Description

3d miniature of downtown Boston, Massachusetts!

 

Model created in Blender using the Blosm addon.

 

Check out my collection of other miniature cities: https://makerworld.com/en/u/1935755220/collections/146964

Larger version of Boston including Back Bay: https://makerworld.com/en/models/155646#profileId-170376

 

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 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 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.

Came out excellent for the parts I printed. I used Bambu silk blue pla for the water with the textured plate.

Can you do a model that includes Back Bay? It's a significant omission to leave that out of the Boston map, as that region to the north of what's shown in this model includes some very distinctive buildings including the Hancock which is the tallest building in New England. Perhaps you could please consider making an 8x10 model of Boston (like you did for New York which looks incredible!) that includes Back Bay and downtown?
