Pimoroni Badgeware Cyberdecks

🏁 Starting: November 09, 2026, Ending: December 09, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from November 09, 2026 to December 09, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) kit, Picade mini arcade machine + 8GB Raspberry Pi 5, Power Supply and micro SD card. Second place: 1750 Prusameters, Tufty 2350 and Badger STEM Kits. Third place: 1400 Prusameters, Tufty 2350 and Badger STEM Kits. For this contest, we’re teaming up with Pimoroni - the Sheffield makers behind colourful little boards, kits, and all kinds of electronic fun. Take one of their Badgeware boards and build something around it with 3D printing! 👾 Not familiar with Badgeware yet? It’s Pimoroni’s family of small programmable boards built around displays, buttons, LEDs, and cool features. They’re made for little projects, experiments, games, dashboards, and all sorts of tiny devices. There are three main Badgeware boards to choose from: Tufty 2350 – a 2.8" colour IPS display, great for games and animations. Badger 2350 – a 2.7" e-paper display, well suited for badges and information displays. Blinky 2350 – a bright white LED matrix for text, pixel art, and simple notifications. All three are based on the RP2350 and include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, five buttons, a battery, and a Qw/ST connector for adding extra hardware. You can browse all of these boards and accessories here: Pimoroni Badgeware. The Challenge Pick a Pimoroni Badgeware board and turn it into your own cyberdeck. What that cyberdeck looks like is up to you. Useful, weird, cute, practical, retro or futuristic? All of it works! It can be a handheld game, a tiny arcade, a desktop display, a control panel, a small terminal or a digital companion. If you want to go further, you can add buttons, sensors, lights, controls, or other hardware. You can find the available boards and optional hardware in the Pimoroni Badgeware collection. But you don’t need any extra electronics to take part. A Badgeware board and a good 3D printed idea can be enough. Getting the hardware If you’d like to get your own Badgeware board, Pimoroni is offering 20% off everything in the Badgeware collection for the duration of the contest. Use the code PRUSA20 at checkout, or use this discount link . The discount is valid until December 9 at 11:59 PM GMT. Don’t have the board yet? You can still start designing. Pimoroni has a blank Badgeware reference model on Printables that you can use to build your model around.Ends in 30 days

🏆 Designer Challenge: Vises

🏁 Starting: November 01, 2026, Ending: November 22, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from October 1, 2026 to November 22, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Original Prusa MK4S kit, ​ Second place: 1050 Prusameters. ​ Third place: 700 Prusameters. ​ The next round of the Designer Challenge is here! Each month, our Designer of the Month picks a theme for a community contest and helps us choose the winners. For November, our Designer of the Month is LoboCNC, and the theme he picked is Vises! The Challenge Design a 3D printable vise (or other holding tool) that keeps an object securely in place while you work on it. It can be a classic bench vise, a small vise for electronics, a PCB holder, a modeling vise, a precision clamp, or something made for one very specific task. Think about how quickly it can be adjusted, how easily the workpiece can be positioned, and whether the tool can adapt to different shapes and sizes. You can focus on: quick-adjust mechanisms desk or table mounting adjustable angles or ball joints specialized jaws TPU or other gripping surfaces Quick Adjust Half-Nut Vise model is a good example: it uses a half-nut mechanism for fast adjustment, a desk clamp, an adjustable ball joint, and TPU friction pads. You do not need to use the same solution. A simple vise that does one job really well can be a perfectly valid entry. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Vacuum Base for Hobby ViseEnds in 13 days

CoralBoard™ Cases & Mounts

🏁 Starting: October 20, 2026, Ending: November 19, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from October 20, 2026 to November 19, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) kit, Synaptics Coralboard SL. Second place: 1750 Prusameters, Synaptics Coralboard SL. Third place: 1400 Prusameters, Synaptics Coralboard SL. CoralBoard Cases & Mounts AI does not always have to run in the cloud. Coral is a platform from Google Research focused on running AI directly on devices, where models can process data locally instead of sending everything up to a server. The new Synaptics Coralboard is a development board built around this idea. It uses Synaptics hardware together with Coral NPU technology from Google Research and is made for experimenting with on-device AI. You can connect cameras, displays, audio, and other hardware to build the whole projects around it. And that also means it needs something that makers are very good at: cases, mounts, stands, and all the other parts that a bare development boards need to do their job. The challenge Design a 3D printable case, mount, stand, or other practical accessory for the Coralboard. The main goal is to create something that works around the board itself and helps protect it, mount it, position it, or integrate it into a project. A few ideas to get you started: Protective cases and enclosures Desk, wall, or VESA-style mounts Stands and brackets Cable management Simple housings for demos and prototypes A well-designed case or mount that solves one clear problem is exactly what we are looking for. More advanced projects are welcome too. If you want to build a complete smart camera setup, demo station, sensor project, or another functional device around the Coralboard, go for it. However, this is an optional direction, not a requirement for the participation. You don't need a Coralboard to participate Official reference CAD files are provided on Coral Printables account so you can design around the board dimensions, mounting points, ports, connectors, and other important areas. Use these files as the base for your design and make sure the parts that need to stay accessible stay accessible. What we're looking for Your design should make sense for real use. Think about how the board will be mounted, how cables will connect, whether ports remain accessible, and how the final model will be printed and assembled. If you use additional hardware such as screws, magnets or other parts, list them clearly in the model description. And as always, good documentation helps.Ends in 10 days

