ended Community Contest, part 7 | The Final

[SandervG 1,521]

Hi everyone,

We started this series of Community Contests a few weeks ago to celebrate the Olsson Block campaign. They generated a lot of positive feedback and we are determined to continue the series but in a slightly adjust fashion.

We'll reconsider some of the rules. For example, the frequency per contest will be a little bit longer so everyone has time to participate and take a shot at some of the new amazing prizes!

(did anyone say coffeemug? )

But first, we are facing the final challenge, for an special edition Olsson Block set.

Leading up to this moment we have seen some amazing entries, from the smallest bearing to a Indiana Jones robot-party to hairy Apes. We loved them!

For the final community contest it is all about creativity, everything goes!

But stop! This does not mean it will be anarchy and chaos. There is a purpose.

You must 3D print this figurine and customize it any way you want!

For example:

In the example upload I have made Santa Clause and Link (fyi, he even has Navi on his shoulder screaming 'LISTEN')

and mr @GuyS made a Italian looking mine craft guy.

Feel free to get as creative as possible. Design your own special tools it can hold, change size, add ears or print it in rainbow colours. We want to see everything!

 

Rules

 

• Your print needs to be printed on an Ultimaker.
  
• We know how you all love hacking and modifying, so we have only one guideline: it must be printed on an Ultimaker.
  
• Entries must be uploaded in the Print section. (Fill out your settings if you want. The winner agrees to share his settings at the end of the week).
  
• Share the link and a picture of your upload in this thread.
  
• Everyone can participate in every contest, but you can only win once.
  
• You can participate until Sunday midnight CEST January 3rd.
  

 

 

EXTRA INFORMATION

 

• We'll choose a winner primarily based on originality. Making a certain someone from the Ultimaker team could result in extra points ;)Or just cool details, making it an original, funny and creative entry!
  
• We will announce each weeks winner on Monday in the corresponding thread on our forum, on our Twitter feed and Instagram!

Recently a gnome tramped into the headquarter for a spot check.

Was it a remote relative? I don't know...

Here are some snapshots which were leaked to us...

The face of the employee is blanked out to ensure absolute anonymity.

Come on - go above and beyond!

One week left...

As you can see - i had some fun during the holidays...

Hi @tinkergnome, great entry!

I wonder if you'll get some more competition this last week otherwise it is an easy win for you

[Titus 170]

@tinkergnome, nice one! Though the face is blurred out, it still has some distinctive features that makes me think of a specific employee

I'm not an UM2 user, but am I seeing 2 teflon pieces there ?

@SandervG I'll have a look if I can find some time to print a toy or two.

[SandervG 1,521]

Cool, looking forward what you will enter @Titus!

.. I would be curious to know who in the office had such an impressive jawline.

Must be a babemagnet

[Titus 170]

Those long black locks go a long way too I recon

[tinkergnome 927]

Ok, i think i have to clarify:

Mine was a non-competitive entry, after all there is this rule:

 

 

• Everyone can participate in every contest, but you can only win once.
  

 

 

Very important: Any resemblance to a living person is purely coincidental, likewise the resemblance to cats!

@Titus: it's just a copy of an idea from @ultiarjan

Not really neccessary, but funny to play with..

Lately, my Ultimaker2 refused to print the slightest string of plastic! In desperation I called the Ultimaker support and guess what: They promised to send their best men! 2 hours later the doorbell rang and Mr. Ultimaker himself entered, followed by some other guy. In no time, they revealed the root of my trouble: The nozzle was clogged! Some acupuncture needles and atomic pulls later my Ultimaker printed like never before. Thank you, Mr. Ultimaker!!

[Titus 170]

What a great entry! Is the netting also printed?

[avogra 68]

yes, that is a testprint for bed leveling & -flatness. what is very cool: when you remove it from the bed, it loads electrostatical and sticks to the wall for weeks

[SandervG 1,521]

very nice!! So much creativity, I love it.

[Titus 170]

Still printing!

[avogra 68]

go, @Titus, go

[Titus 170]

Do you have an stl file ?

[avogra 68]

Do you have an stl file ?

 

Sure, but it is just a block scaled to 200 x 200 x 0.15 mm (you might want it thicker). The trick is print settings:

solid infill top and bottom are disabled

infill is like 5% and

1 line of brim to have less space wasted around the print

[avogra 68]

i will upload stl and gcode in youmagine, just a second

/edit:

oh, the gcode is for um2, or doesn't that matter?

hmm :( no idea, my first commit on youmagine, but i guess you do it faster yourself

[Titus 170]

Oh no! Professor Ultimaker disturbed the Egyptian mummies! Some crazy virus turned them into stretched zombies. Luckily with the mysterious powers of the Ancient Moai Professor Ultimaker was able to summon Joenny the Cube to fight against the zombie!

@Titus, you are supercrazy love the stretch-bot-mummy-zombie! great stuff!

[Titus 170]

That was actually a left over from installing my heated bed. My first print came out like that

[Titus 170]

 

@SandervG, no winner announcement? I thought @avogra 's entry was according to all rules, and besides that really awesome!

[SandervG 1,521]

Hi @Titus and @avogra,

due to all the excitement and necessary preparations about the Ultimaker 2+ launch I lost track of time and neglected to announce a winner.

@avogra was also kind enough to remind me of this.

But here we are. We need a winner!

And we have one..

 

Congratulations..

@avogra!!

Your entry was very creative and we all enjoyed it. Plus it fitted all the rules and you are the true winner of the last Olsson Block-contests. Congratulations!

Seeing the web I thought it was gonna be a spiderman, but instead it was Mr. Ultimaker-man. Even better! .. When is Marvel gonna make a movie about him?

We'll keep these contests alive, stay tuned for the next one!

I'll reach out to @avogra about sending you your prize.

[avogra 68]

Thank you, @SandervG! The web is actually to ensure safety at work. This was the first thing the two of them took care of, when they entered the printer.

most time went into the design of the aviator glasses :PI had a lot of fun making up something! Count me in next time
