Current challenge: November 2026

Challenge: Thanksgiving & fall table prints

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.

What to build

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.

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.

Judging and prize

Voting. Everyone at the November meetup votes on their favorite entry based on usefulness, print quality, and seasonal fit.
Prize. The winner takes home a free spool of filament.
