This looks really neat.
I don't quite understand it though.
What is a 3D printer?
How could a printer print this 3D model?

PLA, ABS, and other common plastics used in 3D printing tend to be, well, as strong as plastic. Of course they'll also exhibit anisotropic strength issues - they'll be stronger parallel to the horizontal/printing plane. and weaker perpendicular to it, because of the way the plastic layers adhere to each other.
A common issue with many of the pony models people have made is that the necks, legs, wings, and horns are perpendicular to the printing direction, and are the first parts to break under mechanical stress. This can be overcome if the model is flipped on its side - something I've been playing around a bit.

Actually to address this problem I have been printing my parts at a slight angle.

These models are printed from PLA which is quite durable.
