Switching ip, proxy, doesn’t let you vote more. It’s 1 up vote per 3dhubs account. One needs to log into their account to vote. Meaning if someone wanted to do say 20 votes, they would need 20 email addresses and sign up for 20 new 3D hubs accounts. That I’m sure would be noticeable and flagged by the contest holders.

Yeah, it’s disgustingly easy to rig, I could do about 80 entries per hour if I was bothered. I feel like doing it tho just to show 3D hubs why you don’t run a comp on this fashion. I doubt flowalitisk cheated tho, as he said he asked friends to come vote for him, nothing stopping the others doing that also.

personally, I think the first prize should reflect the effort given too. Motorised AT-AT gets my vote.

Of course you can lol.,

Even if you wanted to do it manually. 1. Create email, create hubs account, 2. Change VPN zone.

3. Repeat.

Custom C3PO, Team unlimbited - e-NABLE arm. (assistive/prosthetic)

After seeing the new Star Wars, and the completely random RED C3PO arm, I figured what the heck, I can just print him a new one.

(since, apparently there is no gold paint in space.?.)

Really happy with how it turned out!!

Don’t be rude. I doubt he cheated, however, I believe he has earned his upvotes by having his entry in early when there was very few to begin with. And being stickied on top allows for people to quickly upvote his entry easier. It’s just the flawed nature of this contest. You may have different opinions about other’s work but you have no rights to such negative accusations.

That being said the contest did state: Goal : Design and print a new and innovative Star Wars prop or gadget. Which may invalidate alot of earlier creations. I’d also like to note that I have no stake in this contest as I am impartial and have not the experienced modeling talent as some of you. It’s just discouraging for me to see that people who create designs specifically for this contest be at such of an disadvantage to someone who just puts their older work up. I’d personally like to see some new works and print some new design I haven’t seen before.

Contest holder may choose be be more clear. But at the very least revisit the voting method to allow everyone a fair shake.

Edit correction: looks like the goal asks for new under the summary but fails to have that keyword up top. So not sure what’s valid anymore at all. Creator needs to be clear whether new models created for this contest is valid or old star wars model created since the beginning of time is also valid.
