Since that first version I have completely rewritten Printcraft to make it a reliable and scalable tool for building models, this means that many more people can use it. The basic idea of Printcraft is very simple, it’s a customised Minecraft server, with the added ability to easily export models as files that can be printed on a 3D printer. To use Printcraft you first need a Minecraft account. If you don’t have one you can get Minecraft from Mojang. Then you login to one of our multi-player Minecraft servers: eu1.printcraft.org in Europe or us1.printcraft.org in America. When you are ready you press the PRINT button next to the building plot and your model is sent off to be processed. You are given a link to a web page to collect it from, here you can see a preview of your model, and download it as an STL file, which can be printed on any 3D printer. You can share it with others using Thingiverse or get a print made for you by i.materialise.
