Design Brief

Hi everyone!

This is Joel from 3D Printing Nerd!

I'm happy to announce I am hosting my first MyMiniFactory design challenge! For this challenge, sponsored by MatterHackers, you need to design a spool holder that fits into the filament shelves I am using in the video above. I have hundreds of spools of filament and it is getting really hard to organise. Now, I need your help to solve this problem!

Get creative and think of the most efficient and original spool holders you can. Don't forget to watch the video above to make sure you understand the theme and have all the information you need to start designing.

Just create, design and print. Then upload it to the MyMiniFactory competition page for your chance to win Matterhackers PRO Series Filament Bundle (including NylonX & Ryno).

I will be judging the submissions so the more creative the better.

Submissions close on August 18th so don’t delay!

Good luck!
