# 3D Print Meetup Challenges
|
||||
|
||||
## 🗓️ October 2025 Challenge: "Is it Glass or Clearly Natural?"
|
||||
|
||||
### 🎯 Challenge Overview
|
||||
|
||||
Experience the clarity of 3D Fuel's "Clearly Natural" filament in this transparency-focused challenge! Participants will attempt to create the clearest possible print, testing the limits of clear filament printing techniques.
|
||||
|
||||
### 📋 Challenge Rules
|
||||
|
||||
#### Materials & Constraints
|
||||
|
||||
- **Filament**: 3D Fuel "Clearly Natural" - Available in two variations:
|
||||
- PCTG (Polyethylene Terephthalate Glycol)
|
||||
- PLA (Polylactic Acid)
|
||||
- **Maximum Filament Usage**: 250g per entry
|
||||
- **Model**: Pre-supplied design (will be distributed to participants)
|
||||
|
||||
#### Competition Categories
|
||||
|
||||
- **PCTG Division**: For prints using Clearly Natural PCTG
|
||||
- **PLA Division**: For prints using Clearly Natural PLA
|
||||
- **Overall Winner**: Best clarity across both divisions
|
||||
|
||||
#### Judging Criteria
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Clarity & Transparency** (40%): How clear and glass-like is the final print?
|
||||
2. **Print Quality** (30%): Surface finish, layer adhesion, and overall structural integrity
|
||||
3. **Technique Innovation** (20%): Creative printing techniques to maximize transparency
|
||||
4. **Challenge Adherence** (10%): Following material constraints and using supplied model
|
||||
|
||||
#### Submission Requirements
|
||||
|
||||
- **Weight Verification**: Final print must be weighed to confirm 250g filament limit
|
||||
- **Documentation**: Include photos showing transparency (with light sources)
|
||||
- **Settings Documentation**: Share printer settings used (layer height, temperature, speed, etc.)
|
||||
- **Process Notes**: Brief description of techniques used to achieve clarity
|
||||
|
||||
#### Evaluation Process
|
||||

- Experiment with layer heights (smaller often helps with clarity)
|
||||
- Consider post-processing techniques (vapor smoothing, sanding)
|
||||
- Optimize print orientation for minimal support material
|
||||
- Temperature tuning can significantly impact clarity
|
||||
