<div class="bbWrapper">I need a replacement of a product for work that is no longer made. What dominates the market is too big for the space and the only comparable product is as well too big. I&#039;m pretty confident (through experience) what I need many others will as well. The question is, where is the best place to get a blueprint/mockup done that could be sent to production/prototype after a test on the web if it is worth persuing. In the past I had mock ups done on fiverr/upwork. But this is a little more complicated and the final user will be a mix of price sensitive and non-price sensitive sellers. There is also an opportunity to have 2 different models at the start due to demands of the industry. <br /> <br /> Any advice on getting these two designs done?</div>

The closest thing I have been able to find is too big and about 10x more expensive than other options (which are also too big). its a niche product, however is very useful due to being ergonomic in tight bar areas. I have all specs and ideas, need it designed and have to figure a cost to produce it.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Remember people may not be able to do it for you but know people who might. <br /> <br /> This is a great place to look. <br /> <br /> Could even call small engineering firms I&#039;m sure they have relationships. <br /> <br /> Everyone will think &quot;that&#039;s kinda random&quot; and then will probably be able to help you in some way. &quot;I actually know a bar equipment manufacturer they would like to speak with you I&#039;m friends with the owner&quot;<br /> <br /> It&#039;s a small, small world out there.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">For 20 years I ran my industrial chemical business which involved industrial troubleshooting. I visited countless factories and although my problem solving usually resulted in selling a formula that I designed for the company that I was helping, I often saw that the problem was an engineering issue, so<br /> I pointed it out at no charge.<br /> <br /> If I knew what equipment you are looking for I might be able to help. You can message me if you want it kept confidential.<br /> <br /> Walter</div>
