We were not too sure were to put this, so we have put this here.
We are running a Competition to win a spool of woodfill, it's just a bit of fun really. The idea is to try and identify what filaments were used to print 9 models.
We cannot ship outside the UK so to win you must have a UK delivery address but feel free to have a go.
with such low res pictures that's bloody hard :-)
Got about 5 definites, but 4 could all pretty much be interchangeable.
But I will give it a go :-)
Oh you bastards - just realised that there are 13 possible materials and 9 pictures.
That makes it a helluva lot harder lol
Well I think I've got 4 or 5 right and the rest are just guessing :-)
Initially we were only going to give the 9 materials that were actually used as options, then we thought it may be too easy. On reflection you are probably right in that it is hard. We have not run a competition with this format before so it will be a learning experience for us as well. in the end it will be the person with the most correct answers that will win so luck is probably going to have a lot to do with it, best guess basically.
If you click on the image it expands to 1000x1000 pixels if that is of any help.
Well good luck finding someone that can do that. If CA can't then I doubt that anyone will.
Myself I can only say they are printed and they are plastic with a probability factor of maybe 80%.

Hmm, one chance in 259459200. Slim odds indeed. :)
Assuming my arithmetic is correct. (probability of that is even higher)
This is not correct as it is the most correct answers that wins so the odds are determined by the other entrants performances. Ie. if you get 1 right and nobody else gets any right you would win.Quote:

I just didn't realise there were 4 extra materials by the time I'd filled the email in.
Then had to rethink about 6 of them.
I've used most.
But there are about 4-5 that would just look the same anyway :-)
Even with the picture full size, it doesn't help that much.
Easy - it aint !
Which is a good basis for a competition :-)
We were going to go with -
What is a type of 3D printer filament?
A) Chicken
B) The capital of Abyssinia
C) PLA
I can get that one right, probably.Quote:

The hardest is the black tile.
Given that I had another pegged for ninjaflex and there was no carbon fibre filament mentioned.
Still don't really have a clue :-)
Can't remember what I put - but it was random guess.
OK, we have made it a bit easier, now the only options are from the materials used, i.e. match the 9 materials to the nine models.Quote:

That's not fair.
At least tell me what i scored.
Don't need to know which ones i got right, just the overall number :-)
Have another go!Quote:

I'd say I'm confident on about 6 of them that I've actually used.
We'll see.
Are you a sufficient 3D printer geek to guess the different 3D printer filaments used and win a free spool of colorfabb Woodfill filament?
Good luck to anyone who can pick ABS and HIPS ABS apart !
lol yeah, I was going by the surface appearence on that one.
But there are three types of pla, which by rights shouldn't look any different from each other.
Wasn't quite close my eyes and point at randon point on the screen - but pretty close :-)
Yeah I got lost on the PLA.. and all those distracting links to buy filament on each selection... :pQuote:
