3D Design Contests on Printables.com

We’re kicking off our annual Valentine’s Day Flash Contest a bit ahead of schedule to give you all the time you need to perfect your heartfelt prints before Cupid’s big day. We can’t wait to see a contest full of bouquets, teddy bears, and heart-shaped everything—along with a parade of filaments in all the colors of love! Whether you’re planning to design something clever, a beautiful classic, or just a funny “love token,” this is your chance to create your very own Valentine’s special. ❤️

Ever wonder how potters and ceramic artists turn lumps of clay into pieces of art? The answer often lies in their tools. And this flash contest focuses on designing practical tools for working with ceramics. From trimming tools and texturing rollers to embossing stamps, specialized knives and spatulas, or pottery wheel accessories that help you with symmetry, we’re looking for designs that make ceramic work smoother, more precise, or simply more enjoyable. Whether you’re a potter, a sculptor, or someone who loves experimenting with clay, this challenge is for you!
