I am contemplating running a monthly Open Rocket Design and 3d Design contest. It may be just for bragging rights or an annual prize. Is there any interest?

Upgrade NowSincere question: has there ever been a monthly contest that has made it past a month or two before lack of interest kills it?I am contemplating running a monthly Open Rocket Design and 3d Design contest. It may be just for bragging rights or an annual prize. Is there any interest?
I agreeMy suggestion is just do one, see how it goes, and then adjust as needed.
Thanks. I will do one without a prize and see what happens. I may have a vendor sponsor if we do it longer.My suggestion is just do one, see how it goes, and then adjust as needed.

You are correct. I liked watching the threads.I'm in.
Chuck, if you recall, we did try to do this a few years back. there was some interest, but was mainly from a select few. (and even that slowly dwindled..)
Well it’s good to hear that you like your job!I liked watching the threads.
Not sure I would call it a job. Job to me entails monetary compensation.Well it’s good to hear that you like your job!
Ok your volunteer work thenNot sure I would call it a job. Job to me entails monetary compensation.
For rockets: the need to design, source parts, then build said design can be time sensitive,
Hi Rschub,I think I have around 15 folders on my computer with mostly finished designs, I have 1 that is ready to fly right now that I have been working on since December 2022.
I'll just have to get someone else to build them.
Solidworks, they have a Maker edition that costs $99 a year. I used Solidworks every day for 10 years in a previous job so I am very familiar with it.Hi Rschub,
I was just curious what software you use to design your rockets?
Regards
I see, what would you recommend for someone who is not familiar with CAD software?Solidworks, they have a Maker edition that costs $99 a year. I used Solidworks every day for 10 years in a previous job so I am very familiar with it.
Yeah, I'd be interested...I am contemplating running a monthly Open Rocket Design and 3d Design contest. It may be just for bragging rights or an annual prize. Is there any interest?
