Exporting structures that have been created in Minecraft is a great way for students to re-present their work and any evidence of learning in other formats – including 3D Print. In another Post I went through how to Export structures from Minecraft as 3D Objects.

I recently attended a Microsoft Education webinar where Stephen Reid presented and in following up the resources he has created came across his 3D Printer World.  This is a world which looks and works like a 3D printer making it much easier to export a structure from Minecraft. He has also created a Class Set of Printers so the whole class can construct and export – even work together!

build on a Minecraft 3D Printer then export and print on real 3d printer

Students can access the world, build their structures on the grey Minecraft 3D printer platform and easily export them with the structure block already positioned. Download the 3D Print Worlds from this link – https://www.immersiveminds.com/3d-print-world

There are 2 different sized 3D Printer worlds along with the Class set so everyone can build and export together. Great idea!
