I recently downloaded the RTS-002 at your YouMagine page and I was impressed with all the work that you put behind this project. I’m not the biggest Star Wars fan but I instantly recognized the design elements from Kylo Ren’s lightsaber and Darth Vader’s mouth guard & chest box. I especially like how you integrated the First Order logo into the front end of the scanner. You have successfully created a unique design that is worthy of being part of the Star Wars galaxy and I’m sure that future ‘Matt’ cosplayers will enjoy this prop you have created. Congratulations and good luck on the contest!
Are you allowed to enter with two separate entries? I just find it a bit unfair as you have another eatery later on. I would nderstand it if you had two designs as a bundle in one comment, but isn’t it cheating having two separate entries
You clearly are the on who has reading problems when I already stated that clearly. And if you knew how to read you would understand I was talking about submissions of old entires and not new ones. Also the not so active moderator, Simona also stated, “They (the votes) will be taken in account as a mention of honour from the community.” Thus causing all these unwarranted downvotes.
When you try to ridicule someone that they can’t read, make sure your reading comprehension is there for yourself first.
This is the type of new works I hoped to see from the beginning. If only the rules were more clear and invited NEW DESIGNS rather than allow people to repost oldies, we would have gotten a lot more designs like this.
The yoda is one made exactly the same by around 100 persons, the DV I did a lot more than just the base so is not the same as I downloaded a short while ago. For the competition the LarsHomestead is the most important as mentioned…
Ok. That’s good to hear. I just though you were trying to trick the judges with two entries. If they allow it then I’m happy. What I still don’t get is why you have one in French.
Congratulations to the 1st prize winner who wins an Ultimaker 2+ → @AxisLab with the Custom Star Wars C3PO Themed, Team Unlimited - e-NABLE Arm. We all love your design. We really appreciated your time in designing it and make the STLs available for a wonderful cause as the E-Nable project.
The runner up for the competition is @Sturnino, taking R2D2 and Arduino to create this awesome design. You win 6 spools of Colorfabb nGen! Well done.
Finally 2 spools of Colorfabb go to @Thomas_Kreidel with his Super Star Destroyer Executor.
Thanks all for sharing all your designs, participating to the competition and bring the Star Wars props to the next level. You really made it!
Thank you all for the very kind words on my collaborative effort in making this goofy, but original piece we created that we felt could have existed within the Star Wars universe branching from the inspiration that came from the SNL Kylo Ren Undercover Boss short.
As a whole I’m actually VERY surprised such little deliberation was involved in the decision making and wonder if the staff had truly taken the time and consideration to really look at every entry here based on how fast this contest came to a close and was decided upon. I do believe this competition had a set of rules that the submitted creations had to be of something that has yet to be introduced into the Star Wars universe and not alternate artistic versions of things that already exist (and won’t ever exist in the universe that way because they already are as we have been presented).
I can take not winning just fine. I am extremely proud of this piece and had one of the best times of my creative life helping be a part of making something that started from absolutely nothing, to becoming something that sits on my desk right now. We really believed in this one and had a good feeling others would get a good kick out of it. Thank you everyone for the great feedback and up votes! Congratulations to the winners.
Before anything else, congrats to the winners, those were some awesome entries, I will definitely print that Super Star Destroyer.
Having said that… serioulsy? Acording to the rules “Final Submission Date : March 21, 2016”, it’s still March 21.
I was finishing my print, (I know it was cutting it close, but the printer decided two days ago to break on me), and was hoping to submit it today, you guys need to write better rules, this was a mess from the start.
Use your tablet or smartphone to create a StarWars lamp with this 3d print.
While charging your tablet in this accessory you have a lucent StarWars lamp.
Load a free app f.ex. “LightTemperatur” or “flashlight” on your device, make it lucent and put it into the stand. Choose the colour you like, suitable to the colour of your room or to your mood.
To charge your device while it works as a mood-light put the charging-cable through the slim opening on both sides of the stand. At the back of the stand you can find an opening to insert your device easily.
If you like to use the lamp without your device, you can use a self-adhesive LED-stripe, just like a real lamp.
You can scale the STL files for the size of your device.
I know, I know it’s too late but I just finished the print (I underestimated the model complexity and the speed of my printer) and as it’s still March 21…
PS Congratulations to the winners, as for the management of this contest, I really hope you learned something, because was really poorly managed competion.
Yes. I noticed that before if you look up top right when Simona told us to ask if there was any questions and I knew immediately a time deadline was left out and tried to ask for everyone but it was never answered. Looks like a few others had asked later in the contest too without avail. The contest was quite a disaster in the way it was handled. Hope 3DHubs learn something from this experience. I wish we could have seen your entry. =(
I thought the deadline was today at 23:59. Silly me.
