Square Frames | Snap-Together

Designed for our 3D Map Collection.


This frame is printed as four members that snap together with the printed inserts. Features:

  • Smoother top surface by printing the frame members on their edges.
  • Built-in nail holes for wall hanging.
  • Fast prints using minimal material.
  • Larger possible sizes. Frame members can be oriented diagonally on the build plate, allowing for larger frame and 3D map sizes.
  • Multiple profiles and textures (coming soon).

Steps: 1. Identify your 3D Map size (X and Y dimension) 2. Scale the frame. The frames can be scaled to a custom size in the slicer using our Online Frame Scaling Calculator For example, the default frame for 180mm models is 180.2mm. To accomodate a 188mm model with a 0.2mm margin for fit, the scaling factor is 104.44%. 3. Slice, print and snap together! Add a small bead of glue to the ledge of the frame and set the 3D map inside to cure in place.

The Snap-Together Frames are awesome.  A simple object done right.  Great design and wonderful array of embellishments.
3D printing for roughly 2 weeks but after I saw the Micropolitan products I knew i had to print a Washington Commanders product immediately. The frame is a nice addition and excited to fine tune this more. Great products available and looking forward to printing more.
Scaled up to fit a 350x350 stadium
Tottenham Hotspur Stadium (top left) Bank of America Stadium (top right) Progressive Field (bottom left) Allegint Stadium (bottom right). These snap together frames print super fast, assemble really well and look terrific! 3 of the 4 are snap together frames. Bank of America is the traditional frame.

These frames are a brilliant design. So clever, such a solid connection. Going to use one of those glitzy print beds to make them sparkle ;)

First, great model. Makes the topo maps even more fun to display!

Any tips for getting a tight fit on the corners? I'm finding that there is a small (but noticeable) gap at each corner. Printing using a Bambu A1 with new belts, new hotend, dry filament, etc..

This is fixed now with a flange to hide any small gaps

Hey thanks! We're working on a modified verison with a small lip that hides the through-line so any gap won't show through. For us the gaps are hidden pretty well when the frame is set on a surface or hung up so light doesn't shine through, but there might be some variation based on the filament/printer.

Fantastic! What are some nice filaments to use with this?

I used Overture Matte Black PLA. I love the matte finish to draw more attention to the artwork in the center. Black or any color that coordinates with your space would look nice!

Is there an STL file version for this?

I have a 3d map I want to make a frame for but it's rectangular instead of square. It's got 250mm X and 180mm Y. Can I make use of your beautiful frames here?