Halloween 2026: Make It Move 🎃

First place Original Prusa MK4S kit, lifetime Shapr3D licence. ​ Second place 1050 Prusameters, lifetime Shapr3D licence. ​ Third place 700 Prusameters, lifetime Shapr3D licence. ​ Honorable mention: 500 Prusameters, one-year Shapr3D licence. 🏁 Starting: October 16, 2026, Ending: November 01, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from September 01, 2026 to November 01, 2026 23:59 UTC. 👻 Something strange is moving on Printables this Halloween. 👻 Our yearly Halloween Flash Contest is back, but this time it comes with a mechanical twist. We’re teaming up with Shapr3D and 3DPrintingDoctor for a special edition of this flash contest - with a much bigger prize pool than usual, and some of the best entries making their way from Printables all the way to 3DPrintingDoctor’s channel. So this year, a spooky model is not enough. Make something that refuses to sit still! The challenge Design a Halloween model with at least one functional or mechanical element. Make it move, open, spin, click, fold, snap or slide. Your model could use hinges, joints, lids, gears, moving parts, print-in-place features, or any other functional detail. A candy box with a strange opening mechanism? A pumpkin that moves when you turn a handle? A ghost with articulated joints? You get the idea. The mechanical element should be a real part of the design. We’ll be looking for models where the function and the Halloween theme work well together. Designed in Shapr3D? You do not need to use Shapr3D to enter the contest. You can design your model using whichever tools you prefer! But if you’d like to give it a try, you can use the 14-day free trial and design your entry in Shapr3D (with no commitment) or use special 10% discount code created for this contest PRUSAHALLOWEEN10. Best models are going to 3DPrintingDoctor! Here’s another thing that makes this Flash Contest a little different. 3DPrintingDoctor will select, print, and feature the best entries on his channel, so your model might end up getting a little more screen time than the average Halloween monster. See how the hero model was made For an inspiration, Shapr3D created this Halloween cat container with a pass-through thread fidget mechanism as an example of the kind of functional twist we’re looking for. In the video, you can see how the model was designed and how the moving element works. Keep it open To qualify for the contest, your model needs be published under one of the open Creative Commons licenses available on Printables. This allows the designs to be printed, shared, and featured as part of the contest and its related content. And as always - clear photos or renders, useful print instructions, assembly steps, and a good description will all help others understand what your creation is supposed to do. How the entries will be judged The final judging will be done by 3DPrintingDoctor, using the following scoring system for a total of 100 points: Creativity & Originality – 25 points Unique, imaginative, and original ideas. Halloween Spirit – 20 points How strongly the design connects to the spooky or festive Halloween theme. Printability & Practicality – 15 points How well the model is prepared for 3D printing, including supports, size, and material considerations. Aesthetic & Quality – 20 points Overall visual appeal, finish, and design quality. Functionality – 20 points The model should include a useful or interactive feature, such as a moving part, wearable element, practical function, or multi-purpose design.🏁 Ended

Thrustmaster Custom Shifter Knob

🏁 Starting: October 05, 2026, Ending: November 04, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from September 01, 2026 to November 04, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) kit, Thrustmaster T248R + TH8S shifter pack. Second place: 1750 Prusameters, Thrustmaster T128 + TH8S shifter pack. Third place: 1400 Prusameters, Thrustmaster T98 + TH8S shifter pack. Shift Your Style: Custom Shifter Knobs A shifter knob is a relatively small part of a sim setup, but it is also one of the parts you use most often while racing. It can change how the shifter feels in your hand and how the whole setup looks. Brands like Thrustmaster make dedicated shifters for sim racing, and for this contest we’re focusing on the TH8S Shifter! Using the official TH8S adapter, your task is to design a custom 3D printable shifter knob or attachment that makes shifting more comfortable, more practical... or just more fun. The challenge Design a 3D printable shifter knob or attachment made specifically for the TH8S Shifter. Your model should work with the official TH8S adapter, be easy to mount, and stay within the provided compatibility specifications. Other than that, the direction is up to you. You can keep it practical and focus on grip, shape, comfort, or control, or take the design in a different direction. A Formula-style grip, fighter jet control stick, spaceship throttle, medieval sword hilt, or something nobody has thought of yet. And as always - you do not need to own a TH8S to participate! To help you get started Thrustmaster has provideded 3D model of the TH8S adapter on their official Printables profile here. Use these files as the base for your design and make sure the final model fits the provided adapter. What we’re looking for The best entries should combine a great idea with usability. Your design can be creative, funny, or practical, but it should still make sense as something you would actually use while shifting. Think about: grip and comfort shape and size texture easy mounting stability during use printability how the design changes the look or feel of the TH8S🏁 Ended

