Make it Real Free 3D Printing Giveaway - EXTENDED!
DUE TO POPULAR DEMAND, THE 50 PRINT GIVEAWAY IS BEING RENEWED THROUGH JUNE 4TH!
Instructables is giving away FREE 3D prints to the first 50 projects to enter the Make It Real Challenge this week that get featured on the site! Simply enter your project into the contest, and if it gets featured, you get a FREE 3D Print.
The Make It Real Challenge is open to any project that was at least partially designed using a computer: it could be a preliminary digital sketch, a sticker, an electronics schematic, laser-cutter files, a 3D design, or even an inkjet printer template - anything digital! And the prizes are insane - we're giving away a $50k Objet 3D printer, 11 UP! personal 3D printers, and even more free 3D prints.
To win your FREE 3D print, just enter your project into the Make It Real Challenge this week and meet our featuring criteria! Everyone who does will win a 3" x 3" x 3" 3D print of anything they choose, a 3D printed Instructables robot, or 5 pieces of their choice from the Free Universal Construction Kit.

Is there a deadline for turning in our free 3d print form??
Reply 8 years ago
Please try to turn it in within a few month's time. I wouldn't let it sit for years.

We were only able to get a handful done while we were dealing with the Make it Real Challenge. Now that it is over, we should be getting them printed up and sent out as soon as we are able :)

I entered the "Make It Real Challenge" last night, and this morning my instructible was featured under "technology". It features a 3-D print that is under 3"x3"x3". How do I go about claiming my prize?
8 years ago
oh great, I am currently featured :)

OOOOOOOH
My Ible was featured today, does that mean I get a free print, and if so does it mean I have to design what I want or submit a pic of what I want printed?
8 years ago
How long does it take after you've entered the contest and been featured before you know if you get a print?
Also how long do we have to design a printable piece?
Reply 8 years ago
If we win one of these prints are we still eligible for the prizes at the end of the contest?
Thanks for any answers, I'm sort of confused.
Reply 8 years ago
Hi, you still qualify to win the contest if you get a free 3D print. You should hear back this week about getting the free 3D print :)
Reply 8 years ago

Reply 8 years ago

For the free 3D print? It should say in the message you got received :)
Reply 8 years ago
The prize claim form just said I would be contacted with more details.
Reply 8 years ago
Thanks already submitted it Jacob A Rogers said they would be shipped in about a week. Do you think another opportunity will arise or is this the last time 3D prints will be offered? (got a project in the pipes want to know if i should hold off for a bit on publishing)
Reply 8 years ago
We don't have anything like this in mind in the future right now.
Reply 8 years ago
thanks will publish it when it's done, hopefully before June 4th.

anybody know which site i can check for the 3"x3" 3D print?
8 years ago
Wow. I've just bee awarded one of these. Thank you! I never realised Instructables contests were so cool.
I'm tempted by the robot figure but really should design something myself. I wonder if 3 inches cubed is enough to make a toy for my 7 month old son that won't be a choking hazard?

Reply 8 years ago

I have submitted something, how do I recieve the free 3d printing, sorry I sound kind of rude, but I really want to see this technology, and a 3d model of teeth :)
Reply 8 years ago
It needs to get featured by someone on the Community Team.
8 years ago
Is there anything we have to do if we are featured or will Instructables contact us?
Reply 8 years ago
To clarify I mean contacting Instructables about the 3D print. I know about the notice that says if you are featured or not. Thanks.
Reply 8 years ago
We will send you a notification to claim your print.
Reply 8 years ago
Should this happen soon after being featured or sometime after the deadline? I posted an Instructable the 30th, It was accepted into Make It Real on the 1st or 2nd and was featured on the 4th.

Gah! I thought it was May 7th. I just stayed up all night working on a project hoping to get it in on time but I missed it. *sad face* Procrastination is a cruel mistress!
Oh well, at least I'm almost finished the work on a groovy 'ible.
