Challenge: Print the AI-generated model

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. 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.

How to approach it

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

Get the file. Download the model from the Fargo 3D Discord, 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 print of the model.
Prize. The winner takes home a free spool of filament.
