Minneapolis Minnesota - Downtown

thingiverse

This is a detailed model of downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. I found inspiration in the innovative work of Microscape.co, a company that pushes the boundaries of digital mapping technology. The model was created using photogrammetry techniques combined with Google Earth data. What's fascinating is that it's actually a scan of the 3D data generated by photogrammetry, which is now being integrated into select cities on Google Earth. As such, this model represents a reproduction of a reproduction. When importing the model into your slicing software, you may notice it appears larger than expected. To achieve optimal results, simply scale it down to your preferred size. The model in the images was printed at 15 by 15 centimeters. However, depending on your printer's capabilities, you might be able to print it as small as 10 by 10 centimeters while still maintaining most of the details.
