+
+**Never use the unicode multiplication symbol (×, U+00D7) in any documentation, code, or markdown.**
+
+Always use a plain lowercase 'x' for dimensions and multiplication.
+
+- WRONG: `25mm × 25mm × 25mm`
+- CORRECT: `25mm x 25mm x 25mm`
+
+# Git Instructions
+
+- If a git command fails due to authentication reasons, retry the command exactly once.
+
+# Wiki Tagging Standards
+
+All wiki pages should use YAML frontmatter for tagging.
+
+## Challenge Tags
+All challenge pages must include the following tags:
+- `challenge`: Identifies the page as a challenge.
+- `challenge-NNN`: A unique sequential identifier.
+   - `challenge-001`: October 2025
+   - `challenge-002`: November 2025
+   - `challenge-003`: December 2025
+   - Increment for subsequent months.
+- `archive`: (Optional) Use this tag when the challenge is no longer active.
+
+## Visibility Tags
+- `hidden`: Use this tag to prevent the page from being published to the fargo3d.com website.
+
+# Challenge Lifecycle
+
+Challenges follow a specific monthly cycle:
+1. **Announcement**: A challenge is announced at the meetup in Month X.
+2. **Execution**: Participants work on the challenge between Month X and Month X+1.
+3. **Judging**: Results are brought to and judged at the meetup in Month X+1.
+
+**Example:**
+- **November Challenge**: Announced in November, Judged in December.
+- **December Challenge**: Announced in December, Judged in January.
+
+**Wiki Page Roles:**
+- **Current-Challenge.md**: Displays the challenge currently in the "Execution" phase (announced last month, to be judged at the upcoming meetup).
+- **Upcoming-Challenge.md**: Displays the challenge to be announced at the upcoming meetup.
+
+# Content Synchronization
+
+The `wiki-fargo3d` submodule contains the official documentation. Some content is mirrored in the main repository root.
+
+- **Readme.md vs wiki-fargo3d/Home.md**: Keep announcements and general descriptions in sync.
+- **challenges.md vs wiki-fargo3d/Current-Challenge.md**: `challenges.md` should reflect the active challenge found in the wiki.

+# December 2025 Challenge: "Bring Your Test Models"
+
+This month's challenge is all about the models we use to test, tune, and calibrate our printers. Everyone has a favorite "go-to" print—whether it's a Benchy, a calibration cube, a torture test, or something unique you've found.
+
+**Bring your favorite test models to the meetup!**
+
+## Challenge Details
+
+### The Goal
+Share what test models you use and why. Do you use them for:
+- Calibrating dimensional accuracy?
+- Testing overhangs and bridging?
+- Tuning retraction settings?
+- Checking first layer adhesion?
+- Just for fun?
+
+### Submission Requirements
+- **Physical Model**: Bring your printed test model(s) to the January meetup.
+- **Explanation**: Be prepared to share *why* this is your favorite test model and what it helps you achieve.
+
+### Voting & Awards
+- **Group Vote**: The group will vote on what they think is the **Best Test Model**.
+- **Criteria**: Usefulness, uniqueness, or just plain coolness!
+

