Yay, the competition is on! :partying_face:

I hope we get lots of entries because that’s a lot of prizes :sushi: :beer:

7

Following ! I won’t be able to follow this all the time due to professional duties and timelines, but I will check this from time to time to see how the competition goes!

I wish the competitors all the luck, and thanks CRX and “The_OL_Contest” team for putting this together :wink:

Here we go!!!

HUGE thanks to the organizers (they know who they are) and to the sponsors! And of course, best wishes to all of the participants! Start organizing your ideas and start your builds, looks like we have an unbelievable assortment of prizes this year.

WooHoo! Let’s GO!!! :slight_smile::slight_smile: :partying_face:

10

Awww yeah! I was hoping this would happen. What a great array of sponsors and prizes.

I’ll be throwing my hat into the Hand Made ring, I just haven’t decided what I’m going to make yet. Best of luck to all of the entrants!

11

I would love to do a build for this contest. But I need to know if my 3D printer is allowed. I draw all my own parts from scratch. I assume a 3D printer is allowed as long as the models are your own creation?

12

Yes, 3D printing has been used in the past. I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with! Good luck!

13

3D printer makes it a Machine Made entry. :+1:

14

I will be building an entry. Here’s a link to the topic. Nothing of any consequence there yet.

Thanks!!!

15

Yep, we had one last year (and it was super interesting). That’s a good question about what category it belongs in, I assume “machine made”, but maybe one of the organizers could chime in.

16

Niiiice!!!

17

Do it!!! :+1: :+1:

18

DNF’s build thread.

19

What type of printer is it?

Standard 3D printers are fine and a new build would enter into the Machine Made category :THUMBS-UP:

20

I have only a couple of samples for now.

21

I have some great ideas but still don’t have the time to make it…

I hope I can participate in the next contest.

22

Can a headlamp be part of the competition?

23

Sure :THUMBS-UP:

24

Great to see a few people have started comp threads :partying_face:

Soo looking forward to this :sunglasses:

25

My guess would be that it would fall under machine made, comparable to someone designing parts and using a CNC machine. But hopefully we can get an official ruling.

I’m sure if you 3d-print something that’s otherwise allowed to be an “off-the-shelf” part, like a switch boot or centering ring, that would be fine. My real question is, where does the 3-Doodler fall? It seems like a hand tool to me :stuck_out_tongue:
