It’s here: you can print from Minecraft.
Some enterprising students over that the MIT Media Lab have pioneered a process that will tickle the fancy of nerds the world over: 3d printing objects created in Minecraft.
We’re awfully excited about seeing what will come out of this (I don’t see their python code as of yet, but maybe I’m just slow…) so we’ll be watching closely. Thanks to the eagle-eyed Adam Cecchetti for the tip.

I just want to saw AWESOME!!!!! Coming from modeling minecraft models to print. To making models in minecraft to print. I need to get a powder printer now because I don’t think the makerbot can handle some of the extreme overhangs some of our server designs have.

Neat idea…but why is there no way to download the scripts??

Just a thought: you guys could go more wide scale with this idea by hosting some sort of community file sharing and print the most exceptional models for showcasing purposes. It would help generate buzz for this process, too.
If yall are already doing this and I failed to realize it I blame my hangover.
