Rules for 3d design competition!
-I will choose 6-12 parts to be printed according how strong or interesting they seem to be and how hard they are to print. So it's good idea to have some thought also for easy to print design and if the benefits of the design are hard to understand by just quickly looking to shape you can provide information about the design with the email. But usually most of the shapes are easy to print so if you are not familiar with printing you don't have to stress about it.
-All parts must be on .stl format and around 100mm tall
-If you are not familiar with 3d printing parameters I can choose settings that I think will suit the part best but if you have some specific plans for printer settings like infill % you can provide those with email.
-All parts are going to be printed from PLA with target weight of around 80 grams to match results of this video
-Winner is the part that can take the highest force before complete failure, small bending is ok. We might also give prices for most entertaining failures :D
-You can send your parts to my email that you can find on this Youtube channels "about" section, please use "3d-print competition" as an title for the email.
-If you are not featured in first video we can do part 2 if the first video does well
