Are you ready to start? Read the guidelines below, work on your project and upload it before it’s too late!
Guidelines
Contest theme: design a functional household product or accessory for your everyday life. You are free to approach traditional settings (kitchen, bathroom, bedroom) and users (housewives, kids) or explore new household spaces and unsatisfied domestic needs.
Manufacturing technology: fused filament fabrication. The 3d printer through its extrusion head liquefies and deposit a thermoplastic filament following the tool-path defined by the CAD file. Materials are deposited one layer at a time, and the part is built from the bottom up.
Maximum dimensions: products shall be prototyped using a Kentstrapper 2 Beta so the single part maximum dimensions are 26 × 28 × 19 cm.
Materials: the product will be made of ABS, PLA or other compatible thermoplastics, BUT you can also combine it with other common objects it is possible to find at home: broomsticks, bottles, corks, cans, etc.
Presentation: the function and shape of the product must be clear, add as many images as possible and a short description. The jury may require an .stl file too in order to select the winners.
Additional tip: avoid unnecessary overhang sections and split complicated or too big objects into multiple parts. The simplest solution is often the best solution!
Language
Since we are an international Community, all texts provided with your uploads (abstract, description, tags, etc.) should be written in English.
