Contest theme:
Fit for Philips Grooming Gear

We’ve teamed up with Philips to launch their very first 3D printing design contest! This time it’s all about grooming devices — from the Philips OneBlade, beard trimmers, and hair clippers, to body groomers, nose & ear trimmers, and even multigroom kits.

The Challenge

Design a clever case or holder for a Philips grooming device and help make our products easier to carry, organize, or store. Think smart compartments, satisfying closures, stands that snap together, or kits that feel tailor-made.

We're opening up our grooming category to the maker world, so whether you're a 3D printing wizard or just getting started, we want your ideas! Bonus points for portability, elegance, or just plain fun. 

Valid entry

MAKE SURE YOUR MODEL CLEARLY SPECIFIES THE EXACT PHILIPS DEVICE IT’S MADE FOR. And remember: Don’t modify or create parts that attach to or change the function of Philips devices themselves. That’s a no-go for safety and technical reasons.

Judging Criteria

• The overall quality of the model.
• Printability – Whether the model has an optimal orientation, whether it is divided into multiple parts so it can be printed more easily (without supports) etc.
• Originality – If you create something truly unique, it will be rated better than a slightly altered existing model.
• Popularity – Share your model to increase its popularity, and prove that users appreciate such a model.
• Your other works – In case we can’t decide between two favorite designs, we often check your other models to see what you can do.
• Assembly instructions – If your model consists of multiple parts, we check how easy it is to assemble the final product.
• Photo quality – Well-lit, in-focus, and clear photos help show off your work and help us pick the best designs. For tips, check out our Basics of Product Photography course!

How to participate?

It’s easy to participate in this competition. Just follow these simple instructions.

• Design and create a model or improve an already existing one (“remix”) so that the result fits the theme of this contest. The model has to be printable on an FFF/FDM or SLA 3D printer (any manufacturer and model). This also means that you don’t need to own a 3D printer to participate. When creating the model, keep in mind the pros and cons of various types of 3D printing technologies and what can and can’t be actually done.
• Upload the model to Printables.com and make sure it contains:
  1. Model in .3MF or .STL file format (print files are optional)
  2. Photo or render of the model (ideally both)
  3. Model description
• Add the model to the contest. You will find the new competition button just below the download button on the print's page after you publish your print. Click the Compete medal and select the "Fit for Philips Grooming Gear" contest. After that, your print will be shown on the contest page and you will be in the running.

Of course, you can share your model on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest,…), and don’t forget to add @printablescom. This can help increase the popularity of the model.
