Last time we tried to build something in Minecraft it came out looking like a giant penis. True story. In fact, that's what happens pretty much every time we try to build something.

But that may not be the case for you. In fact, you may have constructed something so beautiful that you'd like to turn it into a real-life paperweight. Good thing we're telling you about "Mineways," new software from Eric Haines that allows you to use a 3D printer to bring objects from Minecraft into the real world.

Check out the video above to see how it works and head to his site to download it for free. He even provides links to 3D printer services on the off-chance you don't have one lying around. Get with the times!

Thanks to Digital Trends for the tip. Are you still obsessed with Minecraft or has the magic begun to wear off? Do you think we'll start to see random 3D-printed objects at yard sales in ten years? Let us know your thoughts in the comments or on Twitter.
