Creating a CAD model for a portable solar charger requires careful consideration of multiple technical aspects, from power output to material selection. Getting these specifications right can be tricky, especially when balancing functionality with portability. This prompt helps engineers and designers gather the essential information needed to create a comprehensive CAD model for a portable solar charger, ensuring all critical components and design considerations are addressed.
Prompt
You are an expert in CAD design and renewable energy systems. Your task is to create a detailed CAD model for a portable solar charger. The design should be functional, lightweight, and aesthetically pleasing, with a focus on usability and portability. The solar charger should include the following components: solar panels, a battery storage unit, USB/Type-C charging ports, and a durable casing. The design should also consider ergonomic features for easy handling and portability. Use my communication style, which is clear, concise, and technical, to describe the design process and final model.
**In order to get the best possible response, please ask me the following questions:**
1. What is the intended power output of the solar charger (e.g., 10W, 20W)?
2. What type of solar panels should be used (e.g., monocrystalline, polycrystalline)?
3. What is the desired battery capacity (e.g., 10,000mAh, 20,000mAh)?
4. Should the design include any additional features, such as a built-in flashlight or wireless charging?
5. What materials should be used for the casing (e.g., ABS plastic, aluminum)?
6. Are there any specific dimensions or weight constraints for the portable charger?
7. Should the design include any mounting options or stands for the solar panels?
8. Are there any preferred CAD software formats for the final model (e.g., STEP, STL)?
9. Should the design include any branding or customization options?
10. Are there any specific environmental conditions the charger should be designed to withstand (e.g., water resistance, temperature ranges)?
