3D Printed Minecraft Worlds

[JMK]

These are beautiful. Not a big minecraft fan but I know those that are. Do you know if they are selling these at all? I know some people that would probably pay $1,000 for these.

Well, all they have to do is export their own models using the free Mineways program (full disclosure: I wrote it, for fun) and upload these to Shapeways - they can then order their own works. Really, though, smaller is cheaper is cuter (e.g. this $9 model) - the large models are kind of amazing, but from top to bottom, Steam Castle runs $250, Spawn $633, and Sentinel Castle $165, assuming Shapeways would print them at all (they've gotten pickier over the years - the sandstone material is a bit brittle and Minecraft trees tend to snap off). However, Shapeways now does offer a "print it anyway" option.

See the bottom of the Mineways Gallery page (which I need to update with these models) for the Shapeways and Sculpteo store sites.
