As we head into fall, it is time to show off the practical side of 3D printing! Bring in a functional print that solves a problem, repairs something broken, or makes everyday tasks easier.
|
||||
|
||||
**Challenge Requirements:**
|
||||
- Bring your **practical/functional print** (anything from a simple door stop, hook, or clip to a complex bottle/can opener, tool jig, or custom bracket).
|
||||
- Be ready to share what problem it solves, how you use it, and what slicer/material choices you made (infill, perimeters, material strength)!
|
||||
|
||||
Whether you designed it yourself or found a great model on Printables/MakerWorld/Thangs, we want to see how you use 3D printing to fix real-world problems.
|
||||
|
||||
See you there!

|
||||
|
||||
## 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.
