Redstone has always been one of the trickiest elements of the game of Minecraft, there's a reason people who are good with it are known as 'redstone wizards' and there's recently been a redstone handbook released physically. However there's being good with redstone... and then there's being insanely talented with the stuff.



Player ItsJustJumby has achieved the latter with his impressive build: an actual working 3D printer made in Vanilla Minecraft. No mods, no alterations, just the vanilla game. The device makes use of 846 repeaters, 1124 hoppers, 9181 comparators, 10,539 pieces of redstone dust, and 20,103 command blocks and uses your typical standard chest as a blueprint for each individual layer.



Once the button is pressed it takes around a minute and a decent amount of lag before the creeper model is finished. While not perfect it is never the less, bloody impressive. I admire Jumby's patience!
