Community Creations - 3D Printer, in Minecraft
This creation almost defies belief - a fully functional 3D printer, inside Minecraft. How does it work, you ask? That's a really good question - and not one I ever found an answer to - but there is a lively discussion going on about that very subject.
ItsJustJumby created this monster, and says that it can print in all 16 wool colors in a 6x9x10 area, with any design you can imagine (within those dimensions). Win.

He did it to have fun and play around. He wanted to show this awesome invention he created.
Also, to the creator of this please and a link to download it so others can experience its awesomeness.
Not a new concept.
A 3D Printer that would work in survival would work much more slowly, yet would also be much simpler to make, using pistons and the same technique as self-repairing houses. But in both cases, these aren't true 3D printers.
The core difference between a true 3D printer and a vanilla MC version, in that in MC once the object is printed you can't pick it up and place it elsewhere. The object is stuck to the place it was printed until cleared. About as useful as cutlery to would be glued to the table, in a way.
So yeah the person who did this accomplished quite the incredible "feat" of engineering, but if he had put the same amount of energy into doing something really productive, he'd probably be much richer right now.
Still, quite the impressively massively extraordinary design.

Happy New Year!
