Prototype a thin rectangular frame with hinged covers

$30-250 USD

Posted over 10 years ago

$30-250 USD

Paid on delivery
I need 6 working prototypes of the following piece. It can be made of plastic, very thin wood, stiff cardboard or other sheet product, or whatever you think is best. I do not yet know what the actual product will be made from. The piece will consist of a thin, rectangular tray that will hold one sheet of US Letter size paper (8.5 inches by 11 inches, 216 mm x 280 mm). To hold the paper in place, I imagine a lip 1 mm to 2 mm thick. Along the left side of the tray will be a hinge running 11 inches up and down. Three opaque panels will attach to this hinge, each measuring 8.5 inches wide by 3.5 inches high (216 mm x 88 mm). The panels will be arranged top to bottom so that when closed they will cover almost the entire sheet of paper. A 1/8 inch to 3/16 inch (approx. 3 mm - 4.75 mm) gap will be visible between each panel. I imagine a tab extending from the right of each panel to use while opening and closing. Each panel must move separately and lay flat when fully open. I will try to attach a rough sketch, but I don't know if I will be able to. Please give me your complete cost including materials and shipping to Baltimore, MD in the US, and please give me a timeframe.

Dear Sir, If you award this project to me, I will first send you a few sketches to be sure of the design, and then I will make 6 prototypes for you in 7 days and send you a picture when it is done (the time frame does not include shipping, but I will be shipping from NYC so it should not take too long, and if you need it urgently, I can do overnight shipping). It will be made out of strong cardboard with a nice paper covering, and either a living paper hinge, or a metal hinge. It will most likely have a living paper hinge as that is cheaper to produce, but it depends on how durable you want the product to be. I estimate the price of materials to be $20-40 depending on if you would like me to use metal hinges, and shipping would be around $17-$24. The price is still the same as what I quoted to you though. Should you award this project to me, I have a few questions to ask you: -The prototypes you want should all be the same design, correct? Not 6 different designs. -What color do you want the item to be- should it look business professional (black), white or a bold color? -What is this product going to be used for? (This question lets me design the look and durability of the product for a more specific use) I excel in making prototypes and models, and if you are interested, please take a look at my portfolio at: [login to view URL] Thank you for your time, Alex Chin

Based on your description, I estimate this can be done in a week or less. I will probably be using plastic all along.
