Box creator | (Un)limited Design Contest

Entries were due September 9th for the (Un)limited Design Contest, and preparations have begun for the awards ceremony this weekend at the Picnic design festival in Amsterdam. The lucky and talented winners will take home their very own MakerBot build kit!

The contest is completely open source, so every design that was submitted is fully documented and available for re-use under a Creative Commons license. Entrants were encouraged to modify other participant’s designs and submit them as their own, with proper attribution, of course.

The project is a collaboration between the Waag Society, Premsela, Creative Commons and Fablab.

The box creator (pictured above) is a perfect project for folks with a lasercutter. You could even take the files and turn them into 3D models and make them on your MakerBot. The program allows you to customize the code to change the size of the box. The design was submitted by David Sjunneson.

Try adapting the design, and be sure to tell us about it if you do!
