Contest Entry: Wrapped in Color

ColorWave is a cheerful, modular toy boat designed especially for children, celebrating the creative power of multicolor 3D printing.

This project explores how color separation can enhance both aesthetics and assembly logic. Each structural element of the boat is divided into printable color zones, making it ideal for multi-material or multi-color printing systems.

 

The model embraces the “Wrapped in Color” theme by:

  • Using color as a structural design element
  • Separating parts to highlight contrast and layering
  • Creating visually engaging surfaces through color blocking

Easy Assembly

The boat is composed of interlocking parts designed for:

  • Child-safe rounded edges
  • Intuitive part orientation

The modular structure allows:

  • Custom color combinations
  • Easy reprinting of individual parts
  • Creative personalization

3D Printing Friendly

  • Optimized for FDM printing
  • Minimal supports required
  • Thick walls for durability
  • Smooth surfaces for clean color transitions
  • Designed for multi-color printers or manual filament swapping

Designed for Kids

  • Soft proportions
  • No sharp details
  • Stable flat bottom
  • Durable structure

ColorWave is not just a toy — it is a celebration of how multicolor 3D printing can transform a simple object into a vibrant, customizable experience for children.
