500 Prusameters which are more than enough for one Prusament spool. The winner will also receive the Printables honorary badge, and up to 900 Prusameters will be distributed among other top entries.
This round’s theme is tiny but mighty — this flash contest is all about beads! Design a 3D-printable collection of beads that are not just pretty but also fun to use and satisfying to print. Your beads can decorate shoelaces or hoodie strings, snap into hair as little clips, or become part of a beaded curtain. Maybe you’ll create sewing-friendly beads or design chunky, easy-to-thread pieces perfect for kids learning fine motor skills while making their own jewelry. You can take inspiration from geometry, nature, or even give your beads cute little Mickey Mouse ears — it’s up to you! They should print easily, be comfortable to work with, and look great once finished.
