Commission a Designer (Megathread)

In this thread you can post about designs that you would like commissioned.

ALL POSTS MUST CONTAIN:

  • Clear description of the work that you would like (INCLUDE PHOTOS or BASIC SKETCHES)
  • Clear statement of what you would like to pay
  • What timeframe you would expect your project to be completed in

GOOD POST:

Hi! I need a designer to create a 20mm*20mm box that I can test my printer with. I’ll pay $0.00 for it. Here’s a sketch:

This post states exactly what needs to be made—so much so that someone could create it without needing any other information. Since the author has outlined a price, designers can choose whether or not they think it’s worth it or negotiate for a better price.

BAD POST:

I need someone to make me a house, I’ll pay a good rate.

This post is vague and does not state a clear starting amount.

If your post is too vague, it will not receive any responses. Once someone starts working on your job, edit your post to state that.

I’ll note this: This isn’t a post for me to try and get commissions (I don’t do commissions); it’s for anyone who wants to to post projects and for anyone else to negotiate and accept them.

Hi,

I need a production-ready STL for 3D printing and silicone mold making.

Specs:

– Oval bas-relief cameo

– Size: 2.0” tall × 1.0” wide

– Flat back (open-face mold)

– Twisted rope edge

– Medium-deep relief (~0.15”)

– No undercuts or fragile details

Subject:

Cowgirl profile wearing a modern cattleman crease cowboy hat, hair down (controlled, tucked), wild rag knot, modern pearl snap shirt

This is for a one-part silicone mold, so mold safety is critical.

I have reference images and exact geometry targets.

Please confirm you do bas-relief work suitable for molding and can deliver STL.

Please read

again and add the missing Information. :wink:

Please does anyone here have ideal of reasons why posting commission isn’t allowed on this forum ? :roll_eyes:

It’s been explained to you on several occasions. This is not the place to post advertising your business of creating avatars. It is considered spam and will be removed.

Hi everyone! :waving_hand:

My name is Fraukje and I’m the owner of Mosa 3D Printing, a small 3D printing business based in the Netherlands.

I’m currently looking for a reliable 3D designer/modeler for a longer-term collaboration. We have several ideas and expect to need new models regularly in the future, so ideally I’d like to find someone we can keep working with.

The models we’re looking for are generally small and relatively simple, for example:

  • Small buildings
  • Mini stadiums
  • Keychain-sized models
  • Similar architectural miniatures

They don’t need to be extremely detailed. Actually, we prefer clean and recognizable designs that are easy and reliable to print.

Most models will be around keychain size (approximately 5 × 3 cm) and should be optimized for FDM printing on Bambu Lab printers, preferably also suitable for a 0.6 mm nozzle and multicolor/AMS printing where possible.

For the first model, I’m thinking of a budget of around €40–€60, depending on complexity. If we’re both happy with the result, we’d love to work together on many more small models in the future.

We would need the right to commercially sell the physical prints. The actual design files will not be resold or shared.

If you’re interested, please send me a message or reply with some examples of your previous work and an indication of your pricing.

Looking forward to finding someone we can work with long-term! :blush:

Hi Fraukje,

I’d be interested in seeing an example model—something you already have at your company, along with, say, the photo you used to “build” the model.
That would give me an idea of the level of detail you have in mind. Maybe you could also provide a link to your company’s website where you offer this service.

I’m assuming you don’t want an AI-generated model, but rather something that was designed and developed from scratch. Is that right?

And one more question: Do you just get the right to print it commercially, or do you get all the rights to the model? In other words, is the designer also allowed to “reuse” it on Makerworld, for example?

Hi Fraukje,

I saw your post on Reddit about this. It caught my eye because I like making miniatures :upside_down_face:

I did up a very rough model based on your stadium example because I was curious. It’s very unpolished and I only eyeballed the dimensions.

Cost wise, you’d be looking at the upper end of your budget, possibly more depending on how much detail and refinement you’d like. I can tell you right off the bat that the 0.6mm nozzle is too big for detail work. The letters disappeared entirely when I tested them. Also note that the keyring loop should be printed in the orientation as shown as it will be stronger than what the source image suggested.

Anyways, if you’d like to discuss further you can either DM me here or over on MakerWorld :blush:

I will come back to you tomorrow with a exented reaction! :slight_smile:

Hi Berry im new to this platform, so haha i dont know how to DM you, can you help me:)

If you click my username, there should be an option to message me. At any rate, I’ve sent you a DM directly as it seemed easiest. Feel free to carry on the conversation there but no worries if you decide to go with a different designer :slight_smile:

Hi There,

I’ve been searching for a bag sealer for this kind of sliced meat deli bags (later found out they are called “Thermoformed vacuum pack”.

The existing clips are only made for bags that are opened at one end. The clip for this kind of bag would be “U” shaped i guess, but I do not have time to design and test it.
These kind of “bags” apply to sliced processed meat and dairy.
I tried uploading a photo but I get an error saying “An error occurred: Sorry, you can’t embed media items in a post.”
I cannot post a link…

A bag size is seems to be universal:

138 mm wide

222 mm long

and the part the is sealed and the film that comes off from the edges is 5 mm wide and it goes around the bag (of course).

payment for this…i guess it would be worth about 10$, as it would be generally helpful,

Just a reminder that personal emails should not be posted on the forum. If you need to connect with someone please use a direct message.

Hi Fraukje, are you still looking for a designer for your small building and stadium keychains? I have completed paid designs for toys and practical adapters, and would be interested in reviewing one simple architectural model as a first project. Could you share the reference images, required colours, dimensions and deadline? Your €40–€60 range could be a starting point for a simple model, subject to reviewing the detail and revision scope. I would provide a model preview before the agreed STL; physical print testing would be on your side. Please also let me know whether you still use a 0.6 mm nozzle so we can plan the smallest features appropriately.

Hi, is your U-shaped clip request for the 138 × 222 mm deli pack still open? I have completed paid toy and adapter designs and would be interested in reviewing this practical part. Could you share a photo or sketch showing how the film opens, the rim thickness, and which edges the clip should grip? Please also confirm your printer/material and deadline. I saw your approximate $10 budget; I would need to review the geometry before confirming a scope and price. A first prototype could be tested on your pack and adjusted within an agreed revision scope. I would treat this as a closure clip, without promising a vacuum or airtight seal.

Hi! I need a designer to create a part, which I can attach to the side of my yarn bowl, to pull yarn from the center. It would need to have a printable screw on it, so that I can put it on any yarn bowl.

Yarn bowl thickness are from 14mm - 6mm. Height of 20cm would be perfect.

I’ll pay $50 AUD for it. I can’t include a link or an image? But I do have one done up.

yarn.stl.3mf (1.5 MB)

How did you add an image? I have a poorly drawn mock up done, but I can’t attach it?
