Hi Connor, what i would like to 3D print, would be the joints, knobs, holders and fabrics of the differnt ideas. For sure a metail rail would do the best job for my reasons, but the supporting parts are best to customize with individual desin by 3d printing. thanks for your reply
It's not clear from the diagrams what the item is. You explain it above, which you should probably add to the solution. But it's not really an item that would have wide appeal. The client is looking for an after market item that could be offered at POS.
Hi Connor, id like to ask you, is it the main focus the whole product to be 3d printed or does it work for you if some dificult or nice or intersting parts are via 3d. I guess if we should keep it all of it to the 3d print, we will not get out of the size of a key holder shoe box or the next plastic garbage on planet earth!? appologize if it sounds rude, I dont mean to offend anybody and hope to get soon answer, cause this will probably give me the push to make one of my ideas in details completed or to let it go. thanks a lot
Hi Youlian, I think it is a great idea.. previous ideas with the same concepts weren't so complete as yours. All you Need IMO is clear visuals and description for the components and capabilities.. Also you can add a tent, a cabin..... etc. Mention the alternatives.. transparent / opaque. . Well done and good luck :)
hi Youlian,
is the 3D printing part clear now for you?
Would be nice if the whole solution is 3D printed, but not mandatory. In the latter case just state in your submission, which parts require 3D printing and why.
I suggest you work on your visuals/description and add some ideas how your rail system could be used to make 100% clear how it works, as I had to read through your submission a few times to understand how it would work.
Good luck!

Hi Markus, yeah it`s clear, thanks for your support. What I have to update are texts and descriptions about it... but however it will be done
