    Hyrel to award ten System 30M printers

    Folks,

    We're running a contest. Details are at https://hyrel3d2016designcontest.shortstack.com/qJnq0

    Short version:

    1. Watch the video and submit a design; public voting determines 10 winners; each winning team will get a printer for six months.
    2. Later public voting determines one of these 10 teams which will get to keep the printer; Hyrel will determine a second team which gets to keep the printer.

    This is open to everyone, even though it's targeted to schools.

    Long version is on the website linked above.

    Those look like very nice printers! But I don't like the contest. The problem is even if I win, it is likely I will just get 6 months of use of the printer. And then it gets taken away. 6 Months is just enough time to really learn to use the printer, and then I wouldn't have it any more.

    You might be given the opportunity to purchase one which has been used (by you) for six months at a discount.

    Might be.

    This. A rather disappointing win

    lol I'm guessing this is limited to the continental united states ?

    And come on - six months with all the attachments, you do get all the attachments right ?

    That would be some serious fun !

    Chocolate, clay, weird mouldable rubber stuff - you saying that you wouldn't want to try ANY of that stuff ?

    There are three teams currently on the website. It doesn't matter what you click on, you can't see any actual designs.
    Also it says in the rules - 4 months not 6.

    This is not limited to the US as far as I know. Did you see that posted somewhere?
