Awesome! I wish I knew more about the software and techniques. Is it the software that can take those multi-angled photographs and correctly render the size of the object? Was that entire little lego thing made in one pass on a 3d printer, or are there multiple steps involved with that? posted by antonymous at 9:15 AM on November 9, 2012
Do 3d printers print in color now or are those objects painted? It looks like he has paint on his fingers at the end but the lego bricks look so niiiiice and smooth. posted by SharkParty at 9:30 AM on November 9, 2012

Not sure what he used, but the short answer is yes. posted by gwint at 9:38 AM on November 9, 2012 [1 favorite]
If I were to happen upon that Lego corner in real life, my mind would probably unravel at the thought of a world with a secret Lego substructure. Glad I saw it here instead. posted by orme at 2:57 PM on November 9, 2012
That's so cool. I want to learn how to do that. Though 3D printing is still pretty expensive... My university charges $12/cubic inch, and it adds up faster than you'd think. But still. So cool. posted by vegartanipla at 9:05 PM on November 9, 2012
