Printables Celebrates 3DBenchy with Remix Contest
You're now definitely allowed to remix the 3DBenchy, so why not win some Prusameters from just that?
The 3DBenchy license crisis has come full circle.
Printables, the repository where a controversy kicked off in the 3D printing community when a third party reported remixes of the iconic 3DBenchy model and initiated license enforcement, is now holding a 3DBenchy remix contest to celebrate the model’s subsequent relicensing to CC0.
The contest runs until March 9 23:59 UTC. To enter, take the 3DBenchy model and “modify it, mash it up, turn it into something completely unexpected—just have fun with it.” (the multi-part model found on GitHub might be helpful here). As per Printable’s usual flash contest rules, each participant can upload and enter five new models.
Winners receive 500 Prusameters: the repository’s reward points that can be redeemed for Prusa prizes on the rewards page – 350 Prusameters nets a spool of filament! Other rewards include a special Printables badge (bragging rights) and maybe “some other small prizes at [Printable’s] discretion.”
To see the contest entries so far, or enter yourself, head over to the Printables Benchy Remix contest page.
