Just noticed that the “Purged Filament Contest” has been pushed out [3] times now on when the announcement will be… What’s going on Bambu Labs?
If you need help it’s okay to reach out to the community guys! Be a little more transparent with us so we can all gain a little plus continue on for the better.
I noticed this as well. Didn’t really bother me, but I agree that a bit more clarity could be nice, at lease to the people who participated in the contest.
I imagine they are trying to work out if my filled clock utilising transparent materials is first prize.
Or my Maracas and shares should get that honour.
The problem I think they are struggling with is that there are far better entries than mine, but, they enjoy making cool sounds whilst watch the hands of the clock go around and their work isn’t getting done.
It is a bit of a head scratcher. I thought for sure they were telegraphing the winners when they made three contest entries featured models, the spinning top mold, your poop broom and the poop tower game by GlennovitS 3D.
The winning model had zero successful prints when they published the winners, which I found odd. I mean it’s a neat model, but I don’t quite understand their grading rubric.
The Spinning top mold which came second, achieved 60 downloads and prints combined.
I’m not taking anything away from this designer or the design.
I do wonder how many actually did all the steps involved including having an oven, exact measurements, tools and gloves suitable for manipulating the part melted material.
Then BL commented on the model You are an absolute genius. That couldn’t hurt the chances,
I was wondering about this too…but I saw at least eight successful prints in the comments so I guess that’s enough evidence for me, will try it out myself
