That’s also when I’ll check CutRocket and add bonus points to the tally (if for some reason your project does not show up in the public page yet, edit your post to add a direct link to your CutRocket project).
I am sorry that happened Gary, I think you might have to put up a link to the design files with a description for it to be considered. If you need a hand with that on the next contest just send me a private message, I can walk you through it or I am sure Julien can also.
Right, I did not state it but I tried enforcing the rules strictly this time, and only validated the entries that had the design file attached, so yours and Bo’s and MrGNY’s post did not make the cut. In hindsight I should have posted a reminder, sorry!
A possible three-way tie? WOO-HOO! @cme82883 please don’t forget your CutRocket link to keep the tie, your project is too awesome not to stay right there!
Thank you very much for the votes guys! This one was a nail biter for sure! Thank you Julien and Carbide3D for the exciting contest and awesome prizes! I really enjoy these contests, the process of taking a concept to creating a design then building it with an impending deadline and then finally peer review, is a great way to be inspired to push the limits of your abilities and to be encouraged to create something meaningful and unique.
Congratulations to @cme82883, I am very impressed with the size and quality of the project you submitted. The letters all look perfect and it is a very professional piece. I hope your friend is recovering, and I am sure he is inspired by your very elaborate gift.
Also congratulations to @dakyleman your geared sign is by far the most complex of all the entries, and with moving parts and different messages, it is a interesting and impressive design.
I thought all the entries were great this time and there were some very intriguing and unique pieces. Sorry for the ones that were not accepted. If any forum member would like to submit a project for one of the Carbide 3D contests but you are not sure how to do it properly, don’t hesitate to private message me anytime, I am more then willing to help out!
As always, looking forward to the next Shapeoko project! See you soon!
I wish I could say I built it from scratch, but it’s a BackYard Discovery playset from Amazon. It’s been a life saver during the quarantine! I’d say it’s of decent quality. Despite it being a kit, I still had to make cuts. I’m hoping to get 10 years out of it. I wanted to build one from scratch, but the grandparents wanted to pitch in and we had Amazon points (and I have more projects than time)
