A single vote would mean a lot to me, thanks in advance!

Backstory:

I'm a design student from the Netherlands and I have been experimenting with 3D printing for quite some time now at my internship. Sadly I don't have the sufficient funds to buy or time to build my own 3D printer. As you can see, I did submit to a contest in which I can win my first small 3D printer! But unfortunately; I need votes... A lot of them.

The contest was about showing the strength of Innofil3D filament. At first I thought about just lifting something heavy with a loop or a chain, but being a designer I'd rather make something functional. Thus this elegant nutcracker. The first prototype consisted of multiple moving parts, the second prototype was printed in one go but still with joints which were kept in place with thin tendons. The third and final prototype fully relied on the flex as well as strength of the material (recycled PET) and can also be printed in one go.

These contests rely on social-media coverage and public voting instead of being solely jury based. In this case there is a jury that will determine the order of the top 5, but first you have to get into the top 5 through votes... I have about two weeks left to gather as much votes as possible. I am spamming my friends daily, but my digital reach just isn't that great compared to that of some other contestants.

And that's why I reach out to this community, to help an aspiring 3D junky! You can vote daily, but each single vote is highly appreciated!
