Star Wars 3D Design and Print Competition

[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

It looks like peace has been restored again

Will up votes still be considered by the panel of judges? Will someone with say 1000 up votes have a higher chance of winning than someone with 0?

[Simona]

They will be taken in account as a mention of honour from the community

[Mo3D]

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.

haha +1 for the happy meal comment

[Geoff_Wicks]

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.

[Laura_Patricia]

I absolutely agree with you and hope you win!!!

[Sturnino]

Ok today I got my H-bridge, I will update the youmagine page, waiting for my bluetooth module

[StarJeff]

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.

[StarJeff]

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:

Anakin and Luke Skywalker Lightsaber… with internal parts!. Build you own lightsaber like a true Jedi:

Life-Size Boba Fett’s EE3 Carabine. Chase the rebel scum with this powerful rifle (perfect for cosplay):

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?

[Sturnino]

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.
