Converting Your Minecraft Creation Into An STL

Thingiverse citizen paulharter has posted instructions for converting your build on his Minecraft server  into an .stl file.

Log in to Minecraft and go to 46.38.166.50

Build with sand inside the building

Add a signpost with your email

Press PRINT and you will be sent a .stl file of your model

Paul’s using OpenSCAD for the conversion, and he provides this one caution in the comments so far: creating a model with blocks that only touch diagonally point-to-point confuse the system, so be sure to have a connection with an edge. If you want a rundown on using OpenSCAD, click the link above. Our Education Team has put together all sorts of good information on various modeling software.

    shame the build base isn’t any bigger and do You have plans on releasing the plugin to the minecraft community.
