This purifier sold in india comes with a tapered sharp knob that is so slippery sometimes, it's so badly designed and I was frustrated so I came here to rant.

I do understand the manufacturing aspect of it, it's just badly designed coming from a customer point of view, I just thought I should let everyone know who might buy this purifier.. they really cheaped out on a lot of things like this, the silver plastic housing just came out the other day near the drip too.

It's a live pure bolt water purifier and I would strongly recommend against it, because of its build quality.

I Hate Grading and Specs.

Currently making techpack for my recent dress "The Kiss" inspired from Gustav Klimt. Well now you know why am I regretting making the design very "artistic" thanks that I know how to make techpack properly. Jajaja.

P.s. this notion research took me a week to collect.

This techpack explores construction from stretch instructions, Grading, Specs, each component construction and so much more. Should I drop the techpack here?

Love any feedbacks or critiques.

You can see the design at my Instagram @avexia.studio.

I tried making a hardware product understandable without a physical prototype

12 Upvotes

I've been thinking of ways to make product discovery and even product launches smoother and more effective when people can't actually experience the product in person.

So I built this demo as an experiment. Instead of relying on videos and renders, the website allows you to explore the product in real time, inspect features and change configurations etc.

It works by adding a 3D layer to a normal website. The website loads instantly while the 3D experience loads in the background, and the 'switch' allows you to move between both modes.

Demo link: https://hello.aecync.com

I'd like to hear how you guys are currently presenting your products online, especially before customers can experience them physically.

This is not AI slop, every part of the 3D layer is 100% human :)

How do you analysis if an idea is even good?

1 Upvotes

I have been working since a month for my first project at an exhibition, and I have not been able to stick to one idea.

I was first working with my first product, which is to be a furniture design, but I rejected so many ideas, even after doing almost all the work, I got frustrated and moved to the second one now, which is based on fashion. (I am still a student, so yeah pretty diverse) But now I don't wanna repeat the same thing and kill my time, coz I have barely any left. Any suggestions on how to really, like really self analyse if an idea is actually cool or just trash?

Enclosure design for a consumer electronics

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm currently developing a portable E-Reader using ESP32-S3 and am looking for a product designer to design the enclosure.

Planning to CNC machine the enclosure out of ABS plastic.

What I need:
1. 3D CAD modeling (SolidWorks, Creo, or similar) optimized for CNC DFM (milling radii, wall thicknesses, etc.)

  1. Z-axis stack-up architecture (motherboard clearance, battery pocket, and ribbon cable routing channels)

  2. Designing for assembly (brass threaded inserts, micro-screws alignment features).

  3. Delivering final production-ready STEP and 2D
    engineering files

What I have ready for you:
1. Finalized component datasheets (Screen module, battery).

  1. The motherboard design.

If you have experience designing consumer electronics enclosures, handheld devices, or small loT gadgets, please shoot me a DM with a link to your portfolio/work.
