Thanks!
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!
That looks awesome! Are you thinking about post-processing/painting it as well?
Hi Simona,
Is there a specific cut off time on March 21st? You mentioned that the winners will be decided on March 21st so there must be a cut off time in order to give the Ultimaker / 3D Hubs team members enough time to go through all the submissions and decide on the winners.
+1 for NEW DESIGNS

I can’t promise it will be fantastic, but I can promise it will be a new model and not something that was an old project that gets thrown in the hat.
I think the idea of the competition is to enter models you have created yourself.
At least i am honest i did not make all 3 of them, made 1 of them and altered the others to fit bottles to be part of my whisky collection…
I changed rgb led, schematics and code on youmagine
Hi to everyone this is my entry
It’s a R2D2 working with Arduino.
I will keep updating the design (electronic stuff) because many parts are coming in theese days.
Hope you like it.
You need to credit the original artists when you take them. So your true entry is the Lars. You should only apply with that. Taking someone’s model and adding a cylinder isnt that hard…
What a horribly ran contest. Simona obviosuly doesnt care with her copy and paste replies. Bad moderator. Heck there’s no moderation at all as you can see, she doesn’t even actively monitor this contest. I wouldn’t even be surprised they awarded the Ultimaker to a old design. 80% of these entries are old works made prior to this contest. 3dHubs you should be ashamed.
Hi K3,
I’ve read a few of your points which are totally right. I also believed this is competition is terribly ran. Maybe there should be a judging panel, rather than using up votes, as those who enter first have the most time to gain these up votes. I have already been down voted within hours of entering. How can this be fair?
They did say judges will be choosing the winners, but over half of the enteries are old works. If they choose a winner who’s just entered with their old works made prior to the announcement of this contest, I would have lost all respect for both 3DHubs and youimagine for sponsoring this abomination of a contest.
My entry is based on one of those hologram videos - It’s the holoprojector that Qui-Gon Jinn used and I parted it to print easily, the only tricky part to print are the 3 little legs.
I printed them in white and gave them a quick spraypaint to get them the right colour - you could also print them in gold and silver coloured filament, but you’d need to seperate the torus in the main stl file.
The obligatory ‘Help me, Obi-Wan Kenobi. you’re my only hope’ gif added to show its simple effect.

GOOD JOB! Someone that follows contest rules with new creations.
Cool but again made months before this contest. You should make a new low poly star wars for this contest. Btw, my nephews love the low poly pokemons made by you that I printed for them.
