# Current Challenge: September 2026
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
As we head into fall, it is time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
Whether it is an everyday household fix or a clever workshop tool, bring in a practical print that solves a problem or makes life easier.
### The Focus: Functional Utility & Everyday Practicality
The goal is to design or print a functional item that serves a practical purpose. This can be anything from a simple door stop, cord clip, or drawer organizer, to a crazy multi-levered bottle or can opener, tool jig, or replacement bracket!
### Submission Requirements
* **Physical Model**: Bring your practical print to the **September 16th, 2026** meetup.
* **Range of Entries**: Anything functional qualifies—from simple everyday utility items to complex mechanical openers or tools.
* **The Story**: Be ready to demonstrate or explain what problem your print solves, how you use it, and your printing/design approach (materials, infill, orientation for strength, etc.).
### Judging & Prize
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on practical usefulness, creativity, and execution.
* **Prize**: The winner will receive a **free spool of filament**!
### Timeline
* **Challenge Announcement**: August 19th, 2026 (at August meetup)
* **Show & Tell / Voting**: September 16th, 2026 (during September meetup)
* **Winner Announcement**: September 16th, 2026 (end of September meetup)
