Printing & Slicing Details

 

This model was designed to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.16mm layer heights. 

Try using a 0.2mm nozzle (0.08mm layer heights) or scaling up for even finer detail!

 

Note: If roads or smaller details disappear after slicing, try lowering the extrusion/line width of external perimeters (outer walls) closer to 0.4mm OR use Arachne walls. Can also enable the “Detect Thin Walls” setting.

 

Framing Details

 

This model measures almost exactly 6.7in by 4.7in (170.5mm X 119.5mm) and should fit most 5x7 frames (assuming frame lip/overlap is around a quarter inch). Feel free to change the scale/size of the model(s) to meet your needs.

 

Personally I use these cheap frames from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8HY7YSQ

And blue printer paper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IDQT

 

I also included a fully printable frame (including a 1mm thick water plate) designed to fit all my miniature cities.

A frame is not required! This model looks great by itself and can be displayed almost anywhere.

 

Other Details

 

Model created in Blender using the Blosm addon.
