HOW TO SUBMIT YOUR ENTRY?
EMAIL your photos to entries@hex3d.com
You may include scans also of the 2D artwork, but a photo will suffice.
We will compile the entries at the start of August
A poll will be posted on the 5th of August and the voting will commence. Voting will run until the 20th of August and the winners will be drawn on the 21st of August. All prizes will be mailed out on the 22nd of August.
(Note, due to covid we cannot send items to South Africa still - sorry!)
The voting poll will be held either here or the member depot, to be determined at this stage, whichever has the better format. It must be done within patreon or a member only site, not on facebook as it might be a little skewed there.
Good Luck to everyone who enters!!!

Awesome thanks for the quick response :)

completely ok, LED's. LCD's, grass, slime whatever you want, its purely other props being printed and added I was trying to avoid - but adding flair to it is totally the way to go. I've even had people tell me they are going to use an LCD in the TV which is totally fine too, I will post some updated rules in the coming days so everyone understands they can spruce it up as much as they want as far as additives (ie you could do clear epoxy resin for water on the ground etc
Mitch Gundling
This might be along the same lines, but what about modelling flock etc (I was thinking of adding a little bit of Lichen to the pipes or what have you) would this fall into the same category as additives ?
Irene Haorei
I didn't even know there were updates here, I thought it'd be on the member depot area. Now I know, thanks for the fb updates to point us here!
Geoffro / Hex3D
yes mate, go nuts with lighting, and additives no issues, it was more external props people might print to use in the scene that others may not have had equal access to
Brandon Shane
Hey Geoff are resin additives ok for the 3d print contest? I have been adding dyes and other "fun" stuff into the resin to give the piece some extra lure. There are also channels for lights in the print, is lighting allowed?
Gzus iza Juggalo
This is absolutely amazing! My kids are gonna love this, even just for fun. I don't know if my one 3d printer could even print the entire diorama in time :), but I can surely get them to color some awesome stuff while we binge 80s TMNT cartoons! Thank you for this. It's not often the kids can enter into something.

the Mando Armor where is that helmet and gear at?
Geoffro / Hex3D
sorry, typo. its 3-12... It wasnt going to have a range but enough people expressed concern that we needed to have an age cut off (and in reality it is a very big gap, we'll probably end up giving away alot of bonuses for good efforts :)
DT3DPRINTS
Quick question, for the coloring age group you have 10 and younger and also 3-12 years old. Is it 10 years old and younger or 12? Thanks!
Ryan McElwain
Does hannibal grogu need supports?
LawleStudios
Dude you are too good to us, thank you!
Nathan Libby
I get it. I dont understand how that few of your members are logged into Patreon.
Geoffro / Hex3D
Hey guys, next time anyone wonders why I don't make alot of posts on patreon itself, its because it does not have a great reach (I think maybe 12 likes on this post out of some 4000+ people the notification supposedly went out to...) where as on facebook, in 5 seconds we can have 3/4 of the members see a post immediately.

This is exciting. TMNT grew up watching them in the mornings.
Mighty Jabba's Collection
Wow, excited about the guild navigator!
