3D Map of the City of London

thingiverse

I created this model using Open Streetmap data downloaded in late September 2018. The area it covers is likely not the true boundary of the city, but rather a region I would frequently walk through during lunch breaks from my office when I worked there. The map spans from Barbican in the northwest to Tower Bridge in the southeast and Liverpool St in the northeast to Tate Modern in the southwest. Several notable buildings are modeled accurately, including St Pauls Cathedral. Unfortunately, the OSM data for the shard depicts it as a rectangular structure instead of its actual slender, pointed shape, but the Gherkin is rendered well along with many other nearby structures. The logo at the bottom of the model was based on an SVG file from logos.wikia.com, modified slightly to improve laser cutting quality. I followed instructions from the Open Streetmap wiki for 3D printing OSM data, using Fusion 360 instead of Blender as the software tool.
