Description
Alexandria — A miniature tribute to the city of knowledge and the sea
When looking back at the lost wonders of the ancient world,
it is hard not to wonder what Alexandria looked like at the height of its brilliance.
This 3D printed model began with that question —
a quiet tribute to Alexandria around 300 BC, when the city stood as one of the greatest centers of knowledge, culture, and maritime power in the Mediterranean.
Design Highlights
- Inspired by the urban form of ancient Alexandria during the early Hellenistic period
- Features a dense city layout shaped by coastal geometry, monumental architecture, and the spirit of a rising intellectual capital
- Designed as a single-piece model that prints without supports
- No post-processing required – created for a clean, support-free print that is ready straight off the build plate
Display Information
- A minimalist historical display piece for a desk, shelf, or wall
- Recommended filament: Matte PLA
Try printing it with a matte filament — it can greatly improve the overall quality of the print.
