How many designs can we submit for this contest?

Gfisherwils · 2015-09-26T15:24:28.000Z

I think that the more functional designs are downloadable on the internet the better!

This is the first time I’ve heard of SketchUp’s “3D Warehouse”, does this mean we have to use SketchUp to design the objects?

Reminds me of this “classic” by STUDIO MINALE-MAEDA

The accepted files on 3D Warehouse are SketchUp Exports. Check out SketchUp Make its free to use and works well.

May we use another persons desine but give them credit?

Great concept!

Cool contest! So I noticed that entering requires you to like another entry. Does the amount of likes determine the winner?

Dan2001 · 2015-10-20T00:15:52.000Z

I have submitted my model to the Sketchup Warehouse and tagged it with #Sketchup3DHubs and checked the ‘I want this to be 3D printable’ box but it still has not showed up in the collection. What else do I need to do?

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-20T07:29:04.000Z

Hey Mercury, we encourage liking others designs as its good for engaging with the community. The winner will be decided by SketchUp and Flashforge and 3D Hubs based on the criteria above. Thanks

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-20T07:45:32.000Z

Hi Dan, a community manager from SketchUp will move it across for you within 24 hours. I’ll double check with them now. Thanks

Dan2001 · 2015-10-21T19:53:33.000Z

Not to be rude but it has been more than 48 hours sense I have submitted my model on the Sketchup Werehouse and it has not been added to the collection yet. Does the model have to be in the collection to be counted if would you please make sure the the sketchup team gets the models moved.

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-22T10:49:38.000Z

Hi Dan, i’ll shoot them a mail now. Could you send the link to the model on 3D warehouse just so I can be sure they find it?

Dan2001 · 2015-10-22T11:55:31.000Z

3D Warehouse

Desktop Coin Sorter

This desktop coin sorter is meant to have a variety of uses. The ruler slides in from the the top on the left side to complete the wall. Also on the left side, the protractor can be pushed into the side wall. The coin counting containers can be put...

This the link to the model on the 3D Werehouse

Thanks so much .

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-22T12:01:44.000Z

Thanks Dan looks like there’s 68 entries but 85 designs tagged up. Have emailed their marketing manager and community manager for assistance. Great entry

Dan2001 · 2015-10-22T12:06:36.000Z

Thank you for the complement and for helping me get my model submitted.

Vrael · 2015-10-22T12:54:43.000Z

When can we expect the winners to be announced?

Gfisherwils · 2015-10-22T12:59:53.000Z

Hey Vrael,

Winner will be announced around 7 - 10 days after the closing date which is this Sunday. Potentially could be earlier but the judging panel are in three different time zones (U.S, Netherlands and China) so will try to coordinate as efficiently as possible.

Vrael · 2015-10-22T13:05:51.000Z

Thanks for the quick response! Sounds good to me, I’m sure it can be tough like that hahaha. Will there be more similar contests in the future?

mercury · 2015-10-25T22:40:25.000Z

Hi, So I have the same problem that Dan had, I just want to make sure that my model is moved over before the contest ends. Thanks