ColorMix Models

🏁 Starting: October 02, 2026, Ending: October 18, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from September 01, 2026 to October 18, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusament PLA ColorMix Bundle (7x1kg). Second place: Prusament PLA ColorMix Bundle (5x1kg). Third place: Prusament PLA CMYK Bundle (4x1kg). We recently introduced Prusament PLA ColorMix - a set of filaments made for creating new color shades by mixing colors directly in a multi-material print. With cyan, magenta, yellow, white, and black, you can create up to 45 shades, and you can also add Gold or Silver Glitter for a different look. Now we need more models to print with it. ❤️ For this flash contest, we want you to design or prepare models that make good use of the ColorMix feature. The challenge Create a model that benefits from color mixing and upload a colored 3MF prepared for a multi-material setup such as MMU, XL / XL+, or CORE One+ with INDX 4T / 8T. Your 3MF must use at least one virtual extruder with a mixed color. When you upload your model to Printables, please also add the #ColorMix tag so everyone can easily find and feature ColorMix-ready models. No need to own a multi-tool printer for this challenge You do not need to own a multi-tool printer or even print the model yourself to participate. A screenshot from PrusaSlicer is enough for the contest presentation, as long as the model itself is printable. You also do not have to use only our ColorMix filament bundles. You can suggest your own combinations using any suitable PLA, PETG, Woodfill, glitter filament, or anything you like. And remixes are welcome too. You can take an existing model that was originally designed without color and prepare your own ColorMix version. About the colors Our Prusament PLA ColorMix bundles are an easy starting point, but they are not required. The basic palette can be built around Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and White, with Black added for more shades. You can also bring in Gold or Silver Glitter, or go in a completely different direction with your own filament combination. The important part is that the mixed colors are used intentionally and add something to the final model. Need help getting started? We prepared a Help article explaining how to color models for ColorMix and how to set up the mixed virtual extruders in PrusaSlicer. Extra motivation The winners will receive Prusament ColorMix filament bundles, so they can print their designs using the filament combinations we developed and tested specifically for this feature. And there is one more bonus: we will print the winning models here at Prusa HQ and photograph them for you. We will then send the photos to the winners so they can use them when presenting their ColorMix designs on Printables.🏁 Ended

Your model can be made for tools, hobby supplies, electronics, office items, 3D printing accessories, or anything else that makes sense hanging on the wall. It can be one small holder designed for a specific item, a modular organizer, or a bigger system with multiple parts. Just make sure it works with a pegboard. Think about how securely it attaches to the pegboard, how easy it is to take things in and out, and if the model is easy to print. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Xbox Controller Stand for Pegboard🏁 Ended

Halloween Party: 3D Design Contest🎃

Print Your Dark Gear and Bring Your Creativity to Life This Halloween! This Halloween, let’s skip the boring specs and talk about making a stunning entrance in the dark! Whether you want to roll through the streets with a ghostly ride you built yourself, or light up your windows with a glowing jack-o'-lantern, MAKEROAD is giving you the ultimate stage to shine. ✨ Three Tracks to Unleash Your Inner Monster 1. 🎭 Halloween Wearables ● Horror Aesthetics: Masks, headdresses, and shoulder armor inspired by skeletons, vampires, witches, and zombies. Focus on visual impact and the ritual of wearing them—these are more than just accessories; they are your VIP pass to the spookiest party of the year. ● Interactive & Articulated: Wearable accessories with movable joints, such as wings, tails, and claw gloves. Designed to work with basic hardware, so you can "wear it, move it, and spook everyone!" We want prints that are wearable, posable, and undeniably scary. 2. 🚤 Halloween RC Builds ● Ghost Rides: Halloween-themed mod shells compatible with MAKEROAD’s official RC car kits. Think skeleton chariots, pumpkin battle cars, or ghost school buses. Bring the chassis to life with shells that boast smart part-splitting, easy assembly, and high visibility for your nighttime cruising. ● Pumpkin Boats: Halloween-themed hulls compatible with MAKEROAD’s official RC boat kits. Ghost pirate ships, jack-o'-lantern floats, swamp monster vessels... These designs must balance sailing stability with festive styling for a terrifying splash on the water! 3. 🎃 Halloween Display & Decor ● Dark Ambiance: Festive decorations like jack-o'-lanterns, tombstones, bat swarms, and spider webs to set the mood. ● Collectibles & Toys: Articulated Halloween-themed figurines, miniature dioramas, and desktop landscaping kits. Balancing playability with display quality, so the Halloween spirit lasts all year round as the ultimate dark aesthetic collection. 🛠 Contest Requirements ● Functionality First: Designs must fit the Halloween use case. Wearables need size specs; RC mods require assembly instructions for our official kits; decor should include recommended print settings (layer height, supports, filament type). ● Bonus for Creativity: Share your design inspiration, structural ingenuity, or a fun Halloween backstory in your description! ● File Requirements: Complex designs must include clear assembly instructions (PDF or GIF) to ensure the community can recreate your dark masterpiece. Let the dark, the candlelight, and your 3D prints awaken this Halloween! Fire up your printers and start creating now!⏳ Reviewing

