Guess the 3D printer filament used - Competition
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 :-)Last edited by curious aardvark; 05-05-2016 at 03:03 PM.

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)

lol - hard is good.
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 :-)
