COMMUNITY : UNIVERSAL LASER CUTTER CONTEST


LASER CUTTER CONTEST CLOSED

From the Laser Cutter contest page:

UPDATE:

Entry deadline extended to January 1, 2008!

What were we thinking?!?
The holidays are the perfect time to finish your Laser Cutter Contest entry, and we don't want to judge during our family vacations.

So, we're extending the entry deadline to 11:59pm PST Tuesday, January 1, 2008 to take advantage of the entire holiday season. Finalists will be announced on Monday, January 7, 2008. User voting will still end on January 31st, and we'll still announce the ultimate winner on Monday, February 4th, 2008.

Use this extra time to make something truly incredible!


Happy holidays from the Instructables team.

Awww. I really must make something. But I just got Guitar Hero 3 and Phantom Hourglass. Videogames or productivity?! :D

FrenchCrawler in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 11, 2007. 9:00 PM
Which is more important? Instructables or school? :P
13
T3h_Muffinator in reply to FrenchCrawlerDec 12, 2007. 3:19 AM
To me? Instructables! My parents aren't too happy about that, though...
155
canida (author) in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 10:25 AM
The correct answer is school, since it ultimately enables higher-quality Instructables. ;)
13
T3h_Muffinator in reply to canidaDec 17, 2007. 2:59 AM
Okay.... now you're right!

School is more important!

Going back to school after a long break is like that scene in horror movies where the victim is being pulled away and clawing the ground.

Brennn10 in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 17, 2007. 4:27 AM
Although Instructables provides an exemplary extra-curricular education of DIY and innovation!
13
T3h_Muffinator in reply to canidaDec 12, 2007. 2:44 PM
Yes.... I considered that, but then decided that Instructables has the potential to teach me how to make awesome muffin-related stuffs, whereas school will only teach me material useful in the real world ;-P Although, I do agree with you.... School's important, I just hate it at the moment. *grumble*

Sunbanks in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 8:57 PM

Weissensteinburg in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 4:43 PM
All i know is that I've learned more from instructables in a year than I've learned at school in three.

dsman195276 in reply to WeissensteinburgJan 2, 2008. 5:45 AM
o yea. high five

jessyratfink in reply to WeissensteinburgDec 16, 2007. 10:56 PM
Me too. Well, not about public health. But about more interesting subjects. :D
13
T3h_Muffinator in reply to WeissensteinburgDec 12, 2007. 7:21 PM
You've probably learned much more useful things here than @ school, I know I have.
41
Weissensteinburg in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 7:23 PM
Oh, most definitely.

Punkguyta in reply to WeissensteinburgDec 13, 2007. 6:57 PM
I can second that, who doesn't love the handiness related features of instructables...ALL AT YOUR FINGER TIPS!

zachninme in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 4:15 PM
At least you're learning important things >_> I can't wait 'till physics, chem. etc. so that I have a class that is remotely interesting... but it'll be a year or two ):
30
Sunbanks in reply to zachninmeDec 12, 2007. 8:56 PM
I can't wait until next year so I can go to a different school and take some better classes than my current school has to offer. Like biology and things like that so I can be a veterinarian.
13
T3h_Muffinator in reply to zachninmeDec 12, 2007. 7:20 PM
Aww... Cheer up!

At least you have some free time to have fun now!

Although yeah, physics and chem are super-fun =)

Goodhart in reply to T3h_MuffinatorDec 12, 2007. 9:38 PM
Whoa, you must have a much different course type then I did in school (high school Chemistry was rough enough, even with my love of the science).

canida (author) in reply to mothflavour2Dec 31, 2007. 8:43 AM
Goodhart is exactly right- Pacific.
38
Goodhart in reply to mothflavour2Dec 30, 2007. 9:18 PM
Probably PST since they are located in CA, right ?
38
Goodhart says: Dec 11, 2007. 5:09 PM
That is great......let me see if I can get something together now.
38
Goodhart in reply to GoodhartDec 27, 2007. 8:33 AM
I am not going to make this one.....maybe in the coming year (hopefully before Jan is over) I can get something together :-(

jmengel says: Dec 13, 2007. 8:12 PM
Sliding deadlines are the mark of poor planning, poor resource allocation, and contest sponsors that don't feel that they have gotten their money's worth on the contest submissions. This is Squid's show and dollar so I don't blame them, but this extension really just penalizes anyone with the fortitude to stick to a schedule. Not that I couldn't use the extra time, I've got stuff on the back burner that could be dynamite for this contest. W00t!

J_Hodgie says: Dec 12, 2007. 7:16 PM
This is the best thing I've heard all week, Now I can finish my project! The bitter irony before is that my final exams ended on the 17th and the contest ended on the 16th.
