Whether it\u2019s a hand-powered fan, a foldable handheld design, or a small battery-operated spinner, your model should do one thing well: circulate air.

\r\n\r\nWe\u2019ve teamed up with Philips to launch their very first 3D printing design contest! This time it\u2019s all about grooming devices \u2014 from the Philips OneBlade, beard trimmers, and hair clippers, to body groomers, nose & ear trimmers, and even multigroom kits.\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

The Challenge

\r\n
\r\nDesign 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.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nWe'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.\u00a0\r\n
\r\n
\r\n

Valid entry

\r\n
\r\nMAKE SURE YOUR MODEL CLEARLY SPECIFIES THE EXACT PHILIPS DEVICE IT\u2019S MADE FOR. And remember: Don\u2019t modify or create parts that attach to or change the function of Philips devices themselves. That\u2019s a no-go for safety and technical reasons.\r\n\r\n\r\n

Judging Criteria

\r\n\r\n
\r\n\r\n

The overall quality of the model.
Printability \u2013 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 \u2013 If you create something truly unique, it will be rated better than a slightly altered existing model.
Popularity \u2013 Share your model to increase its popularity, and prove that users appreciate such a model.
Your other works \u2013 In case we can\u2019t decide between two favorite designs, we often check your other models to see what you can do.
Assembly instructions \u2013 If your model consists of multiple parts, we check how easy it is to assemble the final product.
Photo quality \u2013 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?

\r\nIt\u2019s easy to participate in this competition. Just follow these simple instructions.\r\n

Design and create a model or improve an already existing one (\u201cremix\u201d) 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\u2019t 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\u2019t be actually done.
Upload the model to Printables.com and make sure it contains:\r\n
1. Model in .3MF or .STL file format (print files are optional)
2. Photo or render of the model (ideally both)
3. Model description
\r\n
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.

\r\nOf course, you can share your model on social networks (Facebook, Instagram, X, Pinterest,\u2026), and don\u2019t forget to add @printablescom. This can help increase the popularity of the model.\r\n
\r\n
