Wow quite a few entries to go through this time around. For the 3D Printing Event Challenge we had 333 submissions - how appropriate that 333 people are trying to win a 3D Printer. Beyond numbers, there were some great stuff on the page, from the nutty to the professional.
We received 117 submissions for the Creative Watch Challenge. We were really happy with some of the ideas behind many of the designs, and how GrabCADrs came up with some poignant and thoughtful stories to underline their efforts. It was also a pleasure to see Louie Dietz from Woodchip Design so heavily involved with the whole challenge, helping out and giving advice to those who needed it. As usual, there were a number of submissions missing near the end. We apologize about that and we will be fixing it shortly.