Logitech MX Keyboard Adaptive Add-ons

🏁 Starting: September 20, 2026, Ending: October 19, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from September 20, 2026 to October 19, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) kit, €500 Voucher for the Logitech Online Store. Second place: 1750 Prusameters, €300 Voucher for the Logitech Online Store. Third place: 1400 Prusameters, €150 Voucher for the Logitech Online Store. Honorable mention: 500 Prusameters. Many people use a keyboard every day. But not everyone uses it the same way, and not every hand, wrist, arm, or workspace needs the same setup. Together with Logitech, we’re inviting you to design 3D printable add-ons for the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboards that make typing more accessible, comfortable, or easier to adapt to different needs. Logitech has already explored this idea with their 3D printable adaptive add-ons for the Pebble Mouse, where designers created printable parts to support different hand mobility needs. Now we’re bringing a similar idea to the MX keyboard line - keyboards that many people already use at home or at work, making them a good starting point for this challenge. The challenge Design a 3D printable modification, support, mount, keycap add-on, or assistive attachment for the Logitech MX Mechanical keyboards. Your design might help reduce a physical barrier, improve comfort, or make the keyboard easier to use for someone with limited mobility, reduced dexterity, one-handed use, different reach, or another specific need. Here are a few directions you can take: Ergonomic Support & Comfort Designs that make typing more comfortable for daily use. This can include custom wrist rests, palm gliders, forearm cradles, typing elevation stands, or other support parts. Typing & Keycap Mods Add-ons that make individual keys or groups of keys easier to find, press, or use. This can include oversized keycaps, tactile or high-contrast key markers, low-force actuator levers, or guides for limited dexterity. Desk Integration & Positioning Solutions that help place the keyboard where the user needs it. This can include desk-clamp mounts, wheelchair tray mounts, low-friction sliders, angle adjusters, or other positioning aids. You do not need to solve every accessibility need at once. A strong design can focus on one clear use case and solve it well. Reference files To help you design your model, Logitech has provided a simplified 3D CAD dummy files of the MX Mechanical keyboard on their official Printables profile here. Use these files as a reference for the keyboard shape, size, and key areas around which your add-on should fit. Your design does not need to modify the keyboard itself. Please read Logitech’s Legal Disclaimer in the Terms & Conditions section (under the “submit your design” button) before starting. By submitting designs to this competition you agree to Logitech’s Legal disclaimer. Design requirements 1) Keep it non-destructive Your model must not require opening, drilling, or permanently modifying the keyboard. It should clip on, clamp around, slide under, attach magnetically, or use another reversible method without damaging the device. (Modifications are done so at users risk. Logitech does not provide support for these as per our legal disclaimer) 2) Keep it printable The model should be printable on a standard FDM or SLA 3D printer using common materials such as PLA, PETG, or TPU. Flexible TPU is especially welcome for grips, rests, and other comfort-focused parts. 3) Share editable source files Please include a STEP file or another editable / parametric source file, such as Fusion 360, OpenSCAD, or Onshape. This will make it easier for others to adapt the design to their own needs. If your model requires non-printed parts, such as screws, rubber bands, magnets, or heat-set inserts, list them clearly and link to common, affordable hardware where possible. 4) Use the starter file Your design should be based on the official Logitech MX Mechanical reference files provided on the Logitech Printables profile. 5) Explain who it helps In the model description, explain what accessibility need your design is trying to solve and how it should be used. Please also include clear assembly instructions and relevant tags, for example #OneHanded, #LowGrip, or #WheelchairMount. Accessibility is personal, so the more clearly you explain the use case, the easier it will be for others to understand and build on your idea.🏁 Ended

