Shapeways and Maker Faire
Shapeways is offering some new things and some free things. First up is color! Instead of the the plain white, how about Terracotta, Limestone & Blue Jeans? A little color can change a design completely. Also, the Make Faire is going on soon, and Shapeways is offering a contest to coincide with the event:
To inspire people we would like to show off the best models that you can possibly make. Something that will make people go wow! Something that explains how 3D printing will change things. Something that someone will look at, hold in their hand and go..you can make this?
The Maker Faire contest is your chance to have your most amazing design made. Anything you want, anything that you think will inspire and amaze is game. The top 3 models will be 3D printed, exhibited at Maker Faire and then sent to the lucky winners. The winning designer gets an additional $300 in 3D printing from us.
The fine print: The contest closes the 15th of May. Enter by adding the tag: makerfaire to your upload. Your model has to be less expensive than $200.
Excellent. If you haven’t tried their service yet, here’s a chance to get your design printed completely free!
