Dobby’s head on the Statue of Liberty? Obama, Putin & Surprised Patrick as "The Three Graces"? King George IV Equestrian Sculpture with Charizard's head and dragon wings?

We are calling on you to create extraordinary mixes of models from the MyMiniFactory website using MeshMixer. This competition is great for designers and non-designers alike as anyone can download and use MeshMixer - without any design skills required! So what is MeshMixer? It is a free software from Autodesk that allows you to create, edit and mix 3D models in a simple and intuitive manner. We want you to use this  software alongside the MiMiniFactory library to unleash your imagination!

The design with the most downloads at the end of the voting period will win the grand prize of a brand new EinStart-S 3D printer from Shining 3D - a fantastic FDM Desktop 3D printer for all your home 3D printing needs!

So, what are you waiting for? Get downloading and MeshMixing now!
