Lol it was just a joke. Who knows, you might have needed some more filament too 
ill enter at some point, I was just trying to make something specifically for the competition rather than using an old model.

I created this 3D Printed BB-8 droid!
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.
The video is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ONnFEvNyB_g
Enjoy!
+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.
Here is my entry into the contest (designed and printed for this contest) – A Dejarik holochess game board and holomonster game pieces:
The stls can be downloaded at youmagine.
Attached are some pics.

Hi everyone,
This is my R2-D2 which was designed from scratch and printed off on my Da Vinci AiO printer at 100 microns. I do apologies for such a late entry and fully accept that I may have no chance of winning, but after spending days and days modelling the fantastic R2-D2 I thought I would enter the competition to show my creation.
It was printed in 7 parts, then assembled. The body was glued, with the head, while the legs were connected with joints, allowing it to pivot. All of these files are attached to this comment and may be scaled up to an appropriate size.
After reading a few of the comments I have come across a few complains highlighting that this competition requires a 3D printer in order to win another. I fully understand what many have said, but I would like to say that you may use the 3D hubs service. For future projects that anyone has I would be delighted to offer my assistance with my hub GIFT3D.
I hope that you all enjoy my project
To all over participants, MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU.
