We ran an unofficial contest a few months back, but that never lead to a winner or anything.
A lot of people seemed to have enjoyed it, and since we have a lot of new participants I figured it was a good idea to do a re-run

I hope I get my precious back up&running soon, so I can participate!
But for now I'm stuck with issues...
It happens that I just replied to your thread!
I am expecting an entry from you too @frederiekpascal.. or can you already predict you're not gonna win?
Aha Nice,
now I finally can tell my wife it's worth filling the house with old things!!! Let's find my old entry somewhere. it was small. Might be hard to find......

well I won't be able to win cause my precious is out of service, but watch me (soon)
Found it!!!!
diameter = 19.5 mm..
That is pretty darn small!
As an official rule of the contest I would like to ask you to also upload it in the print section
Testing the embedding of YouTube video.
20.68 mm diameter, 6 mm height
Have to figure out how to do direct mentions of names also.

Just put an @ symbol in front of the persons name @designmaketeach
Thanks @Labern
As the scale decreases on this bearing, it seems like the ability to tolerate axial forces decreases. At a certain level the bearing loses the ability to act as a thrust bearing with even slight axial pressure causing the bearings to start to buckle. At even smaller levels the rotational forces causes individuals bearing to spiral out and the whole thing self destructs. Moving from 5 to 6 bearings helps some.
Even gripping the outer sleeve at these scales can cause it to deform which also causes issues. Definitely challenging.
Told you I will be back with another entry
Here it is!

Edited by Guestwoohw @grpiotr91 That's small.
You just send me back to my techcave 8).. now I can start over again LOL.
edit...
did you alter the model? see you have a little shaft thing instead of a hole?
Edited by GuestI have only added a "shaft" to make it easier to move, while I was going down and down fingers started to be too big
The season of storms was fast approaching and Ultibot realized he had been far from friends and family for far too long. It was time to say goodbye to the Lilliputian bots. It was time to go home. Before Ultibot left, the Lilliputians bots threw him a grand party and the greatest dancer in the land performed The Dance of the Gear Bearing in Ultibot's honor. At the end of the dance, the only thing left to say was goodbye.
Print here. Gear Bearing scaled to 0.249 with a diameter of 12.873mm and a height of 3.73mm. For small scale prints it becomes as much a photography challenge as a small print challenge. Video above shows a mark on the outer rim and a small dancing bot to show that each gear is turning individually and is not stuck in place.
I can't seem to be able to upload my image on ultimaker :/
...
You won the special edition Olsson Block set with your 7.99mm print bearing! Awesome, great job! Could you explain what you did that allowed you to print this small?
Keep it up for our next contests guys!
For the contest we are going Dutch!
We'll start within a few hours, stay tuned..

haha I knew someone would notice
Hopefully, it's on my Ultimaker in the office waiting for me.
And hopefully, the bottom layer did not turn into 1 solid layer this time
It should be uploaded in a few hours
