Have you entered Pattywac’s design contests?
Pattywac bearing contest winning design
Thingiverse citizen Pattywac has been working to spur creativity and innovation with his recent design contests. His first was a magnet design contest and second was a bearing design contest. Right now he’s running two concurrent contests for rubber band designs (current prize is $100) and another for MakerBot improvement designs (current prize is $65).
The submissions to Pattywac’s contests have resulted in some really incredible designs, such as the winner of the bearing contest, Twotimes with his Mendel inspired X and Y carriage lowrider. The Cupcake CNC 3D printer was designed to be built within the constraints of lasercut wood and acrylic. Twotimes’ designs demonstrate how a 3D printer can create effective and efficient improvements not possible with other means.
Do you have an idea for one of these two contests? (Or an idea you can enter in both?)

Clearly the person to produce a rubber-band powered MakerBot will win all the marbles.
