Reward

This is $100k for a large-scale, high T printer.

  1. Grand Prize - $25k. For a winner that produces a working printer that meets design specs and demonstrates a successful print. If the specifications are not met - prize is not awarded at all. Contest deadline is extended and any rules are modified as needed.
  2. Second - 10x $5k
  3. Third - 25x $1k
  4. Crowdfunded - more $1k prizes.

Enterprise model - blueprint must be developed as an Enterprise Manual and a fully-functional plastic plant with high T printer, and filament maker.

  1. Must include a few excellent designs, such as chair, desk, a wikihouse, trim and more.
  2. Design must include an open enterprise blueprint for production, including data on production rates, feedstocks, parameters, etc.
  3. Must use OSE Linux to develop so everyone is coordinated.

Incentives

  1. Collaboration - Prize requires that the task is achieved: if the 4x8' printing printer is not produced AND documented - the reward is not awarded. This forces people to collaborate - as the 6 month deadline is too short for anyone to do it on their own.
  2. Encourage Collaboration - it is in the interest of the development leaders to publish and be transparent - as qaulity documentation is a requirement.
  3. The Team is every participant, and not exclusive teams. There is no subgroup to keep information hidden - points are scored by publishing, collaborating, and educating.
  4. Changing the World with Enterprise - to make this spread, enterprise documentation is required as part of success.
