Overview

Together with 3DHubs and 3Dconnexion, we're pleased to present the Design Now: In Motion Contest. This contest is about 3D printing with a focus on making, designing, or 3D printing things that move or enable motion. All projects that are related to 3D printing and motion are eligible for this contest. 

Prizes are generously provided by our partners and there's a special judges' prize for projects that are designed in Fusion 360. Share your project for a chance to win a Zortax M200, SpaceMouse® Enterprise Kit, and print vouchers from 3DHubs.

To qualify for the judges' prize, your entry must be designed in Fusion 360 -- bonus points if you include your Fusion file in the Instructable! Don't have Fusion 360 yet? It's free for students and hobbyists.
