Space Contest With ZYYX and Pinshape
Our Space Design Contest challenged designers to create something that would be useful to astronauts in space. We had a number of incredible entries and we’re excited to share the winning designs!
3rd Place
Universal Wrench by carlosh.obregon
This clever wrench is meant to be adjustable so that astronauts can minimize the number of tools they need to bring to space. With a bit of work orienting the two parts in your designs software, this can be printed in one piece! Congratulations! You won a Crafty 3D Printing Pen from MatterHackers and PLA strands to print with!
Second Place
Mandalorian Deathwatch I-Gauntlet by devvans
This Replica of the Mandalorian Deathwatch Gauntlet from Star Wars is designed to accommodate the iPhone 5 and 6SE.
First Place
This simple and functional design by Chen&Nelly spices up item storage for astronauts. We really enjoyed the gif of their print in action. Congratulations! You’ve won a ZYYX+ 3D Printer, 3 rolls of filament, and a MatterControl Touch T10.
Thanks to all that entered into this design contest! Truly amazing designs and passion put into this contest.
Makitpro and the OpenRC tractor
The OpenRC community has a new shining star: Makitpro and their OpenRC Tractor! Armed with a ZYYX 3D Printer and a tremendous amount of creativity they have put together what we think may very well be the print of the year! Enjoy the wonderful pictures.
The complete OpenRC Tractor project can be followed from this link over at Makeitpro. There’s a ton of interesting mods and additional models to print for the OpenRC Tractor, such as Lifters, Cultivator, Rice rake and much more. If you’d like to get your own 3D Printer to print models like these, please contact us or visit our store for more info.
New Software Update, Simplify 3D Version 3.1
We are happy to announce that Simplify3D version 3.1 now is available as a free upgrade for all existing ZYYX users. All you need to do is download the latest version from the Simplify 3D Website.
The new release includes many new features and improvements to the software platform including:
Intuitive Editing of Internal Supports
Simplify3D has always included some of the best support generation tools available, including the ability to customize the size and location of your support structures. The new release combines this customization functionality with the cross-section tool, allowing you to easily look inside your models and edit internal supports that would otherwise be hidden from the outside.
Improved Automated Mesh Repair
Many 3D models can have mesh errors or defects that will cause problems during printing. Simplify3D attempts to repair many of these common issues behind-the-scenes to make things easier for new users. The latest release continues to improve this functionality, allowing even more models to be printed successfully without user involvement.
Continued Improvements to the Slicing Engine
Improved filtering for small movements during toolpath generation as well as improving the overall slicing engine.
To see all of the other changes in Version 3.1, please visit the Release Notes page.
