MakerBot Industries

Thingiverse citizen and designer extraordinaire Twotimes has put together a new design challenge for you!  He’s putting up $50.00 in cash with MakerBot contributing an additional $100.00 in store credit to the winner!

It’s time to switch up the contests a bit.  Although 3D printing contests are cool, Thingiverse is about the universe of digital things not just printed things.  So, here’s a contest for all of you cutters out there.

Design something that involves cutting (Laser/Craftcutter/CNC), cardboard and bags (could be handbags or balloon envelopes or anything in between).  Add the tag “cutbag” to your thing.

The rules are simple: enter something that you have made, extra points go to open source things with the design files.  No points go to closed source things.  Make sure you also have a photo of the finished thing.  Also, don’t forget to tag it with “cutbag!”

All entries will be judged by:

• Awesomeness (I know, very subjective, but then I get to make the rules…) Don’t worry, I’ll have other people judging as well.
• Attention to detail
• Amount of discussion generated
• Completeness of entry (design files, instructions, photo of finished project)
• How many likes you get

The prize is $50 through paypal from me and if anyone else chips in, that also.

The deadline is April 15th.

Good luck!