Custom Spoolholder Caps

First place 1000 Prusameters Second place 700 Prusameters Third place 500 Prusameters 🏁 Starting: September 18, 2026, Ending: October 04, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from September 01, 2026 to October 04, 2026 23:59 UTC. Custom Spoolholder Caps We recently introduced a new spoolholder design for the Original Prusa XL and CORE One+. It is better suited for heavier spools (including 2kg ones) and the spool can be locked in place, which makes loading material easier. The production version is injection-molded, and we also released an FDM-printable version for users who already have an XL or CORE One+ and want to upgrade their setup. And now there is one small detail left for the community to play with: the front cap! For this flash contest, we’re inviting you to design your own custom cap for the injection-molded Prusa spoolholder. It’s a small part of the printer, but it’s the kind of detail that could turn into a popular desing: simple and fun to print. Add colors, numbers, labels, logos, patterns, or whatever else you can fit in there. The original cap model is available on Printables here.

Makeup has a special talent for taking over drawers, shelves, bags, and large parts of our bathrooms. Brushes, pencils, palettes, tubes and tiny jars are everywhere. For this flash contest, we’re looking for practical 3D printable makeup organizers. Design something that helps keep makeup sorted, visible, and easy to use - in a bathroom, on a vanity table, or in a professional makeup artist’s kit. It could be holders, inserts, racks, trays, dividers, or systems made specifically for makeup products. The model should make sense for real use: different product sizes, easy access, stable storage, and simple cleaning. Makeup can be messy, so avoid dirt traps where powder, cream, or glitter will live forever. Keep it useful, printable, and focused on the theme. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Makeup Organizer🏁 Ended

Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard Re-Use

🏁 Starting: September 01, 2026, Ending: September 30, 2026 23:59 UTC. ​ 📅 Entries: from September 01, 2026 to September 30, 2026 23:59 UTC. ​ ​ First place: Prusa CORE One+ (Gen 2) kit, Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard (Series 3 Intel® Core™ 5 320) (RAM, SSD, and WiFi card included). ​ Second place: 1750 Prusameters, Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard (i5-1334U) (RAM, SSD, and WiFi card included). ​ Third place: 1400 Prusameters, Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard (i3-1315U) (RAM, SSD, and WiFi card included). ​ Honorable mention: 500 Prusameters Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard (i3-1315U) (RAM, SSD, and WiFi card included). Framework laptops are built to last and designed to be upgraded and repaired as needed. But, what happens to the old mainboard when it’s replaced? In this contest we want you to answer exactly that. What can a mainboard become when it’s no longer inside a laptop? Together with Framework, we’re inviting you to design 3D printable cases, mounts, stands, cyberdecks, desk setups, or accessories that turn the Laptop 12 Mainboard into a useful standalone computer. It can be a clean mini desktop case, a wall mount, a vertical stand, a media server enclosure, a retro terminal, a desk-mounted setup, or anything else. As long as the design gives the Mainboard a safe and useful new home, it is valid entry. The challenge Design a 3D printable case, mount, stand, or accessory for the Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard. Your model should securely hold or support the Mainboard and make it usable as a standalone computer. It should be clear how the board is mounted, how the ports are accessed, and how the design is meant to be used. Framework provides all the reference files, on their Printables profile so there is nothing in your way to start: Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard CAD / STL Framework Laptop 12 Battery CAD / STL Framework Laptop Expansion Card You can build a simple enclosure or little funny computer that looks like from 1998. Design requirements Your design should follow these rules: Hold the Mainboard securely The design must safely house or support the Framework Laptop 12 Mainboard. Keep the ports accessible The four USB-C ports should remain accessible in a way that makes sense for your design. Keep the power button accessible The on/off switch on the Mainboard must remain usable, either directly or through a mechanical button built into the model. Do not block cooling The Mainboard already has its own cooling solution, so you do not need to add active cooling. Just make sure your design does not block airflow or trap heat. Use any mounting method that works The Mainboard includes four captive screw mounts. These are included in the CAD files, but you can use any mounting method if it is safe and makes sense.🏁 Ended

🏁 Starting: September 01, 2026, Ending: September 22, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from August 1, 2026 to September 22, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Original Prusa MK4S kit, Second place: 1050 Prusameters. Third place: 700 Prusameters. The third round of the Designer Challenge is here! Each Designer of the Month chooses a theme for a three-week community contest and helps us pick the winners once the contest ends. This time, the theme "Magic tricks!" was chosen by our September Designer of the Month, Meister Edel. He wanted to create a theme especially suitable for children: something playful, surprising, and fun to print, but also something that can make people curious about how things work. The challenge Your task is to design a 3D printable model inspired by magic. It can be a trick, a prop, a small illusion, or anything else that feels a little magical once it is printed and used. A good entry should do more than just look mysterious. It should invite someone to pick it up, try it, ask questions, or discover a hidden principle behind it. Maybe it uses water, magnets, movement, balance, reflection, gravity, air pressure, or a mechanical detail. That is the spirit of this challenge: create something that can entertain, surprise, and maybe teach a little bit along the way. Please keep the models safe, printable, and suitable for children or family use. Avoid sharp objects, or anything that could be unsafe without adult supervision. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: HydroHokus – Endless Water Trick Lota Vase🏁 Ended

