Da Nang city in Vietnam 3D map (insanely detailed)

WARNING: Since Bambu slices every model uploaded to MakerWorld on the cloud, my 0.2mm nozzle print profile has been canceled because of the excessive slicing time. However, if you can afford the long print time, I still recommend switching to a 0.2mm nozzle in the print settings after downloading this file. The quality is worth it. This model is extremely heavy. A 15-minute wait time for slicing is normal for 0.2mm nozzle and 0.04 mm-0.14 mm variable layer height (yes, I have sliced this map 20+ times to get to this final version). Slicing for 0.4mm nozzle takes about 3-5 minutes.

This 3D map is unlike anything you have seen anywhere. Most other 3D-printed maps are monochrome. We are Bambu Lab users; why do we waste the AMS(lite) 's potential?

• The map is built from the real map data of Da Nang city, Vietnam; plus some manually added details due to the original map having low resolution. I tried my best to recreate the most accurate landscape as possible.
• The map is so big that I have to break it down into 2 build plates, 1 for the left half and 1 for the right half.
• This masterpiece took me one full week to color and another one week to fine-tune the 3mf file. It is also a great chance to showcase your printer resolution. You will be amazed at how much quality you can squeeze out of it.
• Currently, this map does not fit on the A1 mini, I will add a print profile for the A1 mini if there are enough people interested in it.

Printer preparation:

• Here I use matte filaments because they are great for hiding layers of lines. I also used a 0.2mm nozzle, which allows me to go as low as 0.04mm layer height. Variable layer height has been fine-tuned to reduce the print time while ensuring the highest resolution.

• There are empty rectangular slots inside the model. These are for embedding the magnets at the back and magnets at the side. You can ignore these if the magnet is unneeded and the final printed quality remains the same. I used 20x5x2 magnet bars. If you want to purchase the same one I used, you can get it from Amazon. https://www.amazon.ca/DIYMAG-Magnets-Neodymium-Storage-DIY-0-78/dp/B09T91SW31/ref=sr_1_12?crid=3F870B98PSE7X&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pQ2eLAI0wg82HpF2rYT6ClaaD2h2Mls_qaMwn3dXaWuzq9ijdqIDlROOH1xR-oXIRhcuTLqeYmalS5k7QxMFwzJzmBW7sexe6QjFV7VeVIooVn_Rr8XHfyF4Bg2RJv8sbEIdYelTZ7QJfqTTQxtHELJ66cC5qPsjl1am-Am-D2X9nxSduGUmkXCcDZ-4uoEwr-KzpPuS-0SdEb4jHvFngERrmMHnMEHs3o8E4OnlAfdJb7q-_x0f50OAFfBFLjtzme_l0kbe6QxMry6PRupamNLaSNFcADQeOycA3AYV_Uo.lF8gNEVKimHsB_6SWISq6Iea_FqwAVNc4E1MJiNr_bM&dib_tag=se&keywords=magnet%2Bbar&qid=1732769665&sprefix=magnet%2Bb%E1%BA%A3%2Caps%2C182&sr=8-12&th=1

  Or you can bundle two 10x5x2 magnet bars (from Bambu supply) to be a 20x5x2 magnet bar.

  Attention: if you embed the side magnets, please make sure they are in the correct polarity to attract to each other and not oppose each other. For the 3 side magnets, I placed the 1st magnet facing its North to the left, the 2nd one facing its South to the left, and the 3rd one is the same as the 1st one, This ensures you can never misalign two halves of the map.

• Recommendation: You can replace the turquoise filament with a darker blue filament, it can make the river and stream more prominent on the map. Pause the print at layer 24 (0.4mm nozzle) and layer 42 (0.2mm nozzle) to embed the back magnets. Pause the print at layer 31 (for 0.4mm nozzle) or layer 55 (for 0.2mm nozzle) to embed the sidebar magnets.

May the electricity be with you on this adventurous print :D
