Overview

Just one word... Plastics! 

Anything that uses plastic is eligible for this contest! Just to give you some ideas, this can include PVC, 3D printing, foam, resin casting, and thermoplastics. However, it is by no means limited to just these suggestions, and we welcome you to surprise us with your plastic ingenuity! The best plastic-related projects will be eligible to win a host of cool prizes including a MacBook Air.

There is also a special prize for the best use of Tinkercad within an Instructable. Include files created using Tinkercad, or embed a 3D model viewer to be eligible.

The Plastics Contest is closed.
