# Current challenge: November 2026
|
|
|
|
## 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](https://discord.gg/EAwhSGMaA). 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](https://discord.gg/EAwhSGMaA), 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.
|
|
|
|
