Well that was awesome.
We had a feeling that the Ghostly Vinyl challenge was going to be right in the Thingiverse community’s wheelhouse and we were right!
For three weeks, Thingiverse was bombarded with hundreds of amazing #GhostlyVinyl Challenge entries — from customizable zoetropes, dancing ghosts and vinyl-based sculpture to clocks, wave generators, cable organizers, and so much more.
All participants deserve a round of applause for their hard work and creativity.
Picking finalists from all the inspired entries was tough, but after consulting with Ghostly International and recording artist Com Truise, we’re excited to announce the winners!
And the winners are…
First prize goes to Oana’s Hand Cranked Vinyl Player. It prints without support and assembles in less than five minutes. It’s complex, but not complicated, and it can actually play records!
Second prize goes to M600’s DeskSHELL. It’s an elegant multi-purpose container for your audio miscellanea. It prints easily, looks perfect next to your turntable, and features some clever customizable elements.
Third prize goes to Aleccs’ Phone Amplifying Dock. The Ghostly-themed design holds an iPhone in place and redirects audio through an amplifying chamber.
UPDATE: Due to a judging error, we’ve changed the challenge winners. Check them out!
