Mineways

Software and service that can take a part of your Minecraft world and make a physical version in colour with 3D printing.

From Gamesbeat:

The open source Mineways program, by Eric Haines, allows you to pick a chunk of your Minecraft world and export it in a format suitable for sending directly to a 3D printer. You can also choose to edit the model using 3D modelling software, such as Blender, prior to printing.

Haines has created a video that takes you through the process of capturing your Minecraft creation and uploading it to Shapeways, a service which will print out your model and ship it to you.

There are plenty of tips to get the best from the software on Haines’ dedicated Mineways page. He also gives you an idea of how much models might cost to print and how best to minimize your financial outlay.

More information about the project can be found here
