It’s time for the third (and last) round of our designer contest (previous rounds results)! In this article, we will give you tips on several interesting prints. These are the best of all the models taking part in our contest. It’s also possible you are one of 23 happy winners, which have one of their own models on this list!
Devin Ho gets the main prize, an Original Prusa i3 MK3S printer, for his flawlessly executed mechanical model, showing relations between a unit circle and trigonometric functions. The author also created a comprehensible assembly manual, which should always be an integral part of such projects. This model has been uploaded since the first round and gradually improved according to valuable feedback from the other designers. Kudos to Devin for quick fixes of all the minor glitches.

The second place belongs to rayjizza for his miniature football (soccer) stadium. We are sure both kids and adults will have a lot of fun with it. Check some other models by the same author as well. For example, there is a small pinball, or a table football using an upcycled Prusament box. The winner can pick three Prusaments from our e-shop (any PLA, PETG, or ASA).

Elod_HU gets the third place with a model of HIVE, a version of a well-known board game. You don’t have to shop for it, instead, print it yourself in quality comparable to the original, and have fun for many hours! It is suitable for players 9 yo and above. The author also created a handy box for all the tokens. We will send two Prusaments (any PLA, PETG, or ASA) his way.

This contest had an incredible turnout, with a total of 1 350 competing models. We cannot award all the well-made models (and there are plenty!), 25 prizes are simply not enough for that. The evaluation is always about subjective opinions, but we can assure you we really try to do our best. Each of us is different and might have different preferences. If you aren’t among the winners now, please don’t give up and try it again next time 🙂 There is another contest in the pipeline, with an Original Prusa SL1 as the main prize!
Honorable mentions – rewarded by a single Prusament
We would like to mention 20 other models, each of their authors getting one spool of Prusament (pick from any PLA, PETG, or ASA).

This make sense. Well done Prusa!
One thing… designers, like me, need feedback about models. Views, downloads or comments (visible or not). Anything to check my model success.
Thank you.
Counts should be back today or tomorrow. Including all statistics data, when counters were not visible. I realize that this is very valuable feedback for authors. I apologize for the temporary unavailability.
I had no idea how addicted I had become to checking my download numbers until I couldn’t…….thanks for an update on this!!

Great website at http://essaypapers.reviews/
I am currently enrolled at a university’s Department of Management, thus I am well-versed in this subject. I can promise you, though, that the writing is really challenging here. At times, you may have to dedicate a large amount of time to them. As a result, I strongly urge you to go to buy custom essays online and read what they have to say. They frequently aid me while I am writing an essay or any other form of written assignment on any topic. It is unquestionably faster, and practicing on your own is preferred.
Great designs!! Well done prusa!!
