Mechanical CAD Designer (RC Vehicle + 3D Printing)
Budget: $750 – $1,500 USD
Title:
3D Modeling + Simple Mechanism Design for RC Vehicle (Automotive Experience Preferred)
Description:
We’re building a scaled RC proof-of-concept vehicle with functional interior/exterior features.
This is NOT a production car — it’s a 3D-printed RC model with simplified mechanisms.
We already prepared a PDF guide that shows the design direction, proportions, and features.
It’s only a guide — we’re flexible and open to improvements or refinements you recommend.
We need a designer who can model the body + chassis and create basic servo-driven linkages for doors, bonnet, and boot.
Vehicle dimensions, the ideal engine mockup type, and the gearbox mockup will all be finalized together during the design process.
What We Need:
BODY
• Exterior 3D model (clean, modern)
• Two falcon-style doors (servo-driven)
• Powered windows (simple up/down mechanism)
• Servo-driven bonnet + boot
• Basic interior: seats, steering wheel, simple dashboard, AC shell, two tablet mockups, small fire extinguisher, two luggage props
• Internal spaces reserved for:
• Servos
• ToF sensors
• LEDs / small light housings
• Mini speakers (2): one inside each falcon door area
CHASSIS:
• RC-style chassis with:
• Servo steering system
• Drivetrain with a simple differential
• Engine block mockup (housing for DC motor)
• Gearbox with space for 2 hall sensors + 8 magnets
• CNG tank mock with space for batteries
• Flat PCB integration area with edges shaped for 2.54mm header pin attachment
• Additional mini speaker slot inside the front radiator mockup
PRINTING REQUIREMENTS:
• All parts must be 3D-printable
• Logical model splitting for easy printing + assembly
• Designed in realistic proportions but scaled to ~0.5–0.7m length before printing
MECHANISMS:
Simple servo-driven hinge systems for:
• Falcon doors
• Bonnet
• Boot
• Wiper
(Only RC-level movement — nothing overly complex.)
ELECTRONICS (FYI — Not Your Job):
Just leave space for:
• PCB (ESP32, multiplexer, PCA9685, DFPlayer, PAM amp, etc.)
• Servos
• 3 mini speakers (2 in falcon doors, 1 in radiator mock)
• ESC
• Battery percentage indicator
• 6 ToF sensors
• LEDs / LED strips
• Battery + BMS
(We can discuss wiring/PCB as a separate job.)
WHO WE WANT:
• Strong CAD + 3D modeling skills
• Automotive familiarity preferred
• Understanding of 3D printing constraints
• Ability to design simple, functional servo linkages
NOTE:
This is a simplified RC model, not a full automotive design.
We want a clean, functional, printable design — nothing over-engineered.
DO NOT APPLY IF:
• You only do rendering/styling
• You have no real build experience
• You cannot show past work related to automative or similar work
