Looks super cool, and a great cause too!

I’ve been checking your work since I got my first 3D printer, and the way your models were displayed was so professional (especially the box!) I got confused more than once thinking it was an official product. You’ve got my vote!
Hi All, this is my pencil top (Obi Wan) pencil top design. I hope you gonna like it!
Please find my KyloRen pencil top design. I hope you like it!
This is not my design, however I thought this may be a good place to share the an outstanding example of what can be done with the 3dhubs community. I printed this for a customer from 3d hubs on our replicator 2, and our client did an amazing job of the finishing the model.
So let this be motivation for all the contest entrants, and makers alike.
Wow!
Hi Everyone.
I designed this Rebel X-wing pilot helmet for Star Wars secret cinema last summer, please excuse the rough finish I was on a pretty tight time scale.
I hope you like it.
P.S. it was my excuse to build my Prusa i3, I’m sure it would be much nicer from an Ultimaker 
You can download the models from youmagine here: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/rebel-x-wing-pilot-helmet 5
Here is a bust of a Duras species I designed in Sculptris. These characters were in several of the movies (Mos Eisley Cantina), the Clone Wars series, and in Battlefront games. Andy-3 Plovers Studios http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1347711

I don’t mean to sound rude but how is this a fair contest? You have an entry deadline of March 21 and most upvotes by then wins. Obviously whoever entered earlier has more of a chance to be seen and get votes. Whereas someone who say enters on March 21, well thanks for playing but you entered for no reason as you don’t stand a chance. Even people who decide to enter now they’ve practically lost. No disrepsect to flowlistik but he already won and might as well give him an ultimaker now as no one who enters later will ever catch up. This contest is flawed. Should be remade and adjusted so voting begins for everyone at a specific date after all entries are collected by entry deadline.
I think Edthomp makes a good point. I started designing my entry as soon as I saw this contest pop up and it’ll be about a week before I’m finished modeling and another week until it is finished printing. It would be a little more even if the submission deadline was on March 21 with a voting period lasting another month (April 21). That would level the playing field for everyone.
Definitely. Seems like those who already have had a star wars model made beforehand has a huge advantage because they can submit their old works. People who decide to create new works after seeing this contest are at a great disadvatage because it takes time to create something new.
De-entering the competition.
None of my things were made for the competition, I think people that create things FOR the comp should enter.
Yep, I agree, I am actually pulling my entries out. They were made ages ago, one of them in 2014.
I wonder why all these maker competitions are designed to be this way. Instructables contests always have a bunch of submissions of things made in the past. Maybe a better format would be to declare the topic and rules of the competition and give a month for makers to prepare their design before opening up submissions? Anyway, just my two cents.
Excuse me, I also participate in this competition and I also do not understand how you can have as many positive vote with a Dath Vader as ugly.
Obviously that you can cheat.
It is not possible that people do not see the real good job!
Good luck in spite of all
I thought this was wrong from the first day of the competition. Entries in the competition should be made for the competition.
I would like a good design competition (there are a few). I can do the design and have access to a printer at work (so I know what works and what doesn’t - but I’m not allowed to use it for personal prints) and would love to have one at home. So, here’s a contest for people who have a printer and they can win a printer. I feel it’s another case of “the rich get richer…” I can see giving away spools to people with printers - that makes sense, but not giving away a printer to people with a printer.
As a post-script - Yes, I enter every competition I can where I can win a printer. I just don’t have the opportunity to enter this one.
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.
This is lovely!
Hi simona, I was wondering if the contest is going to give the price according to upvotes or according to the project, I mean it would be easier to win having many friends, am I wrong?
Sorry if you thought I was rude it was not the goal, excuez me.
I just find that a lot of creation are much better than Vader flowalistik.
After I did not do my sword for this competition it is true, but I finished it just when the competition started.
Now I find that the competition is not fair, it would take an impartial jury in a vote for more and more like
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
