Hot Pursuit Video Contest

Why do we love cars? Because with a car, you decide where to go, how to get there, and what to do. We like to think our Snapmaker 3-in-1 3D Printers give you the same kind of control and ability to pursue your dreams as your car does. With that in mind, here is our latest challenge, the Snapmaker: Hot Pursuit video contest. Use your Snapmaker to:
  •   • Build something for your actual car, OR
  •   • Make automotive themed artwork, OR   • Print a model car Your creation can be a unique design you made yourself, or something simple that you downloaded off the internet. 3D Printing, Laser Cutting/Engraving, and CNC Carving are all fantastic. Feel free to stretch the theme a bit, like if you want to build an RC Motorcycle, or re-create a famous racetrack's architecture. The contest will run from September 12th to October 10th, 11:59pm Monaco Time

    12 Sep 2024 - 10 Oct 2024
