About our models Each model is designed for 3D printing, building on our 5+ years' experience developing and selling cityscape models. Our process begins from basic geospatial layout data. Each city block is refined with digital sculpting tools from aerial imagery. We design with 3D printing in mind, balancing the density of the 3D mesh to capture key features within managable file sizes and slicing times. Our models are designed to print without the need for additional supports and for reliable reproduction on any FDM printer. While our design process is tedious and requires many iterations, it leads to truly unique and intricate models. We hope you enjoy our collection!


Recommended filament We print in Bright White PLA to show the 3D features with stark white highlights and grayscale shadows.


This 3D model was developed with reference data sources and satellite imagery from OpenStreetMap © OpenStreetMap contributors and USGS 3DEP.

Making your piece These make perfect centerpieces or collections for your home, to document your travels, or as distinct and unique gifts. Many design options are available - framed and unframed, for wall, tabletop or shelf display. They can be printed in a range of sizes with stunning detail, typically from 6"x6" up to 12"x12"+. The model can be cut into 4+ tiles to print and assemble a piece larger than your build plate.

  • Size: Scale to at least 150x150mm to preserve details.
  • Layer height: 0.18-0.25mm
  • Nozzle: 0.4-0.6mm
  • Infill: 15% Gyroid

Styling and display These look great framed or unframed! They can be displayed on tabletops, shelves, or hung on the wall with mounting strips. They look best when lit from the side. Display near a window, lamp or downlight to make the 3D features pop.

Materials Filament: For a minimalist look and best grayscale shadowing, use a matte white PLA. Marble and silky filaments are also popular looks. Frames: Choose a frame or shadow box that fits your print dimensions.
