Simcity 2000 Buildings

myminifactory

Intended for 3d print. Miniature buildings. Based on buildings from the computer game Simcity 2000. More specifically, all buildings that can be built on Light Residential zoning. So exclusively one-square houses.This model pack also includes a set of road squares, so that you can build a road network.Finally, the model pack includes boards with a grid pattern, on which you can place the buildings and roads. Each square in the grid can receive one building/road tile. The buildings and roads all have square extractions on their underside, which slots into the square holes on the board. The idea is that you can build villages, towns and cities by placing them on the board. Maybe make a miniature copy of your home town, or build your ideal city et cetera. I guess it's more geared towards children than adults. My plan is to make many more building packs like this one (so dense-residential condominiums, commercial zoning stores and office buildings, industrial warehouses and factories, et cetera). Eventually you'll be able to build a much more varied miniature community using buildings from various model packs. They' all be compatible with the board(s) included in this pack. I may make some kind of ruleset down the line, to get more use out of the tiles and boards. But that's still some ways into the future. Maybe you can make up some of your own? The boards have a 15x15 square grid. Note that you can print multiple copies of the straight-walled board, and place them together to create a larger grid if you want to build a larger city than what fits on a 15x15 grid. There is no particular scale intended for these models. But realistically, you'll want the building tiles to be at least 1x1 cm in size. Smaller than this and you'll lose detail, and might even get issues with structural integrity for the printed tiles. I'd probably recommend that you print the tiles at slightly larger size than this, maybe 1,5 or even 2 cm. But it really depends on the quality of your printer and slicer program. The default scale of the tiles is 1x1cm when you first load the models into your slicer, but you can easily change this in your slicer.
