It's been said that invention is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration, and there was no better place to find it than this GrabCAD challenge! All the winners here worked hard to design something useful and 3d printable, complete with user manual - so a big handclap to the submitters! But one thing that made us really happy at GrabCAD: everyone was helping each other out. Especially our jury of select and hardened team of crack GrabCAD engineers - a big round of applause for their input too.
