I'm looking for an experienced 3D designer to create a precise, 3D-printable enclosure for a custom handheld device. This design should be inspired by a futuristic Sailor Moon crystal brooch combined with a modern smartphone. It's important to note that this is a functional electronics housing, not just a decorative prop. Requirements: - The design must be 3D-printable, as I plan to use PLA material. - The ideal candidate should have a strong background in 3D design, especially with intricate and functional designs. - Experience in creating designs based on concept sketches and photos is preferred. Ideal Skills and Experience: - Proficiency in 3D modeling software (e.g., Fusion 360, Blender, SolidWorks). - Strong understanding of 3D printing processes and constraints. - Ability to translate concept sketches and reference photos into accurate and functional 3D models. - Attention to detail and creativity in integrating decorative elements with functional design. Project Title: Custom Round “Smart Brooch” Device – CAD Design for 3D Printing Project Overview: I am looking for an experienced 3D designer to create a precise, 3D-printable enclosure for a custom handheld device inspired by a futuristic Sailor Moon crystal brooch combined with a modern smartphone.

Hello! I'm a 3D designer specialized in 3D printing and I'll be glad to work on your Sailor Moon Crystal brooch. This is a complex 3D model since the integration of a touch device needs it to fit properly. I can 3D design it by first using a dummy device that has the right dimensions and then create an assembly with the rest of the brooch parts. For this I can use Fusion 360 or Solidworks, the 3D print the parts and check tolerances, and if you need me to ship them I can also fo that. Feel free to message me. This will be a fun project to create. Thanks.

Sir: Your needs are very clear. I use PTC/Creo. I have been doing product design since 2008. I have designed many products and opened molds to complete production and assembly. I have rich design knowledge in mold molding and 3D printing design. Because in the early stage of product development, I need to confirm the prototype assembly through 3D printing before preparing to communicate with the mold processing factory for DFM. Confirm the injection gate position, uniform wall thickness, mold flow analysis, parting line position, etc. The plastic material needs to be determined during product development, because different materials cannot be injected with the same mold. I can respond to your instructions quickly and ensure that the task is completed within the specified time limit. Because all these tasks are completed by me alone. I hope to cooperate with you and serve you. I hope to get your response
