Toy CAD for 3D Printing
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
I have a medium-sized product concept (finished length will sit somewhere between 10 cm and 30 cm) that I want to take straight to the 3-D printer. I already know the general look and proportions; what I need from you is a clean, well-structured CAD model that captures moderate surface detail—enough to make the piece visually appealing while still keeping print times and support requirements reasonable.
Please keep wall thicknesses, tolerances, and overhang angles appropriate for common FDM and resin printers. The final geometry should be watertight and ready for slicing without additional repair.
Deliverables
• Native CAD file (SolidWorks, Fusion 360, or similar)
• Print-ready STL (plus STEP/IGES for good measure)
• Brief notes on orientation, supports, and any assembly or post-processing I should plan for
If you have suggestions that improve printability or reduce material waste, feel free to build them into the design or highlight them in your notes. I’ll supply a simple sketch and reference photos once we start. Would also be good to have a short video call to walk through details. Looking forward to seeing your work!
