Showawa Outdoor Shower Head Design & Prototype
Budget: $250 – $750 AUD
Design Brief: Showawa – Portable Outdoor Shower Head
Project Name: Showawa – Mountable Hose-Connected Outdoor Shower System
Project Type: Concept-to-Prototype Product Design
Client: Mark Johnson
Objective:
Design a functional and aesthetically clean prototype for a mountable outdoor shower head that connects to a garden hose and can be secured in multiple ways—for both permanent and portable use.
Product Summary:
Showawa is a weather-resistant shower head system designed for outdoor use in camping, off-road, and home environments. It should be:
Durable
Easy to install
Compact and transportable
Compatible with standard garden hoses
Mounting Features:
The system must support two mounting options:
Permanent Mounting – Mounting holes for screw installation into flat surfaces (e.g., fences, brick walls).
Temporary Mounting – A silicone rubber strap mechanism that wraps securely around round or irregular surfaces (e.g., car roof racks, poles, trees).
Design Requirements:
Standard garden hose connector (common Australian fitting preferred)
Shower head should provide a practical spray pattern (wide, rinse-style)
Must be weather-resistant (UV, rain, dust)
Lightweight but durable (outdoor-use materials like UV-stable plastic, aluminum, stainless steel)
Easy for a single person to mount and unmount
Mounting strap must be adjustable and secure (think bike light or GoPro-style mounts)
Ideally modular for disassembly or flat-packing
Clean, modern outdoor aesthetic
Deliverables:
3D CAD files (STL and STEP format)
Rendered images (for presentation and feedback)
Design for 3D printing or basic prototyping (if applicable)
Material recommendations
Optional: guidance on prototyping suppliers or manufacturers
Timeline:
2–3 weeks for first prototype-ready concept (negotiable)
Reference Use Cases:
Mounted to a fence at a campsite
Attached to a van or 4WD roof rack
Hung from a tree or temporary outdoor structure
