Step 1Sign up

Before you can even think about 3D printing objects you have to sign up for Ponoko at http://www.ponoko.com/make-and-sell/pricing-and-signup.  I would recommend to only use the prime service if you are going to print a large amount of objects/products using ponoko.  Choose a unique name and password.  After you have done this sign up for google sketch at http://sketchup.google.com/.  It's really simple and fast to download.

You must have images on each step. Those images should NOT be random clip art you found on the Web. Take screenshots of your own session, or save images of your own project as you develop it.

You may also want to reconsider stealing accidentically copying the exact title of a Featured Instructable from yesterday.

I must apologize. That was snarkier than it needed to be, and I'm sorry about that. The title caught me off guard (and when you publish an Instructable, it doesn't show that it's going into a contest until it's been approved by the Staff). Thank you for the link to the contest -- it make it clear that you have to use that exact title, so I was out of line.

Instructables' guidelines (not rules, just guides) are that authors should use original pictures wherever possible, especially if they're supposed to be pictures of something they have done or made. With ten minutes before the contest deadline, I think you made a reasonable choice to grab some appropriate imagery.

Again, my apologies for the tone of my post. If you'd prefer, I can delete it.
