Hi folks, I'm a writer for 3dprintingindustry.com and I'm doing a short write-up on the Gada prize. I've been doing a quick look around the forum and am having a hard time with the organization of things. I found a list of all of the teams that have entered the contest, but haven't seen many updates to their pages and designs. Did interest and entries sort of fizzle out after awhile? Or am I just having a hard time finding the serious entrants? Is judging really already taking place? Thanks! https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?171,220403,220403#msg-220403 Fri, 17 Apr 2026 07:43:54 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?171,220403,221883#msg-221883 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?171,220403,221883#msg-221883
I agree. Why not do a Kickstarter and participate in the prize? That's the great thing about it!]]> RealityIncCo Kartik M.

I guess the problem has to be the lack of publicity of the new rules.]]> nicholas.seward Kartik M. Gada Humanitarian Innovation Prize Sun, 23 Jun 2013 11:33:29 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?171,220403,220779#msg-220779 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?171,220403,220779#msg-220779
One nice thing is, joining the contest doesn't prohibit you from offering it on Kickstarter or Indiegogo, so the worth of the prize adds on top of other business opportunities.]]> Traumflug Kartik M.

I think the main reason for the confusion is that the original entry requirements seem unattainable. Here is a link with the old requirements. When there were no entries the requirements were change in such a way that more people could submit and set less specific goals.

I don't understand why there wasn't a flurry of activity when the requirements changed. On some other post in this subforum, it is pointed out that a good design is worth more than $20,000 on Kickstarter. I don't think that fully explains it but it is definitely a contributing factor.

All I know is that when I requested an extension for Simpson, Kartik Gada indicated that extension would be no problem because they had some number less than 50 entries to review.]]> nicholas.seward Kartik M.
