The first-ever AnycubicMaker Challenge has officially come to a close, and what an incredible journey it has been! From April 1 to April 30, 2025, makers, dreamers, and innovators from around the world shared their most imaginative 3D printing projects, proving once again that creativity knows no bounds.
This challenge was more than just a contest—it was a celebration of the "What if?" moments that drive innovation. From seasoned makers to first-time dreamers, the challenge showcased just how far 3D printing can take an idea.
Today, we’re excited to spotlight the standout winners. But before we dive in, here’s a quick look at what made this challenge so inspiring.
A Challenge That Inspired Everyone🌟
The AnycubicMaker Challenge invited creators to:
● Share dream projects they would make if they had a Kobra S1 Combo or a Photon Mono M7 Pro.
● Showcase their best 3D prints, whether functional, artistic, or totally out of this world.
The response was overwhelming. Some entries solved real-world problems, others pushed artistic boundaries, and a few were simply "why didn’t I think of that?" genius. Now, let’s meet the printer winners who have turned or will turn their "What if?" into "Look what I made!".

Anis Suliman’s submission stood out as a perfect example of how 3D printing can empower creativity, solve real-world challenges, and push the limits of even "small" machines. Here’s why it impressed us:
✅ Problem-Solving Impact – By offering affordable 3D printing services for architecture students, Anis turned a personal need into a community solution, proving that innovation starts with helping others.
✅ Technical Mastery – Printing large-scale architectural models (split into smaller parts) on a Kobra 2 Pro demonstrated smart workflow planning and trust in Anycubic’s reliability—even under tight deadlines.
✅ Humble Heroism – The post’s candid tone (sleepless nights, cramped apartments) highlighted the dedication behind great prints, reminding us that passion matters more than fancy tools.
James Tribble's entry is a tour de force of 3D printing, deserving of the grand prize. His figure is a masterpiece of imagination and craftsmanship, combining captivating design with intricate detail. The bold yet detailed wings, each feather distinct yet forming an elegant structure, showcase the precision of Anycubic printers. The figure is full of mystery and power, telling a story that engages viewers, making it more than just a print. Technically, the use of color and texture is masterful, demonstrating a deep understanding of material science. This entry not only displays exceptional skill but also inspires the 3D printing community to push their boundaries and create with vision.

This heartwarming submission by warfare21gaming perfectly embodies the spirit of #AnycubicMaker—using 3D printing to make a real difference in people’s lives. Here’s why it stood out:
✅ Social Impact – Turning spare printers and filament into durable, joyful toys for underprivileged kids shows how technology can address real community needs.
✅ Innovative Optimization – The creator’s focus on speed, strength (even at 5% infill!), and washable paint finishes proves thoughtful engineering behind simple designs.
✅ Human Touch – The teamwork with his wife (painting, sealing) adds a layer of care and craftsmanship, while the humor about winning a multi-color Kobra S1 Combo to "give her a break" keeps it relatable.
✅ Inspiring Call-to-Action – Encouraging others to use their printers for good.
A reminder that the best prints aren’t just objects—they’re hope, delivered layer by layer. 🏆
This visionary submission of Legal_Buyer8127 perfectly merges scientific curiosity with sustainable innovation—exactly what #AnycubicMaker celebrates! Here’s why it shines:
✅ Eco-Conscious Creativity – Proposing seed-embedded, biodegradable resin prints that benefit ecosystems when broken/discarded transforms 3D printing into a tool for environmental restoration.
✅ Academic Rigor Meets Maker Spirit – The creator’s biology research on plastics’ impact (with data!) lends credibility, while her playful "anime girl prints" joke keeps it engaging.
✅ Future-Focused – Her ambition to test plant-based resins and bioactive prints with the Photon Mono M7 Pro could pioneer sustainable maker practices.
✅ Inspiration Multiplier – This idea doesn’t just solve a problem—it redefines waste, urging others to ask: "Can my prints heal the planet?"
A brilliant reminder that the best prints aren’t just objects—they’re legacies. 🌱♻️