Third place: 700 Prusameters. Our first Designer Challenge is finished, and now it’s time for the next round! Each Designer of the Month chooses a theme for a three-week community contest and helps us pick the winners once the contest ends. This time, the theme was chosen by our August Designer of the Month, Thorin Oakenshield. Thorin’s models often explore movement, gears, and playful mechanical details, so this challenge is all about geared spinners. The challenge Design a 3D printable spinner that uses gears as a visible or functional part of the model. It can be a fidget spinner, a hand spinner, a print-in-place mechanism, or a small desk toy - but it should clearly be built around spinning motion and gears. Focus on smooth movement, satisfying interaction and clean printing. Design something that feels good to use. You can use bearings, screws, magnets, weights, or other common hardware if your design needs them, but make sure to list all non-printed parts clearly in the model description. Please keep the theme focused: this challenge is not for general gearboxes, machines, clocks, or any random model with a gear somewhere inside. The main idea should be a spinner with gears as an important part of the design. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Gear fidget spinner🏁 Ended

Beekeeping Tools & Upgrades 🐝

🏁 Starting: August 01, 2026, Ending: August 31, 2026 23:59 UTC. 📅 Entries: from July 01, 2026 to August 31, 2026 23:59 UTC. First place: Prusa CORE One+ kit, INFINITY Hive Dadant Blatt/Dadant US or Langstroth Second place: 1750 Prusameters. Poly-Hive Dadant Blatt/Dadant US or Langstroth Third place: 1400 Prusameters. Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for beekeepers. Hives are active, and there is always something to sort, clean, repair, or improve. At Prusa we’ve been keeping bees at our HQ for years and even harvest our own Prusahoney.🍯 So a beekeeping-themed Printables contest felt like a great fit. The challenge For this contest, we’re teaming up with P-Hive, an Italian company creating innovative hives and beekeeping solutions. Together, we’re inviting makers, beekeepers, and anyone curious about bees to design practical 3D printed tools, accessories, hive add-ons, and upgrades that can make life a little easier for beekeepers and better for the bees. You can design a general beekeeping helper, such as a frame tool, feeder accessory, queen marking aid, hive ventilation part, honey bucket rack, transport helper, scraper holder, organizer, measuring aid, or any other useful print for work around the hive. You can also create a modification, add-on, or improvement for P-Hive products. P-Hive has already shared several dimensioned models on their Printables profile, which can be used as a starting point for new ideas and custom solutions. The most interesting projects may also be featured in P-Hive’s collections! Printables Inspiration Hive Tool Handle Honey Bucket Rack Filling Machine Hanimandl Beehive Vent P-Hive Landing Board Queen’s Box P-Hive Whether you’re an experienced beekeeper, or a weekend maker, we’d love to see what you come up with. Safety and practical notes Not every beekeeping part is a good fit for 3D printing. For this contest, we recommend focusing on tools, accessories, holders, adapters, organizers, protective parts, measuring aids, and other helper items. Please be careful with parts that come into direct contact with honey, wax, food, or the inside of an active hive. Also think about the real conditions around a hive: summer heat, direct sun, rain, humidity, cleaning, propolis, wax, and repeated handling. Choose suitable materials, avoid hard-to-clean gaps, and make sure your design is safe for both bees and beekeepers.🏁 Ended

