3D Tool-Adapter Design for Printing -- 2
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Overview
I am looking for a 3D designer to create a 3D model of a simple tool-adapter that will be 3D printed and used to clamp a circular eye ring (35 mm diameter, 6 mm thick). The adapter is a single piece that attaches to a motor on one end and has a socket with a slot on the other end to slide over and grip the eye ring, allowing the motor to rotate and tighten. I’ve attached a picture of the actual metal tool for reference, and I need a 3D model that replicates its functionality while fitting specific mounting requirements on the motor end (motor image and dimensions attached). The design should be lightweight, strong, and ready for 3D printing.
Project Scope
The freelancer will design a 3D model of the tool-adapter based on the provided specifications and the attached image of the actual tool. The model must be ready for 3D printing, with all dimensions clearly defined. The adapter will be used to grip and rotate a 35 mm eye ring clamp, applying enough force to secure it without slipping or breaking.
Design Specifications
Shape: A cylindrical piece with a flat mounting base (motor end) and a socket with a slot (clamp end).
Total Length: 45 mm (5 mm base + 40 mm socket).
Body Diameter: 25 mm (main cylinder).
Mounting Base (Motor End):
Diameter: 30 mm (wider than the body for stability).
Thickness: 5 mm.
Center Hole: 8 mm diameter, round shape, 6 mm deep (to clear the motor’s shaft and allow adaptor to be fixed directly onto the horn).
Mounting Holes: 8 x 2.5 mm diameter holes to screw adaptor directly to horn - see drawing, 5 mm from the edge (for screws to attach to the motor).
Socket (Clamp End): Internal Diameter: 20 mm, 40 mm deep (to slide over the eye ring).
Slot: 35 mm long x 6 mm wide x 2 mm deep, centered along the socket’s length (runs the full 40 mm).
The 35 mm length fits the eye ring’s diameter.
The 6 mm width fits the ring’s thickness.
The 2 mm depth helps grip the ring (can be adjusted slightly if needed after testing).
Material: Designed for 3D printing in PETG (a strong plastic).
Weight: Target ~50-60g (to keep it lightweight).
Strength: Must be strong enough to grip the eye ring and handle rotation without bending or breaking.
Design Requirements
- Compatibility: The mounting base must fit a motor shaft (5 mm D-shape) and have two 2.5 mm holes for screws (10 mm apart).
The socket and slot must slide over and grip a 35 mm diameter x 6 mm thick eye ring (see attached image).
- Functionality:
The slot should hold the eye ring securely while the motor rotates it to tighten the clamp.
The design should be sturdy to avoid bending or breaking during use.
- 3D Printing:
Design for printing in PETG with 100% infill (for strength).
Minimize supports (orient with the mounting base on the print bed).
Use 0.2 mm layer height for a good balance of quality and speed.
Deliverables
- 3D Model Files:
STL file ready for 3D printing.
Source file in your preferred CAD software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks—please specify format).
Documentation:
A short PDF or document with:
Key dimensions (D-hole, mounting holes, slot).
Recommended print settings (material: PETG, infill: 100%, layer height: 0.2 mm, orientation).
Estimated weight and print time.
- A rendered image of the tool-adapter showing how it fits the eye ring (based on the attached photo).
Skills Required
Experience with 3D modeling software (e.g., Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Blender).
Knowledge of designing parts for 3D printing.
Ability to create simple mechanical designs that are strong and functional.
Timeline
Design Completion: Within 5 days of project start.
Revisions: Allow for upto 5 rounds of minor revisions (e.g., adjust slot size) based on initial print testing, within 2 days of feedback.
Budget
Please provide your bid for the complete project, including all deliverables.
