This time, you\u2019ll get to choose from three different modular products to make your own.\r\n\r\nCooler Master\u2019s FreeForm 2.0 philosophy is about giving makers the tools (and permission) to experiment, remix, and reimagine hardware their own way. With the MasterFrame 600, Qube 540, and Atmos II, you\u2019ve got three different canvases to work with. Pick one and you can start designing!\r\n\r\nWant to improve functionality, change aesthetics, or completely rethink a part? Let\u2019s see how far you can take the FreeForm idea.\r\n\r\n### The Challenge\r\n1. Pick one of the official Cooler Master models: MasterFrame 600, Qube 540, or Atmos II, \r\n2. download its 3D templates,\r\n3. create your own printable mod or accessory.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n#### Your design could be:\r\n* A functional upgrade (mounts, brackets, cooling tweaks)\r\n* A visual remix (panels, trims, logos, ornaments)\r\n* Or something experimental that completely redefines the original\r\n\r\n\r\nYou don\u2019t even need to own the case \u2014 just download the official files, design your mod, and upload your entry.\r\n### Resources\r\nYou\u2019ll find all the official templates for the [MasterFrame 600](https://www.printables.com/model/1465298-masterframe-600-full-pc-case-step-model-accessorie), [Qube 540](https://www.printables.com/model/1465171-qube-540-full-pc-case-step-model-3d-printing-base), and [Atmos II](https://www.printables.com/model/1465281-atmos-ii-full-aio-liquid-cooling-pump-step-model-3) on the [Cooler Master Printables profile](https://www.printables.com/@CoolerMaster/models).\r\n\r\nEach model includes STP and STL files, so you can easily design and test-fit your ideas.","isOpen":true,"openFrom":"2025-11-03T14:00:00+00:00","openTo":"2025-12-03T22:59:00+00:00","modelsCount":201,"winnerPrize":"Original Prusa MK4S Kit, Cooler Master FreeForm Custom PC Build, Cooler Master Atmos II, Cooler Master Qube 540 and a lot of Prusameters!","entryLink":"","winnersLink":"","printDateValidation":"2025-05-01T00:00:00+00:00","signedModelsCount":null,"maxModelsPerUser":5,"aiGeneratedPrintsDisabled":false,"__typename":"CompetitionType"},{"id":"490","slug":"fall-into-knitting","name":"Fall into Knitting","teaserImageFilePath":"media/competition/teaser_images/None/small_banner_pleteni.jpg","description":"Combine the craft of knitting with the possibilities of 3D printing. We\u2019d love to see 3D-printed tools that directly support the process: holders, tension adjusters, yarn feeders, built-in stitch markers, bobbin organizers, or modular rigs that help with winding, blocking, or storing yarn balls during the work. If your idea leans more toward crocheting rather than knitting, that\u2019s ok too.\r\n\r\nAnd if you\u2019re up for a bigger challenge (which is more than welcome), it can be something as ambitious as a full knitting machine! Like [Circular Sock Knitting Machine by JeepingJohnny](https://www.printables.com/model/355228-circular-sock-knitting-machine-for-my-mom-and-you), a complex but brilliant project that shows how far you can take it.","isOpen":true,"openFrom":"2025-10-01T12:31:40+00:00","openTo":"2025-12-01T21:59:00+00:00","modelsCount":216,"winnerPrize":"Original Prusa MK4S Kit and a lot of Prusameters!","entryLink":"https://blog.prusa3d.com/contest-fall-into-knitting_121788/","winnersLink":"","printDateValidation":"2025-09-01T00:00:00+00:00","signedModelsCount":null,"maxModelsPerUser":5,"aiGeneratedPrintsDisabled":false,"__typename":"CompetitionType"},{"id":"489","slug":"get-creative-with-wago","name":"Get creative with WAGO","teaserImageFilePath":"media/competition/teaser_images/489/small_banner_white.jpg","description":"## **Get creative with WAGO**\r\n\r\nWAGO\u2019s connectors are everywhere. They\u2019re simple, reliable, and instantly recognizable \u2014 especially the iconic 221 series with its little orange lever. But with 3D printing, they don\u2019t have to stay just as they are. Holders, mounts, organizers, covers, or small ergonomic tweaks \u2013 there\u2019s plenty of room to make them more practical or even give them a special look.\r\n\r\n### **The Challenge**\r\n\r\nUse WAGO products as the basis for your design and create a practical 3D-printable solution around them. Think about how connectors are stored, mounted, combined, or integrated into other devices.\r\n\r\nThe Printables community has already shared some great ideas:\r\n\r\n* [WAGO 221 Junction Box for Flex Wire](https://www.printables.com/model/785036-wago-221-junction-box-for-flex-wire-3-core-4-core)\r\n* [Multi-configuration WAGO Junction Box](https://www.printables.com/model/1167757-multiconfiguration-wago-junction-box-free)\r\n* [Shelly DIN Mount with WAGO 221 Terminals](https://www.printables.com/model/284123-shelly-din-mount-with-wago-221-terminals)\r\n* [Shelly RGBW2 WAGO Box](https://www.printables.com/model/463480-shelly-rgbw2-wago-box)\r\n\r\nAnd for even more inspiration, check out what\u2019s already available on WAGO Creators:\r\n\r\n* [221 Series Terminal Block Opener, Table Mounting](https://wago-creators.com/de/design/437)\r\n* [DIN-Rail Adapter for WAGO Miniature Rail-Mount Terminal Blocks](https://wago-creators.com/de/design/388)\r\n* [WAGO Tool Templates for Stripping Tools](https://wago-creators.com/de/design/417)\r\n* [WAGO Tool Templates for Screwdrivers](https://wago-creators.com/de/design/416)\r\n\r\nThese are just a few examples \u2014 the contest is open to any WAGO product, not just the 221. So whether you\u2019re building around lever connectors, PushWire, terminal blocks, or something else, it\u2019s up to you!\r\n\r\n### \u26a0\ufe0f **Important** \u26a0\ufe0f\r\n\r\nThere\u2019s just one extra step to keep in mind: to have your design included in the contest, it needs to be uploaded both to Printables and [wago-creators.com](http://wago-creators.com/de?utm_source=port&utm_medium=ws_prtnr&utm_term=KW42_bp&utm_content=prusacontest2025_awareness&utm_campaign=103040).\r\n\r\nIt\u2019s a tiny bit more work, but it puts you in the running for the prizes!\r\n\r\n#### Edit: \r\nPlease note that the WAGO logo may not be used. There are two important reasons for this:\r\n* Trademark protection: The WAGO logo is a registered trademark and may not be used or modified without express permission.\r\n* Quality promise: The WAGO logo stands for tested quality and functionality. This quality cannot be guaranteed for 3D prints created outside of our production and testing processes.\r\n\r\nWAGO understands that this may be disappointing and that there is a desire to use the logo. However, the trademark must remain protected.\r\nWAGO asks for your understanding. Designs featuring the WAGO logo cannot be considered for the competition.","isOpen":true,"openFrom":"2025-10-15T08:41:02+00:00","openTo":"2025-11-15T21:59:00+00:00","modelsCount":165,"winnerPrize":"
