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.
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
