Hi, My company sells popup greeting cards. We need a machine, like the one seen in the video posted below, that opens and closes the cards automatically. This is for display purposes. Our website is [login to view URL] The video of one company's version is here: [login to view URL] We need the device to be small, light, simple to fix should it break, and battery operated. If we like the device you've built. We will order several more, potentially hundreds more over the next year. Once I've accepted your bid, I will send you a sample card to help you with the build. We are willing to pay one price for the design first build, and less for the copies built afterwards. Thanks very much!

Hello, First of all I took a pretty good look of your work. And I am impressed by the art you make. Regarding the prototype, as far as I understand you need a ready device delivered to you. If that's true, Bulgaria is one of the best countries for manufacturing of this device, we are an European country, but still with developing economy, that makes our labor in times cheaper than any USA or central Europe countries labor. However as an European country we have factories that follow all the directives and regulations of the EU and we produce by that standards. Summarized in Bulgaria you can get European quality (incomparable to China or India), on a lower price than standard. Now for the work on the prototype: I keep on communication on all stages of development. I respond 24/5 on any calls regarding the project. I provide 24/7 access to the development files and history on all changes. Regarding the price: For the first prototype: I am lowering the price of the work, simply because I like what you do and I support art in general. For later copies: Depending on the counts the price will fall. In general you can set the target price tag for you and it will be kept in the design process. If you are interested orders can be paid trough a company with the proper paperwork. I am opened for questions and negotiations on this proposal. Hope to hear from you soon, Mihail Vrachanski

we can use small bidirectional dc motor with speed control & either by timer or Microcontroller. we can also make it low cost with use of small dc battery for motor and due to small ckt it will look like compact & small!

Hello. I am very interested in your project. I am a developer of various devices based on the PIC/dsPIC, AVR, STM8, x51 controllers and I have experience in the development many different devices based on these controllers, also in assembly of prototypes and launching small series of devices into production. I have several idea as to the project: The design of this device can be made of transparent or different colors acrylic. Also, possible a decorative photo printing on the side surfaces of the device case. Cutting of acrylic will be carried by laser, this allows to produce different sized of parts for different cards. For the opening mechanism can be used stepper motor with lid direct drive this allows to control the movement speed and the opening angle, also a clear fixing of lid in any open position. To produce of the prototype I need to know: 1. What can be size of postcards. 2. Battery life. The ability to work from the AC. 3. Cycles of work time, opening speed. Also I have a lot of questions on the project, some of which I think will be solved after the detail of the project. Based on the level of complexity and significance of the project, the scheduled development period is about 2 weeks (more exact - after agreeing of the project details), and the cost of the work on a Prototype $250 and the subsequent copies of device will be cheaper (the cost will depend on the quantity of devices). Excluding the shipment of the finished product.
