It's a loooooong video, but I wanted to share as many of these awesome entries as possible! Did you have any favorites? Got any ideas for more panels that still need to be made?

PLA sweating wouldn't actually be an issue for an irregation system like that, seedlings are usually grown in egg cartons or little newspaper cups because when the water can exist evenly everywhere, you have a very nice distribution of moisture in the soil! so actually PLA is ideal for a seedling nursery :))

Hahaha I got obscessed as soon as you released the system, so much fun! Congrats to all the winners and loved seeing all the neat ideas.

I had alot of fun designing different panels! Thankyou soo much devin for sharing the polypanel idea and letting us run with it !

If I end up teaching another engineering or CAD course I’ll make the poly panel competition an annual event!

I am so happy you liked my fabric Polypanels Thank you for showing them in the video.

This is by far one of the most creative MyMiniFactory design challenges. People really went all out and got very creative. I like and agree with the winners. Then again every entrant is a winner because PolyPanels are now a living and growing thing. Also I was very surprised that Devon covered so many of the entries. There were A LOT of them. I got the sense he was gassed there towards the end so don't feel bad if he didn't every your's in detail. I mean there were so many!!! Well done and congrats to one of the best Design Challenges I've seen. It was also well administered with very deserving winners selected.

I love how big of an influence this channel has on not only KZfaq, but the rest of the internet and engineering community. You really bring everyone together for the better, it really is amazing.

Thanks so much for adding so much to the 3D printing/design community, Devin! The turnout for your competition was unbelievable and I had fun participating! Can't wait to get printing all these cool submissions...

It's silly but this video made me a little emotional around 8:40 - especially seeing that phone case by Renee Taylor. I'm new to the 3D printing community so I'm just now getting to see these things but it's so absolutely awesome that we make and share designs for people to use just for the love of it. I can't tell you how many things around my house were designed by people all over the world that spent that time tinkering back and forth in their bedrooms because they needed that ONE THING. Then they shared it. For me because I ALSO needed that ONE THING. It's just fantastic. The humanity of it is quite moving. It's hard to put into words but I'm sure you get what I'm trying to say. I had someone make one of my designs for the first time and comment that it worked - for the first time ever yesterday. A lip balm cap for a very uniquely shaped lip balm. I spent probably 3 hours and 4 versions to get the dimensions right. My first time using 3D modeling so it was NOT easy. and yesterday, that someone needed that thing and made it because of the time I spent. That's such a great feeling. I'm honestly still smiling thinking that my effort is jingling around someone's pocket or purse somewhere in the world. I must admit, when I bought my 3D printer, it was a rather selfish idea. To be able to create *whatever* I wanted *whenever* I wanted instead of debating with my wallet at the store. What I did not see coming was the positivity that this hobby has brought into my life. The community. The creativity. Seeing the world in a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT WAY. "How can I improve this?" "Is there better way?" - It's like I'm seeing the world in 3D for the first time, honestly. (pun was not intended hahaha) You guys all rock. Thank you for the inspiration.

I think Renee Taylor’s phone was crazy and very useable. She was definitely up there with those winners!

I’ve never seen or heard of poly panels, who knew, but they are so cool. Thanks so much for sharing!

Even though the quality would be terrible and the joints would probably bend due to the stress from the motors, someone should design a Polypanel 3D printer to print more Polypanels!!

This competition allowed a system that is very virsitile and potentially very useful. I hope this continues to expand and grow for another year to where someof these models can be remixed and refined as people use them to make things.

Thanks for featuring my entry! I regret not being able to add more polyplanet pieces because I have exams but I will add more in the future!

damn i just now realized i have a million ideas for pegboard connectors and tool holders

You should market these as toys. The painting idea and the Viking ship and etc would be amazing. I could totally see these on shelves!

i did a few things with the panels just never got around to submitting it buts was fun to play with them and will keep going

Instantly jumped to 2X speed on this, but watching all of this is highly recommend.

Congratulations to all the winners! This competition is so inspiring! It's great to see so many cool ideas and be part of the competition! Hope you guys will like the prizes! =)

The polypanel to anything panels are great!

Omg SO MUCH INFO! But I love it! I now have soooooo many things I wanna try now.

Very cool competition and your winners were really above and beyond. 👍👍👍😀

I missed the competition, & only just got to watch the video series, but I am totally inspired! I'm going to combine some custom polypanel designs with other to integrate some electronics & make, um - I don't know what yet., :-D

such a cool vid!! so happy this worked out

Random person: Um, Devin, is there a- Devin: THERE'S A POLYPANEL FOR THAT!

Incredible, what you started there. I am impressed. Greetings from Germany...

Use the 3-D pen to make a PC case with the filament PEI Ultum 1010

Awesome stuff, how very cool, really makes your mind open up to all kinds of fantastic amazing inventions! YES!

