Take your build out of the Studio

Anything you build in the Studio, a character, an animal, a car or a house, can leave it as a real thing: a file for a 3D printer, blueprints on paper, a model for Blender, or blocks in Minecraft. Open your build, press ⬇ Export, and pick. The files are made in your browser from your build and saved where you choose.

On a 3D printer

1. Under For a 3D printer, say how tall to print it, in millimetres (100 to start).
2. Read the line under it: how big it prints (wide, deep and tall), and any part thinner than 0.8 mm, the least a common printer makes, by name.
3. Leave Make what is too thin just thick enough to print ticked, or print it bigger: a thin part is made just that thick, its length and place kept, so a tower's struts print instead of vanishing.
4. Press STL, or 3MF to keep each part's colour, and open the file in your printer's slicer (Cura, PrusaSlicer, Bambu Studio). It prints the parts as one piece and adds the supports it needs.

Blueprints

Side, front and top (SVG) draws your build three ways on one sheet, every view at the same scale, each measured in its own size with a scale bar. Print it on paper to build from, cut out or trace.

In Blender

glTF (.glb) is your build as Blender, and most 3D tools, open it: each part its own object in its colour, at its real size. In Blender: File, Import, glTF 2.0.

To bring it back, save it from Blender with File, Export, glTF 2.0, and tick Include: Custom Properties. In the Studio, From a 3D file opens it again as the very build it was, ready to change. A .glb from anywhere else comes in too: each of its objects becomes a part where it stands, as big and as turned, a box, a cylinder or a ball, in its colour and with its name, and you shape it from there.

In Minecraft

Under For Minecraft, say how many blocks long its longest side is (40 to start), or tick Real size, a block a metre. Hollow inside keeps only the walls, so there is room to walk in. Each part takes the block nearest its colour: concrete, wool, terracotta, planks, bricks and the rest. Then pick the file for your Minecraft:

• Java (.schem), with WorldEdit or Litematica: put it in their schematics folder, then //schem load and //paste with WorldEdit, or load it from Litematica's menu.
• Java, no mods (.nbt): put it in your world's generated/minecraft/structures folder, then /place template minecraft: and its name. A structure block loads it too, up to 48 blocks a side.
• Bedrock and Minecraft Education (.mcstructure): a structure block, Load, Import.

Worlds go to Minecraft as well. A world you built in the 🌍 World tab: its Share panel makes it a way to walk through, a block a block. A place to walk in 🎮 Game: its level's panel puts every build where it stands, at its own size, on grass, with its roads, paths and water.

Minecraft Education is the edition schools use, so a class can build a character or a town here and walk around it together there.
