Criteria

There are several factors that come into play when judging a print & paint. Consider the criteria listed below to help you achieve first place to win the Anycubic Photon Ultra and more top prizes!

  • Print quality - try to not show layer lines in your print or warping on the exterior, allow your print to cure prior to painting.
  • Paint quality - painting your print is optional but a clean paint job can really bring your entry to life and make it a truly accurate representation of the building or sculpture.
  • Picture quality - since you’ve spent so much time and effort on creating a beautiful 3D model, it’s important to showcase your entry clearly with a high-quality focused image.
  • Scene quality - why not set up a scene and put your print (and paint) in its natural environment or put an interesting twist on your entry?

Dany Sanchez of MiniWorld 3D will personally review your entries and pick the winners according to his unmatched expertise.
