Namesake Contest Winner

The entries to our Printer Namesake Contest were amazing!

To judge them, we brought together the whole Formlabs Staff and cast votes for our favorites. Glib Alligator by Shane Mans emerged as our snake oil selling winner. Heavy Minotaur and Oceanic Hyena were also both crowd favorites, coming in as our runners up.

Glib Alligator, with his little bottle of Black Style Snake Oil Resin and awesome paint job, captures Shane’s printer’s name marvelously.

We fell in love with William Gantt’s photo of Heavy Minotaur using its tiny bulk to bend a penny.

Fabcrobard’s Oceanic Hyena was widely recognized as the creature we would least want to encounter while scuba diving.

We would also like to call out Ancient Moose for a special mention. Valerlo Korax took us along for the journey of creating this awe-inspiring sculpt Ancient in a great forum thread.
