Mechanical Design Needed: Enclosure for Handheld Interactive Device (2-Part Assembly)
Budget: ₹1,500 – ₹12,500 INR
Hi,
I am looking for a 3D designer to create a production-ready enclosure for a consumer electronics prototype. The device is an interactive character consisting of two main parts connected by a hollow "neck."
The Concept:
The Head Unit: A rounded, consumer-friendly enclosure that houses the main electronics and a display face.
The Base Unit: A stable base that houses the power source.
Key Requirements:
Mechanical Constraints: The Head and Base must be connected via a hollow channel (approx. 5-6mm) to allow wires to pass through.
Internal Components to Fit:
Display: 1.3-inch OLED Module (I will provide the exact dimensions).
Battery: A single 21700 Li-Ion cell (located in the Base).
Ports: Cutouts for a USB-C port and an SD Card slot on the Head unit.
Assembly: Designed for FDM/SLA 3D printing with snap-fits or standard M2/M2.5 screw bosses.
The Workflow (Important): Since I am hiring a separate PCB engineer, I need you to define the internal shape first.
Step 1: You design the shell and the internal mounting points.
Step 2: You export a DXF file (2D drawing) of the available internal PCB area.
Step 3: I will hand this DXF to my electronics engineer to design the board.
Step 4: I will send you back a 3D STEP file of the finished board for you to verify the final fit.
Deliverables:
Native 3D Files (Fusion 360 / SolidWorks).
STL/3MF files for printing.
The DXF Outline for the PCB designer.
Please let me know if you have experience designing enclosures for electronics, and share any relevant portfolio items.
Thanks.
