Back from Christmas holiday’s, I found a nice one on Hack-a-Day. A short article on Nudel (nickname, I hope;), who documents a way to print worlds and objects from Minecraft with a 3D printer.

I guess there are more people playing with this now, but this is the first completed and well documented method I found. Be aware that in order to get the color prints, you should probably send your models of to a service like sculpteo or shapeways.

The lack of resolution on the RepRap and other home 3D printers is an edge here though which gives the finalised models a great Minecraft-y look.

This year has really been a year in which 3D printing became more mainstream. The DIY Kits are starting to become affordable and the online community is huge! Here are this years milestones:

Here’s a very nice Mindstorms project. The ingredients are:

    • Mindstorms,
    • a laser pointer,
    • a webcam and the
    • David-3D Software.

The actual cost of the whole setup and the result, a quite detailed 3d scan is the most impressive.
