Join the Keychain CustomMaker Challenge by Sunday September 13th at 12 PM EST and get 15$ by replying to this message with a link to your product.
3D printing enables anyone to create amazing products - from jewelry and figurines to drone accessories and keychains. Now, with the release of CustomMaker, every product can be instantly personalized to every shopper.
Over the next few months, we'll be putting out design challenges to our community to challenge you to use CustomMaker to make the best products for shoppers! Our first CustomMaker Challenge for phone cases was great, you can see the results and join the conversation here. For this challenge, design a keychain, upload it to Shapeways.com, enable CustomMaker to let your customers personalize it and share it with the community to get $15 in Shapeways Money. No purchase is necessary to participate and receive the credit - all you need to do is upload a case you designed, enable CustomMaker and share it below.
Shapeways will also choose our favorite models to be printed, professionally photographed and included in promotional material. By participating in the challenge you grant us permission to do so. Models be picked on the basis of creativity, manufacturing feasibility and presentation.
All Submission are due by Sunday September 13th at 12 PM EST. Shapeways Money will be processed the following week.
How to Join the Challenge:
1
Design a keychain
Using your favorite 3D modeling software, design a keychain. Keychains do not need to be new, you can use keychains you've already designed. Feel free to design for whatever material you think is best.
2
Upload Your Design to Shapeways
Open up a Shapeways shop (if you don't already have one). Upload your model* using the upload button. Put your model in the 'Accessories' and 'Keychains' categories and tag it as is relevant. Set your model to 'public' and 'for sale' in your Model Details page. Set the prices with your markup for the materials you want to offer in (we'd recommend the Strong and Flexible family) Models must be *.stl or *.obj
3
Activate CustomMaker to Personalize Your Design
In your model's 'Customization' field, enable CustomMaker so shoppers can personalize your phone case with text and/or an image. Make sure that the text or image fits on the case correctly and that the shopper has instructions to understand the maximum number of characters they can use. Remember to set an adequate embossed or engraved depth for the materials that shoppers could purchase
4
Share Your Entry!
Share a link to your product in the thread below along with a photograph or render. Remember you can share as many products as you want, but only one credit will be given per shop. Then help choose which you think are the best entries.
