#Pumpkinjam 02: Length has been judged to completion; check out the video here!

So I have been informed that today, tomorrow, and Friday are exam days for the students, and as of right now, I am not needed for any assistance. So if I'm not recruited to do something like grade exams, I'll have about 24 hours to edit the Pumpkin Jam vid...
#pumpkinjam
So quick #pumpkinjam update before I pass out for the day:
All entries have been printed and judged; I just have to finish comparing notes to decide on the ranking. Then it's time for recording, and all that comes after it.
I appreciate your patience!
All but one (you know who you are) model from the #Pumpkinjam have their makes/feedback posted to each individual model's page! Check 'em out!
So for the recent #PumpkinJam, I emphasized that making a model that was sturdy was just as important as making one that looked good, and now I'm torn at ranking them since some of them are sturdier but more simple and some of them are more complex designs but not as sturdy
So after the #PumpkinJam, I had an exit survey. The statement participants agreed the least with was "I was able to meet other creators because of the Jam."
What do you think I could do to improve this? I have a Discord that some people used, but some folks don't have that
3 color spiral UV LED strip enclosure within a larger colored non glow organic tubular form inspired by my recent #pumpkinjam entry which i withdrew due to too many design issues, and not wanting the judges to waste material when i had tested and knew some parts needed more work to function.
Ok! Storm is over and filament has been delivered; #pumpkinjam entries are being printed, so hopefully I'll be cranking out their reviews and makes as they are printed!
I'll be uploading them as they're done; I'm printing them in order of convenience.
Ok, so... very me-specific problem, but.... while I've started printing some of the models for the #PumpkinJam, the rest of the filament I ordered is currently stuck at a holding center because it's been storming for the last 3 days and the seas are too rough to ship it LMAO
alright, so I caved and got ordered some more filament from BambuLab to start printing the #pumpkinjam submissions!
Unfortunately this breaks my streak of only getting filament with points, but oh well. I knew what I was doing when I got into this lol
Aaaaand my brain has already spontaneously formed the complete idea for the next Pumpkin Jam's Theme
Def not happening til next year though
#pumpkinjam
Welp um the estimated total filament I will be using to print out all the #pumpkinjam entries is amounting to approximately 3.7kg
I have no regrets!
3D printed Spooky Sword held aloft
Alright, folks! I think that about wraps it up on entries; thank you to the six people that participated! I've posted links to all their designs on my site; please give them all a look! An interest form is also available.

In order to get the Spooky Sword in to the Printables Halloween contest, I uploaded it without real model pics. I'm about to finish out the final piecs of the Sword in a bit, so I'll update it with pics when I'm done! #pumpkinjam

My #pumpkinjam entry is being inspected
Alright, night night folks! I'm actually going to bed, and a nine-hour print will hopefully be waiting for me when I get up! But until then, good luck, Pumpkin Jammers!
#pumpkinjam
Just under 12 hours left in the #pumpkinjam! I'll be heading to bed here soon, but I'll be awake for the final hours.
Make sure you email CarlThePumpkinMan@gmail.com with links to your uploads--I know this was a big one, so even if you're not done, feel free to send your stuff in!
Ok so apparently the two models that take forever to load do so because they have over a million triangles each; I guess it's because it's the T-spline and the object the t-spline fits into. Dunno why it went that crazy.

Bambu Studio loading bar stuck at about 40%
Guys I think I cooked too hard on the model. It's been like this for ten minutes
(Genuinely don't understand what the issue is tho)
#pumpkinjam
Ok I think my computer is having problems both streaming and loading in my STEP file, so stream is done for now! If my computer lets me...
#pumpkinjam
Halloween Themed Sword and sheath
I've finished the model! Time to slice it up, print it, and hope I didn't mess anything up...
Wish me luck!
#pumpkinjam
Fun fact: The Printables Halloween contest ends exactly the same time the Pumpkin Jam does. This was not intentional.
Luckily, I'm making a Halloween-themed model!
#pumpkinjam
Alrighty! The Jam is halfway done! Friendly reminder that you still need to fill out the description when you upload it, so plan accordingly!
Looking forward to your emails in 24 hours!
I'll be live if you wanna ask any questions.

Ok my brain is thoroughly fried; I gotta leave it here for the night!
Feel free to make any suggestions to the design--the shape of the grey thing on the crossguard is still giving me pause.
See y'all tomorrow!
