Wow, we had so many really great entries in the Shapeways Photo Contest I am continuously in awe of the creativity and imagination of the Shapeways community.. Of course we see it every day in the models you upload to Shapeways to be 3D printed but it has been really fun to see how you have taken Baroba's Bowie the Bunny and put him into some 'interesting' situations. Take a look at all of the entries on Flickr..

So, I guess it is time to reveal the winner of $500 worth of Shapeways 3D printing....
