Impressive. Wouldn't it be clever if files such as these could also be used in 3D printing. But I assume they are two very different things.
You could 3D print this, but it would take a good amount of modifications to the mesh. Nothing close to impossible, but just a different workflow is all. Also add that 3D printing is quite expensive for a product that requires much work to smooth down and paint, and is somewhat brittle. Maybe once 3D printing becomes higher-resolution for cheaper prices.
