As We Print WoW Toons

We're going to 3D print our World of Warcraft characters

3D Printing World of Warcraft Characters

By Aaron Judy posted May 20, 2017
The good folks at Blizzard have been receiving a payment from me religiously for years now.  I had seen some businesses that will produce a print of your toon painted perfectly to match.  I have always wanted one.  One of the first things I wondered if we could do with our 3D printer was, "how can we print our toons?!"
Toon = Role playing character that you customize and go on grand adventures through the many World(s) of Warcraft.

Here's where the talented developers behind the WoW Model Viewer come to our rescue.  This amazing tool will render your toon and best of all, let you save it as an object (OBJ) file.  Most 3D printer slicing software will read object files.

Most players know how to locate their armory URL.  You enter your character's name into the search on the main World of Warcraft website.  
Enter your toon's armory URL

Once you have your toon loaded, export it as an object (OBJ) file.

With your handy new OBJ file, load it into your favorite slicer.  Mine below is Cura, but there are many great slicing applications.

Load, scale, rotate and slice your model

The only thing left is to print your new master pieces and finish them to your satisfaction.
