Build Smart Ring Prototype with LED Display


$50.00
Hourly: $50.00 - $80.00

We’re looking to build an early stage prototype of a smart ring concept with a color-changing LED display on the surface (covering the top 30-50%) - no biosensors or app/BLE connectivity needed yet (although if you are experienced with this as well, that would be great to know). This is for a wearable tech concept we’re developing, and we want the first version to look and feel real, with a working LED display that changes color. We already have the design and are looking for someone who can build the full prototype (ideally both the metal ring casing and the LED lighting system), but we’re open to a small team or collaboration between a mechanical designer and an electronics prototyper if needed. What we need: -A wearable ring that resembles polished metal, titanium, or chrome (can be 3D printed, CNC’d, or cast. Open to your suggestions) -A small micro LED strip system (or some alternative if you have suggestions) that fits inside the ring to create a color display on 30-50% of the surface and can cycle through colors (ideally that can be manually controlled) -A compact power solution (coin cell battery, USB, or similar - ideally rechargeable) -Color-changing logic can be basic (loop, pulse, fade, etc.) Ideally one prototype made and shipped to us (ideally looking for someone US-based for easy and fast delivery) Nice to have: -Experience building wearable tech -Understanding of sleek consumer product design -Ability to deliver something that looks polished (not just a dev prototype) Please include: -Examples of similar physical prototypes you’ve built (especially with LED lighting or wearables) -Your preferred approach to fabricating the ring and fitting the LEDs -Whether you’d be handling the whole build or collaborating with someone else We’re ready to start immediately and I will share the design renders with selected candidates. This is a paid prototype that could lead to more work as we evolve the product and move into development and manufacturing. Looking forward to hearing from you. Thank you!