Anyways I have been working on a sculpted Vader pencil holder(+misc holder) for the contest. The prop can also go on the tip of the car hood or on the interior as awesome decor haha. I skipped class for it but it seems I might not be able to enter.
I wanted the model to be easily printable and printer friendly so no Critical layers(tested on the Retina Software) and it is sub 100k polys. It was tough and alot of corrections made but I kept the printer friendly-ness in mind constantly while sculpting while keeping important details and pose. Most printers are able to print this. It is meant to be printed upright for FDM printers. This has been heavily sculpted and I wanted a detailed companion close to Yoda. If the contest ended at the end of the month it would have allowed for me to finish sculpting Obi-Wan and Anakin. There are two versions. One is with the cape and the other without if you want to save material for checking calibration detail. Enjoy for the moment! Vader.stl 1 (5.04 MB) VaderwoCape-ByDecadia.stl 1 (3.47 MB)
Not your fault. They never properly stated a time deadline nor time zone. This is a high quality model. Great job. Did you try printing this yet? Can this be printed properly without support? Left arm may be trouble?
Thanks, I did spend lots of hours on this model to bring the quality up enough for the Yoda companion.
I aim to have others print this happily without supports.
I’m having it printed without supports myself and so far so good. I posed the left arm just at the right angle to have 0 critical layers but if other people have issues I can raise it a bit more. I dont currently have a FDM printer with me so I’ll be testing it out at school. Thanks for the comment!
I can not believe the winner was a 3D printing service who does it for a living & already have there own 3D printer. Talk about unfair is this another case of a rigged contest? I feel total cheated by this
I don’t even own a printer and had to have my good friend run the 48 parts and overnight them to be to make this thing happen. I didn’t know the winner was a company that actively provided services and did this stuff professionally.
Perhaps 3DHubs should have had stipulations on WHO could enter. You can’t get upset at Axis Labs as they didn’t do anything wrong. It’s a position you can take advantage of when those rules don’t apply It all falls on the people responsible for the contest who didn’t think this through well at all.
Hey @GIFT3D, apologies for the late reply. We share the same concerns as you, which is why about 3 weeks ago we announced switching from upvotes to a jury to assess the contest entries. Please see Simona’s message below:
‘Judging Criteria Update: Together with Ultimaker we saw the issues in the upvoting system for the design entries. For this reason we’ve changed the judging criteria system from upvotes to a jury, which will be composed by Ultimaker and 3D Hubs. The winner of the competition will be declared on March 21st. In this way everyone will have enough time to create and print the best Star Wars gadget around. Hope this can solve any issue around the competition. If you’ve any question, please ask’
Hi Wes, really sorry for failing to get back to you in due time. Fair point though, we’ll make sure to communicate the exact details of of when a contest ends moving forward. I do hope you got to enter the competition in the end! Thanks for understanding
Hey @GIFT3D, albeit too late, let me to clear things for you. Multiple entries are definitely allowed, whether in the same comment or not, otherwise we would have mentioned it in the competition brief. Hope this helps.
Hey @tanwalin@edthomp@ItsATrap, thanks for your input. Let me start by saying that we certainly weren’t pressured in any way to end the contest sooner. I do agree however that we could’ve handled this contest better, and as one of the largest competition we hosted on Talk, there’s definitely a lot to learn from the experience.
@tanwalin I’m sorry you didn’t get to show us your project! I hope you’ll still share it with the community here on Talk.
Mike, the only thing I can say to that to hopefully make you feel less cheated, is keep in mind this is a 3D Hubs hosted contest. 3D hubs is literally a network of 3D printer owners using printers as a service. 95%+ of us on here already have machines that we try and use professionally, and why we have a hub in the first place.
The only thing different with me, instead of doing it from home, I rented an office space to teach classes too, and yes, I’m trying to turn it into something full time. However I assure, sadly most days it doesn’t even pay for my lunch lol.
I’m sorry you are mad at me for it, but I assure you, any machine I have works it’s butt off off for limb different children, community events, and local school groups. I put that before everything.
I’m not mad at you your doing a good thing for your community. It’s the way the contest was run. I feel cheated because I have mental health problems and are house bound, I could never afford a 3D printer of my own and I have entered many 3D printing contests and have never won a thing and it adds to my spiralling depression which does not help
I created a replica of the lightsaber Luke Skywalker ANH.
I did the internal chassis to make a replica of the film my way.
There are brass parts turned by a friend.
It is made with metal, 3D printing, welding, motherboards sound and light management.
He is also scheduled to fight
Cheers
