One of the beautiful things about the maker community is that the best ideas don't belong to one person. They spread, evolve, and inspire thousands of others. MakerChips are a perfect example!
The idea began with
@K2_Kevin , who shared poker chip templates and provided an inviting way to for people to explore 3D Modeling while they personalized chips to represent themselves, their projects, and their businesses. Other community members contributed tutorials, accessories, and even the
@MakerChipApp online catalog to document all the designs. This year, we had the privilege of watching our friends at the
@JapanRepRapFes embrace MakerChips for the second year in a row in a downright spectacular fashion. The creativity, craftsmanship, and sheer volume of designs were amazing!
We can't wait to see what MakerChips the 3DPrintopia Community comes up with in September. You don't have to design to partake in the fun. Polymaker is providing prizes for collectors on both Saturday and Sunday.
