Artists and enthusiasts of all ages, who create beautiful but short-lived seasonal sandcastles, sculptures, and other forms of sand art, could use 3D scanning and 3D printing to capture their work, either to create a miniature or an asset for virtual worlds.

In my new 3D scanned sandcastles guide, I will briefly explain how to 3D scan objects of considerable size, which software to use for a quick cleanup, how to edit the object if needed, and what to consider when 3D printing such objects.

For comparison, I printed the object in 3 different filaments on different printers:

In Slik Rainbow PLA, Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo (Review).
In Wood Filament on Creality Ender 5 S1 (Review).
In Dual Color PLA on AnkerMake M5 (Review).

According to our 3D print cost calculator, this 50g 3D print job costs $ 2.94 if printed on AnkerMake and the PLA price is $20 per KG.
