Equipment Naming Contest
We held our first ever equipment naming contest this semester. Over 20 names were suggested for each equipment. We had 37 votes tallied. We used rank-choice voting to determine the winners using this handy RankedVote Chrome Extension. So, without further ado, here are the winning names of our equipment!
Bernina 350 Sewing Machine #1
Lilo wins with 14 votes. Sewsan comes in second with 10 votes.
Bernina 350 Sewing Machine #2
Stitch wins with 16 votes. Thread Lasso comes in second with 8 votes. There was a glitch in the software on this election. But Stitch was the clear winner, even without ranked-choice voting.
Juki Serger
Sergent Pepper wins a tie breaker with Judge Juki, each had 8 votes.
Silhouette Cameo 4
Sir Slice-a-lot wins with 18 votes. The highest number of votes for a name of any equipment. Fozzie comes in second with 7 votes.
Prusa MK3S+ 3D printer #1
Phil A. Ment wins with 15 votes. Printy McPrintFace comes in second with 6 votes.
Prusa MK3S+ 3D printer #2
Printsipal Skinner squeaks out a win with 9 votes. The Other Big One ™ fortunately loses with a close 8 votes.
Prusa Mini
The Maker Formerly Known As Prints wins with 7 votes. We’ll just call it “Prints” or ℘. Cupid comes in second with 4 votes.
Prusa MK3S+ w/ MMU3
Kermit wins with 13 votes. Chewbacca comes in second with 8 votes. Which gets me thinking, next time we name the equipment, we’ll go with a theme and name them all ourselves. StarWars, Muppets, and Avatar: The Last Airbender all made appearances.
Universal Systems Laser cutter
Vader wins with 9 votes. Major Lazer comes in second with 8 votes. Both cool names…
Othermill Desktop CNC
Whittle Prince wins with 9 votes. Jill the Drill Mill comes in second with 8 votes.
Formlabs Form 2 Resin Printer
The Fresh Prints of Bel Air wins with 14 votes. We’ll probably shorten that to just Fresh Prints. Artemis comes in distant second with 5 votes.
