"March 2026: Bring an Experiment"

Archived

Upcoming Challenge: Bring an Experiment

Challenge: Bring an Experiment

For this month, we challenge you to try something new, crazy, or wild! Bring in an experiment. It can be anything from simple cubes to complex prints. The goal is simply to push boundaries and try something you haven't done before.

The Focus: The Process

We want to hear about what you tried. Be prepared to share:

What was your experiment?
Why did you try it?
Did it work, or did it fail? (Failing is completely fine, it's about trying something new!)

Submission Requirements

Physical Model: Bring your experimental print to the April meetup.
The Story: Be ready to tell the group about your process and what you were testing.

Judging & Prize

Voting: The group will vote on their favorite experimental attempt.
Prize: The winner will receive a free spool of filament!
