This past August, 3D model repository Thangs announced a weekly global contest that sees users earning points redeemable for store credit on MatterHackers’ and 3DJake’s online stores.
By participating in the “Weekly Creator Contest,” designers can earn points by uploading original designs to Thangs. They’ll earn additional points when their designs are downloaded or liked, or when their Thangs accounts are followed by other users. Each week, 1,500 points will be divided among the top 30 designers, with first place winning the equivalent of $150, second through tenth place winning $70, and eleventh through thirtieth place winning $30.
“We wanted to do something big that celebrated our creators and their central role in the 3D community. So we created something much larger in terms of creator value, number of creators impacted, and without delayed gratification – so it both runs and resets weekly,” said Dennis DeMeyere, cofounder and CTO of Thangs. “Partnering with MatterHackers and 3DJake was a natural choice – our users know and love them, today. Together, they are global leaders with an unbelievable selection of products, exceptional service, and in most cases free or low-cost shipping. We couldn’t be more excited to be working with them to show the 3D creator community how much they are valued.”
Users in North America, South America, Africa, India, Asia, and the Middle East will be able to spend their points in the MatterHackers store, with European and Australia-based users having their rewards fulfilled by 3DJake – “be it materials, accessories, or even 3D printers and other digital manufacturing equipment,” according to a recent press release.
