What kind of kids’ toys can you make with the Ultimaker 3D printer?
Ultimaker is one of the best-known and best-selling 3D printers on the market. Many people use their Ultimakers to create toys for their young ones or friends. We want you to be creative and have fun creating your design! Basically toy around with your thoughts, put them into CAD form, and then submit.
We have lots of prizes! You can win your very own Ultimaker and limited supply of free PLA to CAD (or download) so you can create to your heart’s content.
Requirements
Model parts should fit, be scaled to or be cut into sections of no greater than 21 x 21 x 21 cm.
Your submission should be in STEP or IGES format. Other formats are not accepted.
Assembly can be via snap fit, bolts, screws or glue. See www.ultimaker.com for more information.
The model has to be 3D printable.
Entries will be judged based on creativity, feasibility in 3D printing on Ultimaker, and overall coolness.
