Guys please read the contest rules! It says DESIGN and print not download other peoples designs. People who have just printed someone else’s work do not really fit the contest requirements.

I understand you, and feel free to call my designs ugly, because I will probably agree with you. Your design is really detailed, and if you put side by side your design and mine everyone would prefer the lightsaber. As users are the ones who decide who has more or less votes, there are other things we should consider:
I’ve been designing low-poly models for more than a year, and my models are really easy to print as my priority was to make all the printing (and post-processing) as easy and smooth as possible. If we asked a group of 100 people with a 3D printer how many would make your lightsaber, maybe 5/100 would have the tools, time, passion for SW and money to make yours (being so detailed and using so many components reduces a lot the number of people who would make it). With my model, which can be certainly ugly, 100/100 people would be able to print it in 2 hours and with no extra material. I believe that can be the reason why my ugly Darth Vader is popular, and it’s because it’s so easy that everyone can make it.
I see your lightsaber design as a collector item and my Darth Vader as a Happy Meal toy.
Never change Agustin! I’m hyped for your next release
Hi guys, just a quick update on the contest and rules. I’ve just had a call with Ultimaker and we look at the issue as “upvotes” as judging criteria for the entries. Indeed upvotes are not the clearest way to show the great work behind an innovative, inspiring Star Wars design. Together we decided on the following, based also on your feedback.
A jury composed by Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members will decide on the 3 winners on March 21st. Upvotes will be used by the community to show appreciation for the design, but not as the mean to elect the winner.
Any question, please ask
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
Hey! Thanks for your feedback on the competition. In order to maintain the fairness of the competition and its entries, the winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative design on Star Wars topic. Do you have any question? Please ask.
Hey! This is really great feedback, thanks for it. In order to maintain the fairness of the competition and its entries, the winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative and new design on Star Wars topic. Hope this helps. Cheers, Simona
Hi Geoff, hope with the new rules you would re-enter the competition. I really apologies for the rules making you uncomfortable. Hope the new setup, with a judging panel, is fairer for all the community.
Any question, please ask!

Hey! Thanks for your feedback on the competition. It’s important to say that this is not a contest made just for people who have a 3D printer. We’re a printing network connecting you to close 3D printers, so if you want to print your Star Wars designs you have the possibility to print it at nearby Hubs.
I have an update on criteria selection of the winner. In order to maintain the fairness of the competition and its entries, the winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative design on Star Wars topic. I’m very grateful for the feedback on this. Cheers, Simona
Very true, however, after the complains on this topic, we felt the necessity to change some rules in order to make all the participants comfortable. The winners will be chosen by a selected jury of Ultimaker and 3D Hubs team members. The judging criteria will still be the same: the most innovative design on Star Wars topic. Thanks a lot for the feedback. Cheers, Simona
They will be taken in account as a mention of honour from the community
So up votes still matter and count. Gotcha, good to know.
I guess I will participate with my favourite Star Wars character, the Low Poly Darth Vader! There are two versions, with and without cape (Edna Mode would be proud of me!). It was designed so anyone with a 3D printer (or a 3D Hub near) could have one. It only has 3D printed parts, it takes only 2 hours to print it and it doesn’t need any post-processing.
For me, innovation means easier, not more complex, specially when we are talking about a limited technology such as 3D printing. Following the less is more idea, I’ve used a faceted style to simplify the printing process, creating this Star Wars souvenir. It was designed specially for kids, as printing and assembling the model doesn’t require any extra skills, tools or time. Just print it and enjoy it.

Great news! This is a lot more fair. Hope to see brand new designs! March 21 is still the deadline and a winner is chosen on the 21st as well? Hopefully the jury doesn’t weigh too heavily on votes then for the sake of the late entries. Also you might want to state a specific cut off time on the 21st.
Yes I will re-enter Simona, but I am working on a new one specifically for this competition - I have probably 50 or so I could enter that have been made previously, but that doesn’t require alot of effort and there’s no fun in that, also I think more exciting to see new designs from others also - so far all the entries are ones I’ve seen many times on other sites, so yeah it would be good to have a refreshing load of new starwars models come from this if anything. :p.
Ok today I got my H-bridge, I will update the youmagine page, waiting for my bluetooth module
I am De-entering the competition as well.
For the same reasons as Geoff_Wicks: I have made these models in the past and not specifically for the contest so i feel kinda weird about that.
Plus all the fuss about the contest kinda sapped my moral so i don’t want to be a part of it anymore.
I’m still gonna let my designs available on Youmagine for people to enjoy. I usually post only on MyMiniFactory but what the hell… I might as well let these here.
I’m withdrawing my entries. See comment bellow to know why.
I don’t have one design… but THREE 
The famous A-Wing that destroyed the Super Destroyer in Return of The Jedi:

So so so so so soooooo cool! Do you think it would be possible to make it a little bit bigger without changing the electronics?
Yep it would work without any problems.
Maybe the hole for the ultrasonic sensor could be too much large after scaling (not an hard problem to solve).
Hi everyone !
Here is my design entry for the contest : let me introduce to you guys Gasgano’s racing pod ! (seen in Star Wars Ep1 Pod Race Lap 2 (Deleted Scene), and also in the N64 Star Wars Episode 1 : Racer)
Because pod racers are so cool and crazy 
I removed original strings because they looked ugly, and replaced them with filament chutes. Looks much better and way more solid.
It would probably have looked way better and detailed if printed bigger (I printed it 5% scale).
STL file attached.
Hope you like it, enjoy and good luck to everyone =)

I’d like to participate with my Jedi Holocron Cube, one of my favorite Star Wars related items. It was designed to be very easy to print, no support/rafts/etc, while allowing for a lot of customization regarding post-printing finishing options. Inside is a 1"x1"x1" space for adding lighting effects. In the photo I printed the internal cube in transparent PTEG, and the side panels in white ABS. After printing the side panels were spray painted with 24k gold acrylic. 3 side panels are attached to each half of the internal cube. Everything was printed at 200 micron, the internal cube was printed with 0% infill, and the side panels 100% infill, and It took about 12 hours. It was designed to take advantage of a 3D printers ability to repeatably make complex object, print in place small push fit pins, and print objects that contain internal voids for electronics.
You can download the files to print the Jedi Holocron Cube, at the following link.
Here is the screen accurate Cosplay prop of the Storm Trooper Officer Pistol (SE-44C) I designed and printed. I originally designed this for the 501st Legion but decided I’d also enter it into the competition!
There are to many parts to just upload them to the post so here is the link! I’ve attached an image showing my print next to the actual screen prop picture.

I do see an issue with people entering a tonne of previously made designs, as it gives newer designers little chance to compete.
If I had created the comp (I wish…) it would have been the following criteria:
1. The model must be created for the comp (otherwise we’ve seen it all anyway - if you are into 3D printing chances are all of these are not new)
2. Only 1 entry per person.
3. Winner decided soley by 3DHubs and not how many friends you can get to come and upvote you.
Good to see they got 1 out of 3 right so far. Here’s hoping for the next comp.
hi everyone just got my prints back from a very kind friend of a friend with a printer so here are my luke and vader mini figures I’m entering for this contest that I designed on tinkercad. this is link
