Over the past weeks, something started here that I didn’t fully expect. What began as a simple question — asking designers if it would be okay to print their models for children in pediatric oncology — slowly turned into something much bigger. People said yes.  Designers shared their work.  Prints started coming off the machines.And step by step, something real began to take shape.Not planned.  Not structured.  Just growing through the people involved. The idea behind “Pieksekisten” is simple.Children going through treatment often spend a lot of time in situations that are anything but easy.  And sometimes, a small object — something to hold, to play with, to focus on — can make those moments just a little bit better.That’s where all of this is leading. Over the past days, another shift happened.More people joined.  More ideas came in.  And it became clear that this could go beyond just a few prints.Something is forming in the background right now. And today, it’s live.The Pieksekisten Design Contest is now officially open.Together with MakerWorld, we’re opening this up to more creators.You can explore it here and follow along as it grows:https://makerworld.com/en/contests We’re opening this up in a way that allows more creators to become part of it —  not as a typical competition,  but as something that connects what we create with real moments.Not about winning.  Not about numbers.But about creating things that actually reach someone, somewhere, when it matters. I’ll share more as this continues to grow.For now, I just wanted to show you where this is going. —If you want to follow how this evolves: Forum thread  https://forum.bambulab.com/t/charity-3d-printing-for-kids-at-augsburg-pediatric-oncology-pieksekisten/239767 Website  https://thores-pieksekisten.de/ Instagram  https://www.instagram.com/thore_medulloblastom_kaempfer
