Why to Avoid the Unfair Printables.com Contests
Printables.com 3D print challenges are unfair due to inconsistent rule enforcement, as demonstrated by a recent contest where a three-part, three-color model won despite clear guidelines for two interlocking parts and two colors. This discrepancy reflects a lack of commitment from the jury to uphold contest rules, favoring aesthetics over fairness. Such practices risk alienating participants who adhere to the established criteria, ultimately damaging the competition's integrity. To restore credibility, Printables.com needs to ensure that its contests are judged fairly and transparently.
