# Current Challenge: July 2026
# Current Challenge: August 2026
## Challenge: Scarf Seams
## Challenge: Gridfinity Extravaganza
Master the art of scarf seam placement! This month's challenge focuses on dialing in your scarf seam settings and techniques.
This month, we're diving into the world of **Gridfinity**! Whether you are a long-time user or completely new to the system, it's time to show off your organizational skills.
### The Focus
The scarf seam is a powerful tool in your 3D printing arsenal. This challenge asks you to create a model with a carefully placed scarf seam on a **sphere**. Use this opportunity to experiment with different settings and share what you've learned about getting the perfect seam placement.
One of our community members designed a great test part specifically for this challenge! You can find their test model in our Discord server here:
[Community Scarf Seam Test Part](https://discord.com/channels/743827009494319226/1420553252587438142/1517194820706242570){target="_blank"}
*(If you are not yet a member of our Discord community, you can join us using this link: [Join the Discord](https://discord.gg/EAwhSGMaA){target="_blank"})*
### The Focus: Organizational Efficiency
The goal is to create a functional and well-executed Gridfinity module that solves a real-world storage problem or simply looks great.
### Submission Requirements
* **Physical Model**: Bring your print to the **July 15th, 2026** meetup.
* **Size Constraint**: Your object must fit within a **75mm cubed space**.
* **Seam Location**: The seam must be positioned on a sphere (you can use the bottom half square approach if desired).
* **Settings Discussion**: Be prepared to share your print settings, temperature, speed, and any tricks you discovered for achieving clean scarf seams.
* **Physical Model**: Bring your prints to the August meetup.
* **Required Components**:
* At least one **Gridfinity Base** (the base plate).
* One **Top Accessory** that fits into that base. This can be a bin, a cover, a tool holder, or any other accessory of your choice.
* **The Story**: Be ready to explain what the accessory is for and how you approached the print.
### Judging & Prize
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on utility, creativity, and print quality.
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
