Winner Announcement: Old World Magic
Winner Announcement: Old World MagicI'm proud to announce the winners of my hosted contest, Old World Magic! My hope was to capture the feeling of childlike wonder that comes from experiencing something new and quietly magical. I never expected to receive over 600 entries, and I was blown away by the sheer variety and creativity. I already have a few on my desk as a reminder to myself and to spark the imagination of visitors. But only a handful could win, so without further ado…First Prize(receives $500 of my MakerWorld points) Aetheroscope – The Kinetic Moiré Instrument by StudioPrint.3DA truly outstanding concept brought to life with exceptional execution. In use, the moiré effects beautifully exemplify Old World Magic, creating a low-tech illusion that felt as if reality itself were subtly glitching. The result is not just visually striking, but deeply evocative, resembling a device a scientist from centuries past might have used to study parallel worlds.Second Prize(receives $300 of my MakerWorld points) Codex Volante: The Master’s Projection Archive by FreyaA highly engaging, tactile model that projects both light and a genuine sense of wonder. Piecing together the cubes felt like uncovering a slightly ominous secret, and setting it up had a ritualistic quality. The concept becomes even more compelling with the potential for additional projection designs that support interactive storytelling.Third Prize(receives $200 of my MakerWorld points) Puzzle Cube by MaroniAn ornate puzzle cube that evokes a strong sense of mystery and accomplishment. The design and accompanying instructions are impressively detailed, especially for what the designer describes as their first complex 3D model. It is an exciting debut, and I look forward to seeing how their work evolves from here.Honorable Mentions(each receive two of my favorite filaments)Dead Man's Cove - magic treasure mapby Dakine StudiosDur-Kharaz Ulgrim - Ark of the Mountain’s Giftby garrellmcroyLunar Pointer — A Celestial Instrumentby JZ3DMechanical Gear Prototype by Galileoby Centauri3DstudioSteampunk Chronometer - Planetary Geared Calendarby BakermakesDaVinci's Cryptic Lanternby ag1320TalXoma - The Guiding Stoneby Flavia The Magic ContinuesBeyond the prizes listed above, all winners and honorable mentions receive access to my print-at-home adventure, Cryptatrope, which aims to create a bit of Old World Magic of its own.Thank you to everyone who participated and helped bring the magic to life.
