A Massive Manhattan Model: A Large Scale 3D Printable Cityscape Each individual tile measures no more than 20x20x18cm in size, making it the perfect addition to any desk or shelf. For a closer look at this incredible model, check out the pictures on Imgur: http://imgur.com/gallery/zMSaf. You can also witness the printing process unfold with the print timelapse video on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o0Ozmxi8ig Printing Details: Printer: Manju3 Rafts: No supports were needed to keep the model stable during printing. Supports: Absolutely none were required, thanks to the printer's precision. Resolution: A precise 0.2mm resolution was used to ensure every detail is accurate. Infill: The infill density was set to a moderate 10% to balance strength and weight. After the Print: The file names of the individual slices contain a row and column number, making it easy to figure out where each piece goes in the final model. Since most edges are not perfectly straight, some trial and error may be necessary to get everything to fit together properly. To display your finished Manhattan model, we recommend using double-sided tape to stick it securely to a wall. The Design: This 3D model was created by combining two separate Sketchup models: https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=ubd6e457b-809e-4dfc-9185-73df42756a5e https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model.html?id=9e06037c06e02f94db33e13a72267647 Next, the model was edited in Blender to crop and arrange it into the final shape. A small clearance gap of about 0.4mm was left between each slice to account for any slight printer calibration issues that may arise during printing.
