1. A system comprising:
one or more processing devices; and
memory communicatively coupled with and readable by the one or more processing devices and having stored therein processor-readable instructions which, when executed by the one or more processing devices, cause the one or more processing devices to perform operations comprising:
accessing one or more video image frames of a scene of media content that is presented with a display device;
identifying an object that is represented in the one or more video image frames;
determining whether the object is a candidate for manufacture as a printed 3D object; and
consequent to determining that the object is a candidate for manufacture as a printed 3D object, generating content showing and/or describing the object for a user-selectable option to select the object.
