SNOW-TOW ONE – Makita DTD173 Edition Parametric CAD Product Design – V1 Create a detailed, modular 3D CAD concept for a compact wearable snow sports towing device. 1. Design objective The device is designed around a Makita DTD173 18V LXT impact driver with a BL1850B 5.0 Ah battery. The complete concept is mounted on a wide ergonomic hip belt and designed for winter sports environments. The Makita tool should remain removable and recognizable as an original Makita tool. 2. Main components A. Makita tool holder * Custom-shaped protective housing for Makita DTD173. * Right-hand operation and accessible original grip. * Quick-release tool retention for transport and storage. * Removable 18V 5.0 Ah battery. * Rubber isolation pads. * Snow-resistant protective cover. B. Hip belt system * Ergonomic padded waist belt. * Adjustable straps. * Side-mounted equipment housing. * Weight distribution around the hips. * Modular attachment points. * Quick-release belt buckle. C. Gearbox enclosure concept * Separate compact mechanical enclosure. * Visual representation of an isolated gearbox. * Removable maintenance cover. * Internal space reserved for a professionally engineered drive module. * No functional torque connection to a person-towing rope. D. Rope interface concept * External visual cable-entry housing. * Enclosed, non-functional cable guide mockup. * Clearly separated from the human load-bearing system. * No functional winch, rope drum, gearing, brake or person-lifting mechanism. 3. Design language * Industrial Makita-inspired turquoise and black. * Compact outdoor equipment aesthetic. * Rounded protective edges. * Weather-resistant housing. * Minimal exposed hardware. * Professional product design. 4. CAD requirements Generate: * Full 3D assembly. * Individual editable components. * Parametric feature tree. * Exploded assembly view. * Front, side and rear views. * Section view of the enclosure. * Assembly drawing. * STEP and STL exports. Use verified manufacturer dimensions or a supplied 3D scan of the actual DTD173. Do not invent critical mounting dimensions. 5. Development constraints Target product weight: 15 kg maximum. Intended environment: snow and cold weather. Battery platform: Makita 18V LXT. Mounting: right-side hip belt. This is a non-functional industrial design prototype. Do not represent it as a tested or approved person-lifting device.
