# Current challenge: November 2026
## Challenge: Thanksgiving & fall table prints
## Challenge: Print the AI-generated model
With Thanksgiving around the corner, this month's challenge is all about the kitchen and the dinner table. Print something useful for prepping a big meal, serving food, or decorating the table for family and guests.
During our October meetup, we used an AI agent skill to generate a 3D model from photos. We have shared that generated model file in the [Fargo 3D Discord](https://discord.gg/EAwhSGMaA). Your challenge for November is to download the model, print a version of it at any size, and bring it to the November 18th meetup.
### What to build
### How to approach it
Bring a print built for the kitchen or holiday table:
- **Table decor and centerpieces.** Napkin rings, place card holders, autumn centerpieces, or tea light holders.
- **Kitchen prep and organization.** Measuring scoops, pie crust shields, cookie cutters, spice racks, or drawer organizers.
- **Serving and hosting helpers.** Trivet stands, coaster sets, bottle openers, or utensil caddies.
- **Food-contact note.** If your print touches food directly, tell us how you handled food safety, such as using a food-safe resin coating, clean nozzle setup, or keeping the print as an outer holder for a glass or dish.
Since everyone starts with the same AI-generated geometry, you can take your print in any direction:
- **Any scale counts.** Print a tiny nozzle test version, keep it at original scale, or scale it up to max out your printer bed.
- **Material and color choice.** Run it in silk PLA, multi-color, CF filament, flexible TPU, or translucent PETG.
- **Slicer and support tuning.** AI-generated CAD models can have quirky overhangs or geometry. Tell us how you oriented the part, tuned supports, or remixed the mesh to get a clean print.
### Submission rules
* **Physical model.** Bring your print to the **November 18th, 2026** meetup.
* **Open to all makers.** Original CAD models and community files from Printables, MakerWorld, or Thangs are both welcome. Bonus points if you built or modified your CAD model using the AI workflow from last month's session.
* **The story.** Tell the group how you printed it, what filament you chose, especially if heat resistance mattered, and how it worked in the kitchen.
* **Get the file.** Download the model from the [Fargo 3D Discord](https://discord.gg/EAwhSGMaA), or generate your own model with AI.
* **No AI model? Bring a cool print.** If you do not have an AI-created object ready, bring any cool print you have made recently so everyone can still participate.
* **Physical model.** Bring your print, at any size, to the **November 18th, 2026** meetup.
* **The story.** Share your scale percentage, filament, slicer settings, and how the print turned out on your machine.
### Judging and prize
* **Voting.** Everyone at the November meetup votes on their favorite entry based on usefulness, print quality, and seasonal fit.
* **Voting.** Everyone at the November meetup votes on their favorite print of the model.
* **Prize.** The winner takes home a free spool of filament.
