GrabCAD MakerBot Challenge Complete
Drumroll please…
Mr. Maker by ErikJDurwoodII is now the official MakerBot mascot. We judged this challenge based on creativity and 3D printability. It’s a very cute mascot, it’s simple enough to be easy to print and has a playful, creative character that embodies the MakerBot spirit. Congrats to ErikJDurwoodII, we’ll be sending him a MakerBot Thing-O-Matic kit and we can’t wait to see what he does with it! Check it Mr. Maker on GrabCAD and Thingiverse. If you have a MakerBot there are printing plates that will make it easy for you to churn this design out!
With so many awesome entries, this was a hard contest to judge. We’ve got 10 runners up and we’re going to be printing out their designs over the next month and sending them out to them as runners up gifts.

I’m interesting in those city building models. I was about to create some of them (actually, create an building generator), but if they already exist, I rather reuse them, they look good.

Mr. Makerbot is a great choice.
I believe the buildings are from SimCity 2000, designed by Skimbal. I saw them at the KC Maker Faire, they’re really neat. I’d LOVE to print them too.
Also, my squirrel is in the background! Cool.

Yeah it reminds me of Sim City or something!?

Great Choice for Mr. Maker. I really think it shows the spirit of Makerbot playful innovation.
Good job Erik J DurwoodII
RANT — It’s not fair, Erik has talent. I did the best I could with a sphere and a thing I stole from somebody else and that other something I got from another site. I had the logo on mine too.
