Design Challenge: Submit Your Best Print Made with Filazoo Filament to Win a Bulk Pack

Got something printed in Filazoo filament that you're proud of? Show it off. Every month, we pick one standout submission to win a PLA+ Bulk Filament Pack for Print Farms (10×1 kg) — enough material to fuel your next dozen projects.

This is our ongoing design challenge, not a one-time contest. It runs every month, so there's always a window open.

What Qualifies

• The print must be made in Filazoo filament — any material, any color.
• It can be an original design you modeled yourself, or a remix of an existing design as long as you credit the original creator.
• Submit with a clear photo or short video — good lighting matters more than a fancy camera. A phone photo taken near a window beats a dim garage shot every time.

How to Submit

1. Post your photo or video to Instagram, tag @filazoo, and use the hashtag #MadeWithFilazoo.
2. Or submit directly using the submission form linked in our Instagram bio if you'd rather not post publicly first.
3. Include a line or two about what the print is, what it's for, and which Filazoo material you used — this helps our judges and makes for a better feature if you win.

How We Judge

We're not just looking for the shiniest print. Three things matter roughly equally:

Creativity

Does the design solve a real problem, fill a real gap, or show genuine design thinking? A clever organizer or a well-executed functional part can beat a more decorative piece if the idea behind it is strong.

Print Quality

Clean layer lines, minimal stringing, well-handled supports, and good post-processing or finishing work. We're evaluating the execution, not just the concept.

Difficulty

Complex geometry, tricky overhangs, tight tolerances, or multi-part assemblies that had to actually fit together. A simple print done flawlessly is good; a hard print done well is better.

The Prize

Each monthly winner receives a PLA+ Bulk Filament Pack for Print Farms (10×1 kg) — ten kilograms of PLA+, which is a serious amount of material whether you're running a small farm or just print a lot for fun. Winners are also featured on Filazoo's Instagram and on this blog with credit and a link back to their own page or portfolio, if they'd like one included.

We chose the bulk pack specifically because it rewards the kind of maker who's likely to keep entering. Ten kilograms isn't a token prize you'll use up on one more project — it's enough material to fund your next several designs, which means a win this month can directly fuel an even stronger entry next month.

A Few Entry Tips

If you're on the fence about whether your print is "good enough" to submit, submit it anyway. We see a wide range of skill levels every month, and a well-photographed, clearly explained functional print from a newer maker regularly beats a technically impressive print with no context or bad lighting. Judging weighs all three criteria together, so a strong showing in creativity and difficulty can outweigh a rough edge in execution, and vice versa.

Timeline

The challenge runs on a monthly cycle. Submissions are open continuously — post or submit anytime, and each entry is considered in the monthly window it lands in. Winners are announced on our Instagram and this blog within the first week of the following month.

Need Inspiration?

If you're not sure what to print, our 3D Printing Projects section is full of ideas across difficulty levels, from quick weekend builds to more involved functional designs. Browsing what other makers have submitted in past months on our Instagram is also a good way to gauge what tends to stand out.

Tag @filazoo with #MadeWithFilazoo on your next print, and you're entered. Good luck — we're always excited to see what people build.
