# Current Challenge: August 2026
# Current Challenge: September 2026
## Challenge: Gridfinity Extravaganza
## Challenge: Practi"FALL" Prints
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.
As we head into fall, it's time to show off the practical power of 3D printing with **Practi"FALL" Prints**!
### 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.
Whether it's 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 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.
* **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 utility, creativity, and print quality.
* **Voting**: The group will vote on their favorite entry based on practical usefulness, creativity, and execution.