Together with Kondor Blue and Autodesk Fusion, we’re inviting all designers and filmmakers to create practical camera mounts and accessories that solve real problems on set, in a studio, or anywhere people build and use camera rigs. If you want to know more, watch the video here! Prototype to Product The main winner will receive the usual prizes from Printables and generous Kondor Blue store credit, but this contest goes further: their design will also be selected for further development with Kondor Blue, with the goal of turning it into a real metal product. The journey from printed prototype to finished product will be documented in a video series “Prototype to Product” by Cowabunga Creation and shared on our Printables channels. So make sure you don't miss it! The contest will run for 45 days, giving you enough time to design, test, print, improve, and submit something truly useful. The challenge Design a camera mount or accessory that could become a real product. We’re looking for designs that can make camera setups easier to build, adjust, carry, organize, or use. Solve real workflow problems: reducing rig clutter, saving time on set, improving how accessories are mounted, or making a camera setup cleaner and more reliable. Your design should work with common filmmaking and camera rig standards. Kondor Blue has shared their design standards on their Printables profile, giving you a useful starting point for creating accessories that fit real camera-rig workflows. Suggested categories include: camera mounts and brackets rod accessories lightweight cheese plates tool holders media-card organizers storage solutions cable management parts cold shoe accessories quick mounting blocks accessories for Kondor Blue’s Mini Rail standard These are only starting points. If you see a real problem in a camera setup and have a better solution for it, that’s exactly what we want to see. What we’re looking for The best entries should be simple, useful, and realistic. A great submission should solve a clear problem, be easy to understand, and make sense as both a 3D printed prototype and a potential manufactured product. It does not have to be complicated. In fact, clean and thoughtful designs are often the strongest ones. Bonus points for designs that are: easy to print strong and durable fast to use lightweight modular compatible with existing camera rig standards possible to manufacture without unnecessary complexity Please avoid electronics, batteries, wiring, camera-specific parts that only fit one model, remixes of existing commercial products, or overly niche solutions with limited real-world use. Entry requirements Each entry should include: STL file, STEP file, at least one photo of a printed proof-of-concept, a short description explaining what problem the design solves, information about which mounting standard or Kondor Blue reference it uses. Important notes This contest is focused on mechanical camera accessories and mounting solutions. Please do not submit designs involving electronics, wiring, PCBs, batteries, or anything that could create safety risks for camera equipment or users. Make sure your design is original and does not copy existing commercial products or third-party IP. Your printed prototype does not need to be production-ready, but it should clearly show that the idea works and can be tested in real life. Think of it as a proof of concept that could grow into something bigger.🏁 Ended

Towels everywhere, hoses in the way, toys drifting around… It’s part of summer life - but also something that could use a little bit of 3D printing. For this flash contest, we’re looking for poolside accessories: practical prints for maintenance, storage, comfort, small repairs, or fun around the water. You can design skimmer baskets and covers, hose clips and adapters, filter helpers, replacement caps, hooks for towels or nets, holders for brushes and chemicals, toy storage, floating designs for games or drinks, or a fix for that plastic part that always breaks. Please keep in mind that pool prints may be exposed to sun, heat, water, and chemicals, so choose materials accordingly and avoid anything that could create a safety risk in or around the pool. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Pool Waterfall🏁 Ended

Summer Maker Fest – 3D Print & Play Outdoor Challenge

Summer Maker Fest — 3D Print & Play Outdoor Challenge This summer, we’re ditching the dry specs and talking real-world action under the sun! Whether you want to pilot a whimsical boat you built from scratch across the lake, or show off your custom camping gear at the campsite, MAKEROAD provides the ultimate stage for your creativity. ✨ Four Categories to Conquer 1. 🚤 Water Wonders: The Creative Boat Creative Showpieces:​ Hull designs inspired by biomimicry, sci-fi mechs, or fantasy creatures. Focus on visual impact and fun—these aren't just toys, they're perfect photo props for social media and family fun. Functional RC Builds:​ Remote-controlled vessels optimized for MAKEROAD Official Electronics Kits. Prioritize hydrodynamic stability and agile steering to ensure your prints don't just float—they raceacross the water! 2. 🎉 Garden Party Gear Ambiance Setters:​ Portable cup holders, snack trays, and decorative light string stands to instantly elevate any gathering. Game Zone:​ Kids' party props (mini soccer goals, throwing targets) to turn your backyard into a playground. Furniture:​ Foldable outdoor dining tables and chairs that balance utility with easy storage. 3. ⛺ Camping Essentials Lightweight Tools:​ Mini stove racks, utensil organizers, and tent lantern hooks to boost happiness while cutting weight. Practical Accessories:​ Water bottle straps, waterproof phone mounts, and fun campsite signposts to solve outdoor pain points in style. 4. 🏖️ Beach Day Must-Haves Waterproof Gear:​ Phone dry boxes and waterproof key capsules to keep valuables safe. Leisure Accessories:​ Beach chair cup holders, kids' sandcastle molds, and towel clips for ultimate relaxation. Sun Protection:​ Portable parasol stands and sun hat hangers—your thoughtful guardians against the harsh sun. 💡 Creative Spark Guide 🌊 Aqua Adventures:​ How do you make prints buoyant, water-resistant, and wave-proof? 🔥 Built to Last:​ Can your design survive drops, UV exposure, and rough terrain? Lighten the Load:​ How do you maintain structural integrity while reducing weight for easy transport? 🧩 Modular Assembly:​ Can large items be broken down for small-print beds and reassembled quickly on-site? 🛠️ Submission Guidelines Functionality First:​ Entries must suit real-world summer outdoor scenarios, demonstrating strength, weather resistance, and usability. No "display-only" fragile pieces—we want gear that works! Creativity Bonus:​ Share your design inspiration, structural ingenuity, or field test stories​ in the description. Special optimizations for the outdoors (e.g., anti-sink designs, windproof structures) will earn extra favor. Documentation:​ Complex builds require clear assembly instructions (PDF or GIF animation) so the community can recreate your success. Let the sun, the surf, and your 3D prints shine together this summer! Start creating now! 🚀🏁 Ended

It can help with storage, adjust the fit, modify the brim, extend the back strap, or add something unnecessary (like a tiny propeller). Keep it printable, wearable, and clear about what type of cap it fits.

