Bearing Contest - $115 Prize

thingiverse

New design contest. All submissions need to use bearings in some way to enable the printable side of the submission to do something cool/neat/funny/novel. So the last contest that required magnets didn't receive much attention and was poorly timed (ended on a holiday weekend). I'm supplying more time and money for this one so hopefully there will be a bigger turn out. I would like to do more of these contests but will probably lose interest if there are too few entries. Fido, if you are reading this check your email so I can get you the money from the last contest. Thanks to tmophoto ($15) and Bo L. ($50) for helping up the prize money. Instructions Here are the rules: Needs to be printable on a makerbot Needs to use bearings in some way (They can be any size/style bearings. Skate bearings as sold in the Makerbot store are easy to come by since they can be bought at any sports supply store.... the dimensions are 8mm ID, 22mm OD, and 7mm thickness) Post submissions on thingiverse by 5pm cst Sunday, Oct 3 Post a comment to this thing with a link to your submission Seriously anything that uses bearings in some way..... The prize is $50 in the makerbot store. I will pick the winner but will rely heavily on user feedback. Multiple submissions are allowed. Extra points for submissions that use licenses which allow derivatives or have no restrictions on use and for submissions that supply generic prt or obj files along with the standard STL file.
