File: Sandcastle 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](https://3dwithus.com/sandcastles-capture-sand-art-with-3d-scanning-and-3d-printing), 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](https://3dwithus.com/rainbow-silk-filament-for-3d-printing), [Creality Ender 3 V2 Neo](https://3dwithus.com/creality-ender-3-v2-neo-review-3d-printer-testing-settings) (Review). In [Wood Filament](https://3dwithus.com/wood-filament) on [Creality Ender 5 S1](https://3dwithus.com/creality-ender-5-s1-review-3d-printer-testing-and-settings) (Review). In Dual Color PLA on [AnkerMake M5](https://3dwithus.com/ankermake-m5-review-3d-printer-testing-and-settings) (Review). https://www.tiktok.com/@3dwithus/video/7247760335938080027 According to our [3D print cost calculator](https://3dwithus.com/3d-print-cost-calculator), this 50g 3D print job costs $ 2.94 if printed on AnkerMake and the PLA price is $20 per KG.