Each Designer of the Month chooses a theme for a three-week community contest and after the contest ends, the designer helps us pick the winners.🏆 Want to learn more about the designer behind the challenge? Read the full interview here. The first designer challenge: modular drawer system Your system should let users build their own setup from separate drawer modules. The design can include stackable drawers, side-by-side connections, pegboard mounts, desk attachments, or extra add-ons that can be printed later. Different drawer sizes, label holders, interchangeable parts, mounting options, and expansion pieces are all welcome. You can also experiment with the opening mechanism. A simple handle works, as does a sliding latch, a push-push lock, or another solution. The important part is that the design stays modular and expandable. Users should be able to adapt it to their own workspace. 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: Skadis Modular Storage Organizer🏁 Ended

Open Sauce brings together makers, engineers, creators, strange machines, homemade robots, backyard rockets, and weird internet experiments ...aaand it's a great match for a Printables challenge. The 2026 event takes place July 17–19 at the San Mateo County Event Center in California. So if you’re nearby, stop by and say hello at our booth. :-) Challenge This time, we’re bringing the Printables community into a real arena with a challenge built around 3D printed spinning battle tops. Design a 3D printable spinning battle top that can be launched, survive a hit, and keep fighting in the arena like this one from stlDenise! Your model should be ideally launched with a pull-strip or ripcord-style mechanism. Pay attention to weight distribution, contact points, stability, impact resistance, and how the top behaves when it meets another one at full speed. This one can leave the screen! If you’re coming to Open Sauce in California, you’ll have a chance to bring your printed battle top and compete with it live in the arena! You can even win some spools of Prusament at the stlDenise booth. If you’re not coming in person, your model can still make it into the action. Someone else may print it, and give it a few seconds of glory in the Open Sauce arena, and we think it's really cool. :-) The arena is waiting! 📸⭐ Hero model of this contest: 3D Printed Fighting Tops🏁 Ended

Silk-like shine, radiant flowing colors —— bring your ideas to life with 3D printing and let your creativity shine smoothly beyond the ordinary! Silk filament boasts a pearlescent luster and a smooth finish, making 3D printing not just for ideas, but more like for art. Whether it’s PLA silk filament or PETG silk filament, they share the same charm — giving your works an inherent sense of premium quality. For many 3D printing enthusiasts, their first stunning piece all started with a spool of silk filament. Now, we invite all 3D printing creators to embark on a "flowing and brilliant" creative journey with unique silk filament. ✨ Inspiration for Your Designs: 🏮 Celebrate Eastern Aesthetics (Traditional patterns, artifacts, architecture, and silk culture) 🚀 Imagine the Future World (Sci-fi props, mechas, and cyberpunk creations) 🏡 Brighten Everyday Life (Home décor, accessories, and creative desk essentials) 🌈 As long as you can unleash the stunning shine of Silk filament in creative ways, that’s exactly the kind of work we’re looking for! 🛠️ Design Requirements Aesthetic Core: The work must fully utilize the gloss and color expression of silk filament, highlighting the "flowing brilliance" visual effect.

In March, designers from 3Demon created a set of great-looking skins for the CORE One L , turning the printer into three very different things: a TARDIS , a dark steampunk machine , and a small mushroom forest scene . We liked the idea a lot. The CORE One printers have a clean, compact shape, and they feel like a perfect base for more decorations, add-ons, and mods - something that can take on a life of its own in the hands of the Printables community. Design a printable look for the CORE One+ or CORE One L: decorative covers, themed panels, magnetic accessories, frame add-ons, button covers, small props, or a full transformation of the printer into something completely different. It can be sci-fi, fantasy, industrial, cute, minimal, strange, practical, or something out of this world. You can use the CORE One and CORE One L CAD files released under our new Open Community License 1.0.. Simply load the files into your preferred 3D modeling software and build around the printer model! We have just one important rule: make sure the design does not limit the printer’s functionality. The door must still open properly, controls should remain accessible, and nothing should interfere with printing or ventilation. Take the CORE One and give it a character others can print, remix, and build on. Read more info in our article!
