COLORFABB TIME-LAPSE CONTEST

It’s time-lapse challenge time again! The rules are pretty basic: switch on the printer, print something cool and make a time lapse of it. A time-lapse allows you to capture the magic of 3d printing one frame at a time, when played back at normal speed time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing.

You can 3d print anything you want, use any type of 3d printer and material. We’re looking for time-lapses that capture the beauty of 3d printing and do this in an exceptional and clever way.

The winners
We know that making a time-lapse is a lot of work and takes quite a bit of preparation, that’s why we’re rewarding every eligible contestant with a sample pack. All entries that are posted on Twitter and Facebook (hashtag #colorfabbtimelapse) will be re-posted for the world to see.

And what can you win?

First prize:
A year long supply of colorFabb filaments of choice! Every month we will send you four spools of your choice to keep on printing, so that is 48 spools of filaments to be won! That will also include the materials to be released in 2016!

Second prize:
Two value packs with the filaments of your choice: 32 spools.

Third prize:
One value pack with the filaments of your choice: 16 spools.

Every eligible contestant will also receive a sample pack of colorFabb materials! All entries that are posted on Twitter and Facebook (hashtag #colorfabbtimelapse) will be re-posted for the world to see.

Selecting the winner
The contest will stop on January 18th at midnight (CET). colorFabb will choose the 10 best entries and will then conduct a public poll where everybody can vote for a full week. After this, the winner is announced. All prizes and sample packs will be shipped after this date.

[restab title=”Winner”]And the winners is :

It has taken us quite a while to decide on a winner for the time-lapse contest. As hard has it was to decide on the 12 finalists, it has taken us considerably longer to find a winner. The jury consisted of:

Ruud Rouleaux, CEO
Gijs Houdijk, Technical Manager
Sander Strijbos, Sales Manager

Criteria we looked at were of course the prints themselves, the quality, application and the film itself. We, the jury, have to come to the following top 3:

#1 – 12x 4 spools of filament

REUse it by Aklih Design:


#2 – 2 value packs!

Cannon by Labern:


#3 – 1 value pack!

What is 3D printing by Colton1981:

 

We congratulate the winners with their achievements. We will contact them soon about the collection of their prizes. All contestants will be contacted soon about the sample packs that all contestants will receive.

 

We had a blast in the past few weeks watching all the videos and the hard work that was put into them. We hope you enjoyed it too and we will come up with another contest later this year!
