A 3D printing challenge about camouflage, poses, and pure imagination.Event Period: July 7 – July 27, 2026 (20 days) The best hiding isn't about disappearing into the dark — it's standing in the light, and still going unseen.One figure. One pose. One perfectly chosen spot — it could be a plant in your flowerpot, an ornament on your shelf, or a little decoration on the corner of your desk.Whoever spots it will freeze for a second… then burst out laughing.Now it's your turn. 🏆 What You Can Win8 makers will win the Best Hiding Spot Award. The cleverer and more unexpected your hide, the better your chances. How to JoinThere are two ways to play — pick one, or do both.🖨 Print & Hide (Main Track)1. Pick a figure from our collection to download and print — or search "hide figure" on MakerWorld to explore more.2. Hide it in a real scene around you — home, office, a coffee shop…3. Take a photo or video.4. Post it to the MakerWorld community with the tag #HideAndSeekChallenge. → Enters the Best Hiding Spot Award 👇 Start here — the Hide & Seek collection:Hide & Seek: Blend-In🔍 Spot the Figure (open to everyone — no printer needed!)Hunt for the figures other makers have tucked into their photos, and prove you've got the sharpest eyes in the community.💡 Got modeling skills? Upload your own original "hide figure" design (tagged #HideAndSeekChallenge) so others can download and print it. Standout models get featured with official recommendation exposure. 🎬 See How It WorksNew here? See how other makers pull it off:📱 On TikTok — ▶️ [Watch on TikTok]▶️ Hand-drawn with markers ▶️ Multi-color print, then hidden in the scene▶️ Printed white, then painted with kids for a family hide-and-seek 📸 On Instagram▶️ Single-color filament print that blends right in▶️ Spot all the hiders▶️ Hidden in plain sight on a city street Creative Directions🎭 Camouflage: Make It Look Like It BelongsThe whole challenge comes down to one thing — disguise. Blend your figure into a real scene so well that people's eyes slide right past it:Strike a cactus pose and stand it in a flowerpotSneak into a bowl of instant noodles, one hand crying for helpHug a book spine and become "a book" on the shelf✨ Level Up | Give It a StoryWant to stand out? Give your figure an identity or a little plot that makes people grin when they spot it:A ninja frozen mid-infiltration in the cornerA cookie thief pretending to be a vaseAn introvert who decided to "become one with the sofa"Tip: Mimic the shapes of everyday objects with your poses; paint or swap filament so your figure truly disappears; then add a hint of motion (just landed? mid-climb? startled?). The more absurd-yet-plausible, the better. Awards & Judging🏆 Best Hiding Spot Award — for the most creative disguise + the most surprising scene.8 winners, each receiving a $20 gift cardJudging Criteria: Fun · Blend-in · Scene creativity · Photo quality · EngagementResults: Winners will be announced in this post on Aug 5, 2026, and contacted via MakerWorld Chat (private message).💡 Each maker can win once — but the more hides you post, the better your chances. Together, let's end this game of hide-and-seek in the loudest, most joyful way.Printing a figure is easy.

Hey makers 👋 Bad first layer? Spaghetti print? Stringing everywhere? Warped corners? Nozzle clog right when the print was almost done? Yep, we’ve all been there.That’s why we’re opening Print Clinic — a community space for sharing print issues, troubleshooting together, and helping each other get better prints. When you need help, post with #PrintClinic. Whether you’re brand new to 3D printing or you’ve already rescued a dozen failed prints, you’re welcome here.

Hi Makers,Since the Pieksekisten Design Contest began, we’ve seen an incredible amount of support from the community.Many of you shared kind words. Many of you submitted designs. And some of you asked a simple question:Is there a way to help, even if I’m not submitting a model?Today, the answer is yes.We’ve created a new Pieksekisten Project Points Donation page, where MakerWorld users can choose to donate their points to @JamesDaRock in support of this project.This is the first time points donation has been introduced for a charity initiative on MakerWorld, and it comes directly from something we heard from the community: a real desire to help.Why this matters@JamesDaRock and his family have spent years supporting children in pediatric cancer care through Pieksekisten — small boxes filled with toys and little surprises that bring comfort after difficult treatments.The design contest was created to help fill those boxes with safe, joyful 3D printable models. But along the way, many community members wanted to contribute in other ways too.Since there wasn’t previously a clear path for point donations tied to a project like this, we built a simple way to make that possible.How it worksVisit the Pieksekisten Project — Points Donation pageEnter the number of points you’d like to donateAfter donating, your name and donated points will appear on the page, making your support part of this shared community effortDonors may also receive a warm thank-you message from @JamesDaRockMakerWorld will transfer the donated points to @JamesDaRock to help provide the 3D printers, filaments, and related supplies needed to keep creating gifts for children in treatment.Donation PeriodStart: April 21End: June 1The main donation campaign runs during this period, alongside the contest. You can also view the contest page here:👉 https://makerworld.com/en/contests/138?The donation page will remain available after June 1 so the community can continue to visit the page and follow the project.A small way to make a real differenceNot everyone can contribute in the same way — and that’s exactly why this matters.Whether you design, print, share, or donate a few points, you’re helping turn creativity into something meaningful for children who are going through an incredibly hard time.If you’d like to be part of that, we’d love to invite you to join in.👉 Visit the Pieksekisten Project Points Donation Page Thank you for continuing to make this community generous, creative, and full of heart. ❤️
