About the job
We're producing a custom open-top dump bin display for retail/event use at premium branded environments. We need a CAD designer to spec a build we can self-source from a square tubing supplier as a kit and assemble in-house — no custom fabrication.
The outcome we want
A clean, premium-feeling 24" × 24" × 32" tall open-top dump bin with an upper "walled" section (~10" tall) for product, sitting on open legs (~22" tall). Walls are clear acrylic panels held captive by the frame so they can be swapped for printed promotional graphics between activations. Think Apple Store fixture aesthetic, not big-box POP. Stable when loaded with ~30 lbs of merchandise. Initial run is 25-35 units.

On the parts system
We've been planning around Testrite because they sell pre-cut square tubing, connectors, and brackets we can assemble ourselves with a rubber mallet — no welding, no custom fab. Open to a different supplier if you know one that offers the same kit-of-parts model with comparable quality and lead time. Open to a slightly different design or material if it gets us a cleaner result.
Acrylic panels will be sourced separately — we just need the spec.

Acrylic panels will be sourced separately — we just need the spec.
Things we'd like your recommendation on
Acrylic panel thickness and how it integrates with the frame (slotted tube, U-channel, routed slot, etc.)
How to detail a swappable printed graphic on each bin face
Solving the middle-level corner joint where 4 tubes meet (most kit systems don't sell a true 4-way connector)
Feet vs. casters — likely fixed leveling feet, but call out both in the BOM
Deliverables
Dimensioned 2D drawings (PDF + DWG) — plan, elevation, exploded view
3D model (STEP preferred; native Fusion 360 or SolidWorks welcome)
Bill of materials (Excel) with vendor SKUs, links, quantities, cut lengths
Assembly instructions (PDF) — illustrated, step-by-step, simple enough for a warehouse hand to build in under 30 minutes
Timeline & budget
5–7 business days from kickoff, one round of revisions.