+# November 2025 Challenge: "Wait, This Was Printed? How Are There No Layer Lines?"
+
+## Challenge Overview
+
+Can you achieve the smoothest, most layer-line-free surface finish possible? This challenge pushes your printer tuning, slicer settings, and material knowledge to the limit. The goal is simple but difficult: create a 25mm cube with 2 walls and no top that looks so smooth, people question whether it was actually 3D printed!
+
+This challenge focuses on:
+
+- Surface finish quality and smoothness
+- Proper printer calibration and tuning
+- Optimal slicer settings for layer adhesion
+- Material selection and temperature control
+- The art of making layer lines disappear
+
+## Challenge Rules
+
+### Materials & Constraints
+
+- **Filament**: 3D Fuel filament (any type: PLA+, Pro PLA+, PCTG etc.)
+- **Nozzle Requirement**: Must use a 0.4mm nozzle (REQUIRED)
+- **Estimated Filament Usage**: Approximately 3 grams (for reference only)
+- **Model Specification**:
+  - **Dimensions**: Exactly 25mm × 25mm × 25mm cube (REQUIRED)
+  - **Wall Count**: Exactly 2 walls (no more, no less) (REQUIRED)
+  - **Top Layers**: 0 (no top surface)
+  - **Bottom Layers**: Standard (as needed for proper adhesion)
+  - **Infill**: 0% (hollow interior)
+- **Print Mode**: Standard FDM/FFF printing (no resin printing)
+
+### Competition Categories
+
+- **Smoothest Surface**: Best overall surface finish with minimal visible layer lines straight off the printer
+- **No post-processing allowed** - cubes must be judged as-printed
+
+### Judging Criteria
+
+1. **Layer Line Visibility** (100%): The appearance and visibility of layer lines - less visible is better
+   - All cubes must meet basic challenge requirements (25mm cube dimensions, exactly 2 walls, no post-processing)
+   - Winner is determined solely by smoothness of surface and minimal layer line appearance
+   - **Tiebreaker**: If two prints are too close to differentiate, the fastest print time wins
+
+### Submission Requirements
+
+- **Physical Model**: Bring your printed 25mm cube to the December meetup for judging
+- **Dimension Verification**: Must be exactly 25mm x 25mm x 25mm
+- **Wall Count Verification**: Must show exactly 2 walls when inspected
+- **Print Time**: Record and report your total print time (used as tiebreaker if needed)
+- **Documentation**: Include photos showing:
+  - Close-up surface details
+  - Overall cube appearance
+  - Cross-section or wall thickness (optional)
+- **Settings Documentation**: Share your winning settings:
+  - Layer height
+  - Print temperature

+- **FreeCAD**: Create cube with specified dimensions
+- **Any CAD Software**: Simple cube 25mm × 25mm × 25mm
+- **Use provided file**: Open `Challenge Files/November2025/Cube.3mf` directly
+
+### Basic Cube Setup
+
+### Slicer Configuration
+
+1. **Create or Download Model**:
+   - Use the provided `Challenge Files/November2025/Cube.3mf` file
+   - Or create using any CAD software (25mm × 25mm × 25mm cube)
+   - Or use the Bambu Studio/Orca Slicer primitive steps above
+
+2. **Slicer Settings** (Critical):
+   - **Dimensions**: 25mm × 25mm × 25mm
+   - **Wall Count/Perimeters**: 2
+   - **Top Layers**: 0
+   - **Bottom Layers**: 3-5 (as needed)
+   - **Infill**: 0%
+   - **Layer Height**: Your choice (hint: smaller = smoother, but slower)
+
+3. **Tips for Success**:
+   - **Lower layer heights** (0.1mm-0.12mm) help reduce visible lines
+   - **Slower speeds** improve surface quality
+   - **Temperature tuning** is critical for layer adhesion
+   - **Linear advance/pressure advance** can help with consistency
+   - **Proper cooling** prevents warping without sacrificing layer bonding
+   - **Material choice** matters - some filaments naturally produce smoother surfaces
+
+### Advanced Techniques to Consider
+
+- **Slicer Tricks**:
+  - Adjust line width for better wall fusion
+  - Experiment with different seam positions
+  - Use variable layer heights if supported
+  - Try different acceleration/jerk settings
+
+- **Material Selection**:
+  - Experiment with different 3D Fuel filament types
+  - Colors can also give different appearance levels
+
+### What NOT to Do
+
+- Do not exceed 2 walls
+- Do not add a top surface
+- Do not deviate from 25mm cube dimensions
+- **No post-processing allowed** (no sanding, heat treatment, chemical smoothing, etc.)
+
+
+Good luck creating the smoothest cube possible! May your layer lines vanish into nothingness!
