3 D printing Minecraft models with a Zprinter 650

The video shows the process of printing a Minecraft model on a Zprinter 650 3D printer. It starts after the model (created with the freeware tool Mineways) has been opened in the printing software and the print job was started. First, the printer prepares the printing chamber. Then, the model is printed by shooting colored glue on layer by layer of plaster powder. When all layers have been printed, the model can be dug out of the printing chamber with the help of a vacuum cleaner that is built into the printer. Then, the rest of the powder is removed with pressurized air in an extra chamber of the printer. After the model has been cleaned, is is fixated with special superglue, which also makes the colors more intense. As the model is basically some sort of sandstone, it absorbs most of the glue and gets very durable when it is dried. You can see some pictures of the printing process here:
