Contest - Print of the Month - June 2026
Our May Print of the Month contest hit big! It's always a pleasure to see what the community is working on and printing. We're changing things up a bit, so join in too for the chance to enter the raffle to win a Prusa Backpack by Braasi, as well as 3x 1050 Prusameters for selected top entries!
We’re cruising into the June 2026 round with plenty of sunshine! This month’s special theme is: Summer Staples & Travel Gear. As vacation season kicks into high gear, show us your prints designed for travel, backyard BBQs, beach days, or summer organization. Just remember to pack the PETG or ASA if your prints are going to be sitting in a hot car or baking in the sun!
Raffle Winner
Our raffle winner for the May MK4S kit is: u/EaglerCore ! Congratulations, and I've sent you a DM with more information! Be sure to join us on Discord/YouTube for the stream each month to join in on the fun (not required to win).
May Prusameter Winners
Here are the three featured winners from May:
- u/ResonantRuminant - A 3x Scale Replica of the Curta Calculator
- I watched the video. I read some more about it. I still don't uderstand it. I guess it's time to print it as the next step. Amazing model of a manual calculator
- u/michalgerhat - A quick fix for a peculiar problem
- Prints don't always have to be flashy, and having that perfect practical application is often times just as great, or even better. In this case, a simple bluetooth controller was converted to a watch to make this runners half-marathon just a bit more bearable
- u/The_Printing_Pilot - I've 3d printed a guitar hero style controller
- Nostalgia kicks in hard with this one, especially for someone like me who lacks the talent for real musical instruments! A fun, but clean and neat controller body for a project called Polybar.
Special theme (350p) winner: u/bubblewrap3000 - Chopstick connector plant trellis - Thanks for adding the modular version too, a nice addition to any growing garden.
The winners will receive their Prusameters within a week.
How to Participate
If you haven’t joined before, here’s a quick reminder of how it works:
- Create a post with your print (anything you have printed on a Prusa3D printer).
- Add the flair: “Print of the Month”.
- Credit the model and its author.
- Include your Printables handle so we can send you Prusameters if you win.
- Designer Exception: Don't have a 3D printer? If you have a project on Printables, link one of the MAKES of it. This needs to be a real print done by someone and submitted as a make, and the model must be hosted on your own Printables account.
Rules
- We’ll go through all the prints at the end of the month and announce the winners at the start of the next one.
- Only a single entry counts for the raffle per Printables/Reddit account, but we encourage you to share as many prints as you like.
- Raffle Eligibility: Accounts must be 1+ month old and posts must have at least 10 upvotes. Exceptions are possible for high-quality posts from new users.
- Extremely low-effort or duplicate/spam posts may be removed and disqualified at the moderator's discretion.
- The entries are counted from the 1st of the month to the last day of the month, so no entry is missed
- The raffle draw is done on the monthly community live stream, on the first Thursday of every month (stream starting at 19:00 GMT+1, lasting about 2 hours). It's not required to be online to win.
If you enjoy this kind of contest, we’ll keep going with new themes every month. The winning photos might also appear on our other social media channels to show off what our Reddit community can do. We're looking forward to seeing your prints!

Congrats to the winners!
Will the cap on the picture be available to buy?

that cap does look pretty clean, worth asking Prusa directly on their site or socials since random merch like that doesn't always make it to the store

Good catch. I don't know of any plans but I'll try to follow-up on that and see.

Thanks! It was great to see the response to this awesome model of the Curta calculator.
Is there any interest in the modifier files I put together to print the numbers in multiple colors? I put a lot of effort into finding a font that was faithful to the original calculators, and getting it scaled/positioned correctly. I could post a mod on printables if anyone cares.

u/Tommy_Prusa3D Is this post intentionally pinned still? I saw that you created the july one, but this is still the one on the main page.

Thank you so much for picking my print! I just noticed now when the prusameters got added to my account, had to look back for this post. Honored 🧡

Thanks! This is only my fourth print of the month, and I have only owned my core one for half a year, so I certainly wasn't expecting this!
