Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

The site lets you frame a town or city, customize a 3D model, and buy STL and multi-colour 3MF files for printing.

Landing page captured for the 2026-11-11 issue.
For
3D-printing hobbyists making place-based models
Worth noticing
Models are sized from 60–300 mm; the page recommends a 0.2 mm layer height and says supports are unnecessary.

Field notes

The workflow exposes several print-oriented choices before checkout: frame shape, model width, and building height. The page says the 3MF separates base, water, parks, roads, and buildings, and names Bambu Studio, PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer, and Cura as compatible slicers. It also states that prints may be sold if OpenStreetMap contributors are credited.
