Minecraft.Print() - Printing Minecraft Creations via 3D Printer

[Maggotsicgod]

i dont see the point of this considering that printer would cost like more than 5 houses and think of the cost of the ink on that bitch..

[Mustafacc0]

@Maggotsicgod Ink?

[MonkintoMaster]

@Maggotsicgod No a reprap costs about 500 euros to buy the parts and assemble yourself and it uses pastic as "ink" go to reprap.org/

[84MarieClaire]

cool!!!

[NixodCreations]

why do some of them have a black coating on them? is it from the printer?

[codysumter]

@NixodCreations Yes, it's a filler material that the printer we have uses to stabilize the print (think scaffolding). It does come off. We just hadn't done so at the time of the video.

[hazel2K9]

hey guys if i wer to ask u to make a cube of dirt how much would that cost and how big could it be i was thinking like 5x5 inches ?

[MarcWithACccc]

I got here from Professor Oak. ;)

[thenewnoob123]

So could this script be used to create a 3D model out of any Minecraft creation, and load it up in any program that can handle 3D objects?

[Pr0ph3cyTech]

Can you print models of Minecraft characters in colour? Be AWESOME if you could!

[codysumter]

@Pr0ph3cyTech Actually, yes. That has been done.

[MrErichaines]

@Pr0ph3cyTech Just to chime in with Cody, you might want to check out mineways.com. I finished this program last week, it exports to color (it's fully textured, in fact).

[MrJonese1234]

how are you?

im fine, and my youtube acount is going amasing.

i upload good minecraft,call of duty content so if you like that type then feel free to subscribe.

if you have any tips send me a mesage.

[antaloliver]

Did anyone notice the TARDIS somewhere around 0:10 ?

[jacilony]

The cubes look like candies...

[Jagermaster13]

This was very cool to watch, especially since I did most of the exterior of that enterprise build.  ;) Nice work.

[ElAnonimom]

print mah bolls

[xqspx]

I adore clever people

[julianzrulez]

>>> minecraft = "Hello Creeper"

>>> print minecraft

>>> 'Hello Creeper'

[beckondorf1]

Pixel art anyone?

[derkleinekifer]

:D i will rebuild my room just with minecraft objects ^^ it will be a bit expensive, but thats ok, its for minecraft ;)

[Mopsi3D]

what cost a 3D Printer?

[MrPilg0r]

@Mopsi3D research maker-bots, they're pretty cheap

[HaloHamstur]

We have one of these at my school.. only one as far as i know

[Insane819]

which websites?

[ProfessorPwnageFTW]

thats fucking crazy

[CShep99]

the minecraft enterprise was a 1:1 scale model WITH ALL THE ROOMS INSIDE! i could see all the tiny block edges on the finished companion cube model, so that printer is crazy accurate! that enterprise model may have all the rooms in it too!

[Lordofdragons16]

A portal for Minecraft to get into the real world? Yea, nothing bad will come from that.

Guy behind you: That'ssssss a very good point you have there...

[SoftAngFX]

Great idea!

[TheGyroid]

doctor who



[DarksporkLeader]

Is the part of the video at 1:58 in real time? If so, what kind of processor does that machine have and does it need to read EVERY region file? I've been trying to implement a .mcr library in Ruby 1.9 and it's taking about 2-3 minutes to read each 1024 chunk region file - having to Deflate each chunk seems to be what's eating most of my time.

This is awesome, BTW.

[jakematt247]

Cool

[TR1GG3RSERIOUS]

are you guys going to make the files open to the public? I really want a companion cube but I'm not sure how to get the file for it so I can send it to company that will print it.

[codysumter]

@TR1GG3RSERIOUS The code has been up for a while (on github), but I went ahead and linked it from the site, today. I will make a general warning: the current version that is up is not the most efficient that we have nor the most user friendly (you have to be able to set up a dependency and run the script from the terminal), but it's been quite stable in tests.

[Tait011]

The vent on the printer thingie reminds me of the Aperture Science logo.

[CoDhAcKeRs1]

1 to 1 scale guys i think we are going to need a bigger printer

[BJBlaskowits]

can it do colour

[chrisredfiud]

Does anyone know where to find one of those sites where they mail you your creation?

[Littlefighter1911]

Ubuntu :D

[JaydeesApple]

Hey, Cody! Your creation is featured in The New Scientist 30th July UK. Awesome ~jaydeesapple

[codysumter]

@JaydeesApple Awesome! Now I just need to figure out where to get a copy of the UK edition in the US... The online version only has the first 3 paragraphs.

[zombiemom42]

Can u just send me one of those blocks

[BrandonDGr8]

oh...my...god...

[xxyblocxx]

Where can i get that enterprise map!

[HulloMiguel]

You totally made my day when you hummed Katamari Damacy. :)

[EvilGiygas]

That's insane!

[matthias18aTds]

@codysumter DAMIT I CANT USE IT THEN IT IS ACATLY THE BLOCKS I USED IN MY BUILDING :(

[Lito290]

MAKE A PIKACHU!!!