8:49 this goes on to be a kickstarter where you can make a custom phone case design, or fidget cube with your favorite fidgets

that was a very inspiration way of spending 36 minutes. Thank yoU! I'm off to make stuf!

I love that you wore the hat the whole video!

Ooo that fabric holding poly panel made me think that I should try printing decorative embroidery hoops

what a pity we missed this competition, we would have love to participate!

same idea Renee! great minds!

Awesome!

awesome!

Cassandra 2020! (she tried!)

I think you could use this system with a loose fit, if you smooth the edges as a more solid exterior(so it feels ok on skin), the half sized ones to fit close to your skin, and print it out of a flexible filament. I would also like to see an officially recognized poly panel list of: who made it(people who made similar stuff, with the date there file was made), what it is used for. So that people don’t end up creating the same panels over and over. It would also allow people to create a kit list of what is needed to create something.

someday I want to make a big screen out of leds, too

I had so many ideas sadly I am in the mood to make those real. I am just too lazy😅. At least I used the time to design my other ideas😉

IT IS GIF!

I'd recommend to watch at 1.5 speed, but still very good video

have you tried sublimating on them what temperature can they stand up to

Can you please review more printers because I’m thinking of getting one for my birthday and it’s been a long time since you’ve done a review and the ones that you can done are quite outdated Thanks ❤️

I think there should be a vid on the polypanel led screens.

I like the ones where you take your shirt off. Make more of those!

Awesome job everyone! Mine was the only catan not featured :(

“Crazy rhombuses” 😂 HAHAHA made my day!

Yesss

I thought the competition was to create different types of polypanel panels for new way to use them but it was competition to create models using the polypanels. My bad... and I hoped at least one price printer would be given to a person who doesn't own a 3D printer.

Polypanel smart speaker?

The heart with your name inside was mine! I am sure you can tell by the same logo

Try making an edge matching puzzle using polypanels.

"I tried" - I cried. :D

Oh yeah

am i the only one who has no idea what settlers of katan is

I too decorate my walls with business cards

Love these panels😍

Your hat looks like a llama face

Congrats to the very deserving winners! I think a lot of submissions didn't actually get put under the 'See all entries' page on MyMiniFactory.

I love this

Are you feeling ok, man?

Other contestants: polypanel to fillygon polypanel to lego polypanel to plastic tubing Michael Leitner-Young: polypanel to e g g

- That was loud. I know, right? Literally the first time you hit that thing in the video got a spontaneous "Ow." from me %)

There was a toy call model 8 which was pretty much the same thing XD

What is the real version of these called? I found a bunch of these in a thrift store maybe about eight years ago, but I have no idea what they're called, they're actually injection molded so, I know it's not one of the 3D printed ones.

Imagine making a 3D printer out of 3D printed poly panels. That would be cool.

Somebody needs to make a Nintendo labo kit

I thought the mirror was another room and you just threw it into a portal

4:50 probably my fav

I thought this competition was about new panels, but first prize went to a video of something made with existing panels. Confused.

Next project.... Full body armour!

Is there any type of simulator toy I could get in a toy store my friend loves these but I dont have a 3d printer and the only place ik of with one would charge me an arm and a leg to print this

PLEASE GO ON SHARK TANK AND MAKE POLYPANELS A PRODUCT!!!!! this is how many people think he should ⬇️

I don't know about the speaker thing, because of the gaps, resonance would be nonexistant, and the speaker playing might cause the pastic parts to rattle and add unwanted noise.

Its sad that lego poly panel got ignored

What is featured in my minifactory?

Impressive results Thanks for sharing :-)

I had these in elementary school we used them for math

30:52 my design is in the top right corner

I got an awesome idea for another competition...… Using polypanels make something for arm/arm and shoulder/ arm and shoulder and side of chest...….. create something with these panels like a media entertaining system. for example phone on chest with speakers on shoulder and maybe some lights on arm...…….. you know doing something off in left field that is really cool... Make Anything contact me if you want to, I have loads of ideas

0:47 Turn it to the left and it goes to the opposite direction How?

Brien Allison made an oil rig

Where are my magnetic Polly panels some one should make something like that

nice Jif

30:55 for winners

Can you redo the competition?

Where are the peanut butter animations at? Jif?

is it an official product

Hey devin I was wondering if you could review an Ultimaker 3D printer 🙏

More 3d pen videos pliz

There is a panel for that! :D

Poly gears + Screens, Treds, ECT = Tekno gears

yea moving jif animation LOL

I'd make some but 1 I can't 3D model, 2 I don't have a 3D printer, and 3 I bet everyones already made something similar to my idea already

I had a winning idea that I couldn't implement, so if anyone wants to give it a go: **Compliant Mechanism Panels** (2 panels with a compliant switch between them, etc.)

I really wish I had a 3D printer

gasp! i can make a gyroelongated square bipyramid with these! Strictly convex deltahedrons here i come! Edit: He already started! he made the gyroelongated pentagonal bipyramid! We will rule the world with polypanels!
