RFQ Notes:

Production of a grasshopper spool. Manufacturer has gone out of business. Looking for a new vendor to forge new and lasting relationship. First 3 images show original prototype design. Would like to change design to that shown in 4th file. Requires 4 molded parts. Inner cylinder rotates inside outer shell. Inner cylinder will have a 3M "dual-lock" material attached. Vendor must research method for attachment of 3M material. Unit must be constructed from UV stabilized material and should be impact and crack resistant. Unit probably made from polypropylene, perhaps Exxon PP1052 or Basell Profax 6323.
Some additional designing and testing required. Prototyping needs to continue with new vendor. Rough dimensions - 2.75" long x 1.25" OD. For clarification, the unit shown in the CAD files is the OLD design. We would like to change the design to that shown in the cartoon drawings, ie to a shape more like a cigar or large pill. We also require the unit to have the narrow stem that bulges at the end rather than the thicker stem. The reason for posting these CADs was that we recently changed the design and do not have detialed renderings. All of other specs remain the same. An addition we'd like to make that was overlooked when posting this RFQ is that we'd also like the unit to "click" as the inner cylinder is turned. Not a loud click, but rather like that of a fishing reel. perhaps by a flange rubbing on a cog-like molded part molded into the inner cylinder.
