I don’t know if this is negotiable at this point, but as one of the earliest Bionicle fans to 3D print and distribute custom masks I take some issue with the rules of this contest. The rules state that if a 3D printed piece is to be used by someone “they’ll need to provide a link to the free source for the piece. If one does not exist, the piece may not be used”.
