So I went and stuck my foot in it. I have organized a contest to encourage designers to tweak existing projects and/or design new parts to the new [reprap.org] vertical X axis standard. The contest page is here [reprap.org] . Those wishing to participate must declare their intent by Oct 12. The contest will run to Nov 12 if enough entrants declare by Oct 12. Any and all publicity/blog posts etc. would be appreciated.

Cool, though I think Emmanuel should probably win by default!

Now there are four, someone's going home empty-handed! Well done Bryan for organising the comp, I really do need another set of electronics, even if my entry is designed to make them!

Thanks guys. And I'm hoping for more even than four contestants. Time will tell. I think the more exposure the contest has the better the participation will be, so please feel free to post on your blogs etc. about it. Entries are open till Oct 12. By the way, pictures of the prizes are up on the contest page now. [reprap.org]

Special thanks to Lulzbot for donating a set of pololu drivers to the contest. Since I don't have to buy pololu's I may add to the prizes soon. Stay tuned. smiling bouncing smiley

Prizes have been updated. Stripboard for a ghetto HBP for 2nd and third, and likely a real Prusa HBP board for 1st prize in addition to the current prize packages. Gotta sign up by Oct 12 to be in the running. Contest ends Nov 12.
