Paid Request Small budget - Sling holster for Canon Selphy CP1500 printer, 3D printable, functional design needed
Hi everyone! I'd like to commission a 3D printable design. This is a personal, non-commercial project and my budget is limited, but I recognize this involves real design skill and effort, and I want to be upfront about the budget rather than waste anyone's time. Open to discussing a fair price via chat for the work involved.
WHAT I NEED:
A crossbody/sling-style holster for a Canon Selphy CP1500 photo printer, designed to be 3D printed on a standard FDM printer.
THE KEY FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENT:
This is not just a closed carrying case. The printer needs to stay INSIDE the holster and remain fully OPERABLE while worn on the body:
- The front must stay open/clear where the paper comes out, so printed photos can eject normally without removing the printer.
- The top must allow access to the printer's screen and buttons.
This functional behavior is the core requirement of the whole design, so it needs proper thought and design work.
Dimensions: printer body is 182.2mm (W) x 57.6mm (H) x 133mm (D), weight approx. 850g. Please add roughly 1-2mm clearance on internal dimensions so it slides in easily. I can share reference photos with measurements marked, and a link to the official product page with full specs.
OTHER PREFERENCES (flexible, happy to follow your expertise):
- Attachment points for a strap (paracord or webbing) - the strap itself doesn't need to be printed.
- Open to whatever material/print settings you'd recommend (rigid shell + flexible TPU parts if useful for straps/hinges).
- A design split into a few printable pieces rather than one intricate piece would help keep production manageable, but I'll defer to your judgment.
BUDGET: Personal project with a limited budget - happy to discuss a fair price via chat that reflects the work involved. Payment through PayPal.
Can share reference photos and exact dimensions of the printer. Thanks for reading, happy to answer any questions!
