I have a 1975 O'Day 27 sailboat, and I need to replace the portlights (windows) on both sides. I'm looking for someone to create accurate CAD files of the frames for 3D printing. Since most 3D printers cannot handle dimensions over 30 inches, the frames can be split into two 15-inch sections for easier printing and assembly during installation. Please download the [login to view URL] to learn more. I have cut out the old plexiglass windows. The frame will have a groove in which I will insert the new plexiglass at installation time. The port side frames are mirror images of the starboard side, so after completing one CAD file, I'll need corresponding mirror image files as well. Due to the intricate details of these frames, I prefer working with someone located in the San Diego area so we can arrange to meet in person once the project is awarded. This will allow you to work directly with the part in hand and get any additional clarification needed. I will handle the 3D printing myself unless you also have access to a suitable printer and would like to do the printing as part of this project. Looking forward to your bids!

With over 6 years immersed in mechanical design, I am confident that I can provide detailed and precise CAD files to facilitate the replacement of your portlights. My experience extends beyond just creating models; I understand the underlying engineering principles which allows me to generate optimized designs that are ready for production. Not only can I rapidly 3D model each frame, both split into the necessary sections, but also anticipate any real-world discrepancies and troubleshoot them before they arise. My expertise with CAD/CAM and Solidworks makes me the best fit for your project. Additionally, my proficiency in MATLAB & Simulink simulations fosters my ability to validate designs prior to prototyping, ensuring higher chances of a smooth assembly process. While being located in San Diego is not a requirement you've set, it works as an added benefit as we can collaborate more closely on this intricate design by being able to meet up in person. Let me assure you, by working together, not only will you receive accurate CAD files on time, but you'll have the added benefit of a knowledgeable professional who truly understands and has hands-on experience with your project. The successful completion of your task is not just about delivering CAD files, but about ensuring that those 3D printed frames fit perfectly into your sailboat's architecture. Overcome any technical challenges associated with this project by hiring me!

THIS IS NOT THE AUTO BID, PLEASE REVIEW IT IN DETAIL Hello, I’ve reviewed your project and understand you’re looking for accurate CAD designs for new portlight frames for your 1975 O'Day 27 sailboat. With my extensive experience in 3D modeling using SolidWorks and AutoCAD, I can create detailed and precise CAD files and split them into workable sections for 3D printing. I acknowledge that the frames require intricate details and will ensure that each part fits correctly, allowing for the plexiglass installation you described. Collaboration in San Diego sounds ideal for direct feedback, and I’m available to meet at your convenience to clarify any specific design aspects. Once the first frames are completed, I’ll promptly work on the corresponding mirror images as well. What specific materials or preferences do you have in mind for the new frames? Sincerely, Ibad

My name is Mehar Awais. I will create a precise CAD design for 3D printed portlights for your 1975 O'Day 27 sailboat with accurate hull contour matching, clean parametric structure, and marine-ready detailing. I carefully model the outer flange, inner trim ring, mounting hole alignment, gasket channels, and lens seating geometry to ensure proper fitment and weather resistance. I can enhance your project by optimizing wall thickness for durable marine-grade printing, integrating O-ring or gasket grooves for watertight sealing, reinforcing screw boss areas to prevent cracking, and preparing STEP/STL files ready for production. If required, I can also design the transparent insert frame, hinge or latch mechanism, and ensure tolerance allowances for thermal expansion and marine conditions. With three years of experience in mechanical CAD development and production-ready modeling, I focus on dimensional precision, structural reliability, and professionally organized deliverables suitable for functional installation.
