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.
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
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.
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.

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.

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
One of my favourite Star wars characters is Count Dooku, especially the Clone Wars version, and I have been wanting to sculpt one for a while now, so here it goes. It was 3d sculpted using ZBrush and 3d printed on a Zortrax m200, then Hand painted using Vallejo paints!
The project was supposed to be a study after the original sculpt of Darren E. Marshall a challenge to see if I can make it look as close as possible to the original and a huge desire to have that sculpt in my office, I ended up learning so much from this project.
Make sure to check out my Blog for the entire project walkthrough
Hi, I finally printed my design for this competition, I did a little Ewok head to support my Wacom pen, you can also find a version without the hole so you can modify it the way you want.
My entering for the competition is a designed by myself lightsaber. I wanted to do something different for this competition since it is my dream to one day work or participate in a star wars movie or project. The lightsaber consist of six printed parts and takes a total of four hours.
Design is my passion, with this idea in mind I’ve designed a lightsaber thats easy to print and very easy to assemble. So if you like it give me a thumbs up and the force will be forever in your favor!
Do you think the sole reason to enter a competition is to win? I’m here to learn, share my experience, meet new people, promote my blog, promote my hub and I can go on… and when I wrote that my “Zortrax was gathering a bit of dust” I was trying to prove a point, maybe I was to subtle (I’ll try better next time). I really hope you entered the contest and I really hope you win the Ultimaker this way you can stop worrying about people having too many 3d printers in the shop!
It is motorized and remote-controlled to move around and interact.
I’ve made the design in SketchUp, It’s printed half-size so it doesn’t take tons of filament. The robotic platform is Arduino-based so you can add programmable LEDs and sounds.
First my idea was too large and too little time to implement, so I said that the size dosn’t matters and I focus on utility. Too soon I have a ball and decided to make cufflinks for my shirt. I am a fan of Star Wars so of course the cufflinks will be the theme in StarWars. They have been printed with a layer 0.15 in ABS. Everyone knows that the biggest problem is just the smallest prints, so it was this time.
I hope that someone like them and surely someone will use them:)
