# Bambu Lab launches CMF by Nothing Phone 1 design contest on MakerWorld

[Bambu Lab, a leading Chinese desktop 3D printing company](https://www.voxelmatters.directory/company/bambu-lab/), and CMF by Nothing have launched the CMF by Nothing Phone 1 design contest. This open invitation to 3D designers, creators, and enthusiasts offers the opportunity to showcase talent and innovation, with participants standing a chance to win a CMF by Nothing Phone 1 and [a Bambu Lab A1 Mini Combo 3D printer](https://www.voxelmatters.com/best-desktop-3d-printer-of-2023-bambu-labs-p1s/). With its modular design and the power of 3D printing, the contest inspires participants to [personalize their phones in unique and imaginative ways](https://www.youtube.com/shorts/kInKF5ipzd4).

## CMF by Nothing Phone 1

The CMF by Nothing Phone 1 is designed using replaceable back covers, accessories, and standard screw types. This design makes it possible to add new functionality through attachable accessories or custom-designed back covers. The Nothing Community team has shared a STEP file, [which can be found here](https://makerworld.com/en/contests/38?name=CMF+by+Nothing+Phone+1/MakerWorld#tab-Entries), of the phone’s rear case and its dimensions.

"Community is at the core of Nothing's operations and long-term vision. We are constantly seeking to co-create with our members, so it felt natural to open up the CMF Phone 1 platform to the creative community on MakerWorld too. We are already seeing some inspiring and unexpected designs and I can't wait to discover some of the talented 3D designers throughout the process," said Akis Evangelidis, Co-founder of Nothing.

## MakerWorld

With 1-click printing straight from the Bambu Handy App, MakerWorld simplifies the 3D printing process. When contest participants share their designs on MakerWorld, anyone can download the ready-to-print 3D models - meaning that even if you don’t have design skills, you can still personalize your phone case.

"The contest with CMF by Nothing is a significant step toward our vision of empowering anyone to create and personalize their own products. We believe that the adoption of modular and circular product designs is central to this revolution, and Nothing is exactly the type of pioneering, forward-thinking company we want to work with," said Dr. Tao, Co-founder and CEO of Bambu Lab.
