverables / File Types
I’d like to receive:
• Native CAD file (SolidWorks / Fusion 360 / Inventor / your tool of choice)
• STEP (.stp) or IGES file (for sending to mold shop)
• STL (optional, for prototyping/3D printing)
• Detailed technical drawing with tolerances
• Recommended draft angles, parting surfaces, and design for manufacturability (DFM) suggestions
• Ownership / IP transfer: upon full payment, all rights to the design will transfer to me
⸻
Questions for You
To help me choose, could you let me know:
1. Do you have past experience designing plastic parts or molds? (If so, can you share examples?)
2. Are you comfortable designing to tight tolerances (e.g. ±0.1 mm or better)?
3. How many revisions are included, and what is your timeline (first draft, final delivery)?
4. What would your fee be for this project (fixed or hourly)?
5. Do you include mold design rules (draft, flow, cooling, etc.) as part of your service?
⸻
Timeline & Budget
• I’d like the first draft delivered within 5–7 days (if feasible)
• Final version within 10–14 days
