Challenge

\r\nEver looked at your pet and thought, \"You deserve something awesome\"? Well, now\u2019s your chance to fix that! Design a tech-powered gadget for your furry (or non-furry) friend using Arduino and 3D printing. Think automated playmates, high-tech trackers, smart aquariums, or remote-controlled feeders. Whether it\u2019s a self-fetching ball launcher, a next-level scratching post, or a fish tank that runs itself\u2014you know what your pet needs.\r\n
\r\n
\r\nNever used Arduino before? No worries! Arduino is a small, programmable board that can control lights, motors, or sensors, and it\u2019s the perfect way to add some tech magic to your project.\r\n

\r\n

Calling all the DJ makers! Did you know that Josef Prusa himself got into 3D printing because of DJing? Back in 2009, he needed custom accessories for his DJ gear, so he tried 3D printing\u2014and the rest is history.

\r\n\r\n

Now, we\u2019re bringing things full circle with a special design contest for DJs!

\r\n\r\n

Hercules and Printables are teaming up, and we want to see your most inventive solutions for mixing on the go. Whether you're a pro or just starting out, this is your chance to win a brand new Original Prusa MK4S Kit, incredible Hercules gear, and a bunch of Prusameters! \ud83c\udfa7

\r\n

The Challenge

\r\n

Design something that makes DJing on the go smoother than ever. Think portable, practical, and a touch of pizzazz. Maybe it\u2019s a clever way to carry your gear, a compact setup station, or an accessory that streamlines the mixing process. Bonus points for designs tailored to the DJControl Mix, but universal solutions are totally welcome too. Just keep it functional, stylish, and compatible.

\r\n

No Controller? No Problem!

\r\n

Don\u2019t own a Hercules controller yet? No worries\u2014Hercules has your back with all the dimensions, drawings, and files you need to get started. Use them to craft a design that\u2019s functional and stylish.
