As expected, Skyfall stormed the cinemas; broke some records, and even had a few of us reaching for our tissues during that scene. While the rest of us are now looking forwards to The Hobbit, opening next month, one talented Giz UK reader will soon be receiving a pretty unique Skyfall souvenir -- designed by their own fair hands in our 3D Printing Challenge.

We've extended the deadline for this month's James Bond-themed 3D Printing Challenge, as have only received two -- yes, two! -- entries. So, if you want to win a Tokyoflash watch of your choosing, please get your entries in by Friday 19th. [3D Printing Challenge] Read More >>
Skyfall! It's all we can think about here at Giz UK, but luckily there are just...59 days until cinemas reload their pistols with the latest in the James Bond series. With our latest 3D Printing Challenge, we want you to look at the Bond universe: the cars; the martinis; the guns; the Bond girls, and create a 3D render to be in with the chance to win a model of your own design, plus a Tokyoflash watch.

The winning model in our latest 3D Printing Challenge is so flippin' (heh) awesome, that I'm very tempted to ask Nick at 3DPrintUK if he can make one for me. We asked for Olympics-themed models, and seven utterly incredible entries were sent in...but only one can win a 3D print of their design, and a Tokyo Flash watch of their choosing. Read More >>

After a brief hiatus, our monthly 3D Printing Challenge is back with a vengeance. What better way to parody celebrate the London 2012 Olympics, than by designing your own CAD image depicting a sport; an athlete; an Olympics stadium, or even the Olympics logo itself... Read More >>
A month ago, we set you the challenge of creating a computer-rendered design somehow related to Las Vegas, which is of course the setting for any tech nerd's fantasy, given that's where the CES trade-show is held every January. We had some amazing entries this month, but only one can be slovenly 3D-printed out by our main man Nick at 3DPrintUK. That winner is...16-year-old Ryan! Read More >>
Today is the last day to create a 3D render and enter it into this month's 3D Printing Challenge, where the winner will see their entry printed out using 3DPrintUK's 3D printer, plus awarded the watch of their choice from Tokyo Flash. This month's theme being Las Vegas, you've got a roulette wheel of possible choices. [3D Printing Challenge] Read More >>
CES is the most-circled week on any tech nerd's calendar, but Ballmer on a pogo-stick, it's a lot of hard work for us tech bloggers! Want to know what takes the same amount of time your average tech-blogger takes to queue for the Sony conference? Designing your very own 3D model, that's what. Read More >>

Even with most of you being too busy scoffing mince pies to enter this month's 3D Printing Challenge, we still got some superb entries for santa's high-tech sleigh. Of the six that entered though, only one can win an actual 3D print of their design, plus a Tokyo Flash watch of their choosing... Read More >>

Currently, you stand a good chance of winning this month's 3D Printing Challenge, friends. It must be the many eggnog-quaffing occasions December offers, because Nick at 3DPrintUK tells me we've only had a couple of entries to this month's high-tech sleigh design competition. Fire up Google SketchUp, or your preferred CAD programme, and enter to win fame; your 3D printed model, and a Tokyo Flash watch. Read the rules here. Read More >>

The clock is t-t-t-t-ticking, as you've got just 13 days to get your entry in for our second 3D printing challenge. This month our theme is high-tech sleighs, and as we've got a Tokyo Flash watch up for grabs (and will 3D print your model for keepsies), you don't have any valid arguments to dilly-dally, do you?

Instead of battling the crowds at your nearest shopping centre, we recommend you really get into the festive spirit by downloading some free CAD software and having a go in this month's 3d Printing Challenge. You can win a 3D-printed model of your own design, plus a Tokyo Flash watch of your choosing. Read More >>

After receiving some weird and wonderful entries to our first-ever 3D Printing Challenge, we've not only selected a winner, we've actually 3D PRINTED THE SHIT out of the winner. Well, we didn't 3D print the creator of the winning model...that'd just be weird (and expensive). Read More >>