[ender4978]

So, the idea now is to program a 3d printer inside of minecraft, to print your minecraft objects in minecraft. We hear you like minecraft, so we're gonna put a printer in your minecraft so you can print minecraft while you print on your printer in minecraft.

[WarHeadNuke]

Awesome stuff.

[lil8o4]

Dear Santa...

[JohnnyAwesome911]

print a creeper! i dare you!

[Navenadroj]

It's a whole new level of porn,

[THEBARTMANOPS]

SO COOL YET SO NERDY! MOSTLY COOL THO!!!

[nitoro81]

Make a tool to automatically 3D print real life object INTO minecraft.

[tonipeerwout]

@nitoro81

It's called Kinect...

[CainNZ]

These guys should join forces with the guys at the University of Exeter who have developed a 3D chocolate printer. Then you could EAT your minecraft creations!

[Pengasius14]

How the fuck did the Humanity arrived to do this kind of stuff...

[tiger5125]

where can i get a 3d printer at?

[B1ackMagix]

Very interesting idea and concept. I can definitely see a market for this but this still leaves a few questions.

1) How do you print empty space between objects?

2) Would the python script also record color in the objects so that if I send my creation to a printing company for duplication, they could forward it to a painting company to paint it?

[TheTapeandscissors]

@B1ackMagix

1) How do you print empty space between objects?

They just put filler

[GenericAmerican1]

If I make minecraft in minecraft...will it make me minecraft?

Or a girlfriend?

[101blender]

@GenericAmerican1 Dream on...

[pcricket10]

UBUNTU!!!

[mrmeowmix2300]

Is there a way to adjust the scale of the printed object? Because you made a huge companion cube and only got a tiny one printed lol.

[codysumter]

@mrmeowmix2300 The scale is determined when you go to print it. If you pay attention at the end, you will see that there are actually 2 companion cubes of different sizes. The max size of a print is determined by your printer.

[warpedwiselegoman]

i never knew the Minecraft world would be so.....tiny

[MrDuckBringer]

Must Get 3D printer...

[tiger5125]

@MrDuckBringer i agree i think ill get one for christmas if im good >:3

[SandraFowler]

This made me so fucking happy I think I drooled a little.

[TARINunit9]

Only a matter of time until someone prinst out Yahtzee's golden cock and balls

[codysumter]

@The94miner At first we will just be releasing the code for others to use. If there is enough interest, we might also put together a web app/service.

[T20N]

Song name at 3:09 please?

[i4g0tsMyNAmE]

And with this latest technological advancement 'Weird Science' will someday no longer be just a movie, but real life. It's all in the name of science.

[Pokelucelop]

woah....the possibilities are endless!

[71Ricsi17]

ezt már a haverom megépítette egyedül :P

[59muRL]

HOLY FUCK THATS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[FearlessThoughts]

Oh shit. Materialization/Dematerializat­ion. Its code lyoko all over again.

[TencoTv]

lol.. a gigant penis xD..

ok.. maby i could print my world.. its a glacier world.. with some coooool things xD

[Jaxkr1]

Will you release the script? I REALLY want it, I might even pay for it...n

[codysumter]

@Jaxkr1 We will be releasing it within the next few weeks. Just have a few things we need to take care of first.

[CordyBear1]

I spy a TARDIS in the opening! :D

[heyandy889]

Holy shit. Fuckin' amazing, guys!

[Muggizz]

um. Fake?

[PwngeTrooper]

@Muggizz No it really isn't.

[Muggizz]

@PwngeTrooper looks really fake, how do you know it's not?

[PwngeTrooper]

@Muggizz Because we have 3-D printers that allow people to do things like things. You also have to remember this is an MIT project. They are incredibly good with computers. Also, they just need to program their computer to analyze these block combination. The Python uses a certain script to make things.

[kong288]

Because it's not. If you ever went to high school (Not saying your didn't), almost all of them has a 3d printer. Python is a programming language that they used which is 100% capable of doing what they did.

Small chance that it's fake, but big chance it's real :)

[OMGanimator93]

@kong288 our povo high-school didn't have a 3d printer lol

[yazpanda]

@Muggizz Go on their website.. it has pictures of what the program actually creates for the 3D printer to then print off. Click on them to see them bigger too :)

[xSolidCake]

Holy----- SHIT

[Kacper2be]

1:12

Hello Sheepee

lol

[Robloxain1a42]

I want to see somebody make a house, with rooms inside and such, then use this to make it in real life. Either that, or a Creeper.

Also, Katamari at 1:21. :D (Vocals, not the Minecraft Music sped up)

[HypotheticalMuffins]

This makes me feel extremely honored to know a tad of Python.

[logan8tor12]

God damn.

[hitlershak]

linux ftw !

[FOXCINEMAPLACE]

amazing :)

[mrnewrooster]

got me a site that does 3d prints already when u releasing a program for something like this

[Alexander9211]

Holy....

[MasamuneXero]

@NakedCreep HSSSSSSSSSSSS

[MasamuneXero]

@NakedCreep I'd write an elseif script to tell you off, but honestly I forgot everything.

[TheClerked]

Print out a creeper, place a small firework or other explosive object in it, and let a friend mess around with it for a bit. Commence lolz.

