It was only this past January that we reached the incredible milestone of 10,000 3D printers connected on our platform. Just 6 months later, our Community has doubled and we are now 20,000 printers strong! It’s hard for me to imagine that in the last 6 months more 3D printers have joined than the entire two years before. This is an amazing achievement and would not be possible without you: the community.

To celebrate this awesome achievement we would like to call on all Hubs to show the world who you are! The idea is simple; post a picture of yourself + your printer on social media, using #WeAre20k.

Of course, we will have some cool giveaways to go with this celebration! Each day, for the next 20 days, we’ll feature a Hub photo on the 3dhubs.com homepage linking to your Hub Profile page! We will also send a 3D Hubs Hoodie to each featured Hub. All other submissions will be shared and promoted through our social media channels as well :slight_smile:

Finally, the top 3 most original photos will also be rewarded with $500, $250 and $100 in credit that can be spent with a Hub Perk partner of your choice.

Few guidelines for submitting images:

  • Use a landscape format and at least 1600 pixels wide
  • Show at least one person + one 3D printer
  • Bonus points: feature Marvin and/or a cupcake! :slight_smile:

We want to thank everyone for making 3D Hubs such a fun and fast growing community and we can’t wait to share your Hub shots with the world!

It’s been an amazing ride from just 10 Hubs in Amsterdam about 2 years ago to 20.000 today, can’t believe how fast it has gone. Thanks everyone for believing in this idea of distributed manufacturing and for helping us bring this global community together!

Looking forward to featuring amazing pictures of your Hubs on the front page the coming weeks!

Hi Guys,

So pleased to be part of this amazing platform for 3D printing. I think you were only at 5,000 printers when I joined less than a year ago. Amazing growth, especially the last 6 months.

Congratulations on this achievement and being one of the real success stories of this amazing technology!
