Bump

keep em coming!

22

Thanks for the bump… I was thinking about doing that last night. Depending where in the world one is there are about 70 days left

23

Nobody in Machine Made yet… :nerd_face:

24

I noticed that. I’m actually contemplating moving over to machine made if that’s kosher.

25

I see no reason why someone could not change. One one category can be entered ata time. As long as it fits the criteria for classification switching should be okay. If you do please PM me. Also if you change in the next day or two I may not be able to do the changes in the forum as I am about to take off into the never-never land of lousy backcountry cell service.

26

I guess it is Kosher, but I am afraid the machine made and hand made categories will be boring with a single participant each :(

27

Yes, our participation rate so far this year is disheartening :frowning:

28

“never-never land of lousy backcountry cell service” MTNDon

That’s a good thing.

29

The sooner they introduce the prizes, the more people join

30

I’m not sure I can make it this year. I’ve accumulated parts for many builds but not sure I can swing the time investment.

31

Updated gchart's category.

We parked the trailer on the top of a canyon wall rather than down in the canyon. I am connected to a tower 30 miles away. Sort of. It is hovering around -112dBm, plus or minus 8 or 9.

32

Whew, that sounds like an adventure. I’m jealous!!

33

A bump… Sponsor and prize information has been updated. See top of post #1

34

Hey great! I will add you to the machine made category, with a note that it is tentative. If you decide to switch that can be done anytime. When you start a build thread I will link to it. I see you started a build thread.

35

I’m going to try: Scallywag’s 9th Annual Old Lumens Challenge - Modified Light Category

36

I’m in, modified light category.

Minor rules question: If I were to have a mold for something 3d-printed, and I used that to cast an item in resin or silicone, would that be considered outsourcing? I would be doing and documenting the casting process, but I’d be having my friend print the mold. It’s not the only method I have to accomplish this step, but I think it would be the best and easiest. If the rules are an issue I’ll try another method.
