Model Institute, created in Minecraft, printed on a 3D-printer

Ben Rothman (a sophomore) created a half meter map of Northwestern University. This model is unique - first the entire campus was modeled in Minecraft, and then printed using a 3D printer.

In total, Ben took about 600 hours to do it (he started working in general in November). Materials for 3D printing took $ 2500.
