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 other small details disappear after slicing, try or lowering the extrusion/line width of external perimeters (outer walls) closer to 0.4mm OR use Arachne walls.

Framing Details

This model measures almost exactly 8.5x8.5in (217.2mm X 217.2mm) and should fit most 9x9 frames (assuming frame lip/overlap is around a half-inch). Feel free to change the scale/size of the model(s) to meet your needs, but if the model is shrunk too much smaller features such as roads and vegetation might too small for the slicer to recognize. I plan on uploading an even larger version in the future without these details for more freedom with scaling and sizing.

Personally I used this cheap frame from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C9GMB1X8

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