Custom 3D Printed Minecraft Lego-type figures!
So, Last month i've bought a 3D printer, And i have been fiddling with custom legos, And for a holiday gift, I've made my younger two brothers Minecraft Legos, seeing as the three of us love playing in the game together, and the current Minecraft Legos are so gross looking.
So I present to you, my custom 3D printed Minecraft figures!!!
It started with about 30 failed prototypes, resizing and adjusting the smallest ammounts, here is a final prototype:
In an easy to paint white.
Of course i also made the heads interchangeable, (unfortunately not the arms or legs though...)
Even the weapons can be swapped back and fourth!
Next, i tinkered with another color, Brown, For weapons and armor!
Full body Leather armor! (custom helmand brown colored body)
The weapons i have made so far, I have also made these in white, For easy custom painting,
Also, all of the weapons and armor pieces are Pixelized (on all sides but the bottom) to look like the Minecraft Counterparts without having to paint them! They are also Pixel correct to the game, So the weird sized weapons, for each pixel of the weapon, the physical piece has that many squares in it, except for the round handles of course! Also, in order to let it fit the hands, the sword's hilt is sliiiiightly longer.
And lastly, CUSTOM SKINS!
I am even able to take a custom skin, and either raise or lower the pixels to make a physical lego compatable head or body! Here is an example of the heads:
Soon to come! Diamonds!!! The armor, And the weapons, they are actually printing now at the time of this post!
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask! I am also always open to suggestions!
this is all going to be a Christmas gift to my mentioned siblings, So anything that i should add to this small starter pack type of collection will be great to hear about!
Also, to my siblings, if y'all see this, pretend you didn't and act surprised

These look awesome, What did you model it in?

Not quite sure i understand what you mean,
It was modeled in a program called Blender, on the computer,
Or if you meant what type of material, it's PLA, a plant based plastic.
Soon to come: Iron, Stone, and gold items! And Axes, Hoes, Swords, and Shovels!

Diamond Picks, Axes, And Armor made!!!
I think i will throw the picks up on Ebay, if anyone is interested in buying one or two, They are totally workable with Lego, and non toxic PLA plastic.
