Game Design Contest
Ends April 07, 2018
Game Design Contest
This past year has been great for cosplay with the release of popular games like Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Destiny 2, and Monster Hunter World. For this contest, you're tasked to re-create a prop from a video game of your choice for the chance to win prizes from Robo3D, BQ, and Adafruit. Spin up your favorite game and choose your favorite prop, then design and re-create it using 3D printing. To make your design stand out, use additional techniques like painting and/or the inclusion of electronics. Feel free to add your own unique twist to the prop, and as long as your entry is associated with a video game you'll be eligible to win!
