Filtering the flash challenge prints shouldn’t be too hard to implement as Prusa is already doing that themselves on the main site.

Next to the filtering options that are available for us an ‘exclude challenge prints’ could be implemented. Being able to make it default would be even better.

the question arises spontaneously: who are you to judge that a drawing that participates in a competition should be filtered by default?

what would you think if someone here asked prusaprinters to filter your drawings because they suck?

Isn’t that what a search engine is for though? To find wat you personally  want and exclude other stuff? 

The reason I present this as a solution is because others in this topic have commented on how flash challenges tend to flood the front page results with lower quality prints and pushing other new prints down.

I can imagine that someone not interested in buttons wants to filter out the button challenge. If that person is interested in pens they should be able to include flash challenges to their results again.

I personally don’t have a problem with this but there certainly is something to be said for being able to customise your browsing experience on this site.

a drawing that participates in a competition should be filtered by default?

A high quality design is tested, refined, retested, re-refined and honed to a degree that is not possible in the space of a typical competition. It can take a year or more to check the durability of a structure, half a dozen testers to check the function, numerous iterations to optimise the printability ... and then as long again to write, test and refine the build and use instructions.

Even decorative figurines and toys need test printing and optimisation beyond that possible in the period of a Flash challenge.

The majority of those buttons are untested and a great many are unuseable.  It is obvious that most of the designers have never sewn a button in their lives and I question whether some of them can even button their own clothes.  OK, they probably aren't actually dangerous except in the pants-around-the-ankles sense but I can forsee situations where similar, hasty, 'practical' competition entries might even be a danger to life.

The winners of these competitions, I hope, will mostly be people who just happen to have been working for some time on a print suitable for entry so perhaps a better version of @pjotrstrog's filter would be:

‘exclude challenge prints but allow the winners’

And no entries that have not been printed should ever be contemplated; now, competition shortlists are presumably printed by the judges to evaluate whether they are, by chance, printable, but otherwise drawings by and large, suck.

Ah, an instant classic!

The majority of those buttons are untested and a great many are unuseable.

I should point out that I printed several of the winners and runner-ups of previous non-flash contests, and many I'd put in that same category. There have been some great designs from those contests, such as the bag clips, but even there it took the (super-responsive) creator a few design iterations past the end of the competition to optimize it. And others were just...bad.

not only those but also the designs with which Prusameters are obtained.

Why do you want to waste filament on printing gamification icons?

Cheerio,

I have to admit; that has a certain strange logic.

I have to admit, I've never seen a Benchie in real life 'though thousands in pictures.  I'll print one, I promise, just as soon as I can think of a use for it.

Well, we need to 3D print you a cookie for that! 😀

Cheerio,

I didn't print the Benchy on my Prusa printer until several months after I got it, and when I did the first one it was because somebody else had an issue with printing one on the Prusa with the exact same filament I was using, so I printed one as a sanity check to see if the quirks were the same with mine.  They were.

It's a good real-world proof of performance test for a printer.

@matt-boyer - very nice design work.  Now please hide that where no-one can ever get at it.  We really don't want an endless flood of morons uploading prints of their badges in order to win more badges so they can then upload even more prints of even more useless garbage badges in order to meet utterly stupid gamification targets.

Cheerio,

Not sure why the admins are OK with the brigading going on here, but if someone is posting in accordance with the rules, you don't have to like it. I never thought the parents portrayed in Flashdance would be the easygoing ones later in life.

Don't worry, I'm not publishing it.  How do you think it's helping me to win more badges though?

The topic of this thread is BADGES.  So if people want to flood it with pictures of their badges, oh well.

Thank you.

I don't think you are likely to try and abuse the system but there are others posting makes of practically anything for the points.

Any idea where can find badges to print ? On blog "And to add a bit more fun into the mix, there are some hidden unlockables – such as the possibility to get a downloadable 3D model of your badge. How to get it? You’ll need to figure it out yourself, we are not going to spoil the surprise." ?