[Thegamefroob]

Can I have a companion cube :D?

[Ozblu3y]

umm...

WOW

[The18Evil]

So, I can turn a virtual object made of pixels into a REAL object?

.....

O_O. You just blew my mind.

[REA00002]

why does MIT get to do all the fun things?

[aznkriss133]

MIT looks so great, hopefully go there or caltech for grad school

[ROTSTarge]

I think my high school had the same model 3D printer, interesting...

I'm gonna miss that place.

[MasamuneXero]

I fucking TOLD my coding friend that Python wasn't useless!!!

[lopsideful]

Cool but will it blend?

[Devilmaycryxx3]

where'd those sheeps go? =[

[TheZombiePimps]

But could it print...THIS?

YouTube ID: ldiISyKkGl8

Yo dawg etc.

[squeehunter]

LOL THE CAKE IS A LIE YALL

[Akriloth2160]

@squeehunter

Aaaaaaaaaand that meme is deader than crystal pepsi. And anyway, Portal 2 didn't use it.

[DNAz5646]

@Akriloth2160

How about

Fucking Science..HOW DOES IT WORK?????

[Akriloth2160]

@DNAz5646

That's better.

[DreddDwarf]

Minecraft fanbois, so easily impressed.

[flawns]

dam you can print out dildos with that thing

[hardestband]

"Just a simple python script..." Which one? Monty python and the holy grail or life of brian?

[Ratznium]

This makes me want a 3D printer more and more. I would print all kinds of goofy things like this.

[Nadawieb21]

This is a F*cking hallucination !! O_o

[lobby417]

Aperture Science 3D Printer (2:33, Look at the fan shape)

[catsnamesqueak]

Informative and hilarious.

[jinmunsuen]

Wow...

[Deeleyisamazing]

Waitwaitwait, does this mean I can finally download a car?

[MEGAF4IL]

Does it Cost anything to get it Printed?

[kattooMC]

Guys, check my profile and print Deathwing... It is going to look absolutely awesome. I can provide a suitable file if you want :)

[woutersparre]

WHY DOES IT LOOKS LIKE I CAN EAT IT?!

[MrSGreatorex]

anyone else want a companion cube...

[VitaEdoSA]

lol this is fake

[quechus13]

@VitaEdoSA nope.

[yunnyman]

Father: What do you want for Christmas son?

Son: A printer!

[blackmanfu]

Can you recommend some good websites that allow you to upload your 3D designs and they'll mail you a printed model?

[KP1042]

He's using the Gordon Freeman skin :D

Appropriate, since he graduated from MIT!

[HarukuProductions]

If the printer could use gold, I would pay anything for a gold companion cube ._.

[Psp4804]

0:11 told me to build a TARDIS.

[PoisonPod]

@Psp4804 0:11 MADE me build a TARDIS! ;)

[yazpanda]

@PoisonPod US* ;)

[kamehamerra25]

How much a 3D Printer costs?

[xTristen]

@kamehamerra25 probably ALOT

[GiantPugTV]

@kamehamerra25 Around 1,500 USD to 14,000 USD Depending on brand and type.

[kamehamerra25]

@GiantPugTV HOLY CRAP

[kitsuneflame]

lol thumbs up for his katamari theme singin

[dingumfCallofDuty]

The star trek thing doesn't look close...

I'm guessing the details are just too small to print.

[TheTony2313]

oh das cool

[Limehunter7]

1:23 Katamari Damacy!

[WDairsofters]

can u print a 1:1 scale model of the enterprise ...... that flys

[MrWiteguy]

I saw some dude that had this on his server and said he made it smh

[fishdude333]

THATS AMAZING. KEEP IT UP!

[EvilGamerJ]

I Think I'll print my world :P

[sirwinsalot]

OMG DO THE EARTH!

[bobbaganoosh000]

Obsidian CAN occur naturally. The other three blocks don't. So you may have to adjust that a bit.

[yazpanda]

@bobbaganoosh000 but it doesn't appear next to the other blocks, and he said, not many people will use them in that formation within what they've made :)

[cryosabrexXx]

@bobbaganoosh000 but not above ground or in the same configuration with the other 3 blocks

[picorettte]

OH... MY... GOD... do creepers and steeves !! ill buy them :D

[SamOwnedYou]

imagine it printing out in color. a tiny version of your minecraft world in real life!

[faiz434]

@SamOwnedYou There is. watch this. The edges are smooth. /watch?v=ZboxMsSz5Aw

[westbakke]

Dear Santa

[827922011]

@ThisReviewGuy Go to the minecraft website and download the .jar file under Linux. Then you run it using the command they have listed and you should be good as long as you have java installed. Hope this helped. :D

[ParaHaXz]

I can now print my dirt house in 3D.

[nickguletskii200]

Ubuntu for the win! :D

[thejam200]

hello sheepy!

[IncubusGrauen]

starship looks pathetic :D

[AngusKSThomsen]

this is a match made in Heaven

[ObitoI3]

I have heard of 3D printers, but i never thought of using it this way. This is awesome
