Printed on a Bambu H2C in 4 colors: tan land, white buildings, green trees and blue water.
How it's built:
- Buildings, paths and water come from OpenStreetMap.
- Most building heights come from free USGS lidar, and the mountains are shaped straight from it, then scaled up about 2x so they still read at 8 inches.
- Trees are placed from tree-canopy data. When I checked an earlier build against aerial photos, 94% landed within 3 m of real greenery.
Lesson learned: I printed this one with supports switched on by accident and got over 100 support blocks under the bridges and docks over the river. The next version fills the bridges in solid and slices with zero supports.
Happy to answer questions about how it's made!
