🖌️ Coloring Details

 

Filament colors used in the model photos:

• Bambu Matte Red (racetrack)
• Bambu Matte Ash Gray (buildings & roads)
• Bambu Basic Dark Gray (vegetation)
• Bambu Matte Black (terrain)
• Sun-lu Dark Gray / Sun-lu Sky Blue (water)
• Bambu Matte Black (frame)

These colors are based on personal preference and the filaments I had available.

Try experimenting with different color combinations to suit your style!

 

I highly recommend Matte filaments!

 

This model looks great even if printed with a single color, so an AMS is not necessarily required.

 

🖨️ Slicing & Printing Details

 

This model was designed to be printed with a 0.4mm nozzle and 0.16mm layer heights.

Try using a 0.2mm nozzle (0.08mm layer heights) or scaling up for even finer detail!

 

Note: If roads or other small details disappear after slicing, try lowering the extrusion/line width of external perimeters (outer walls) closer to 0.4mm OR use Arachne walls (can also enable “Detect Thin Walls”).

 

🖼️ Framing Details

 

This model measures almost exactly 6.7in by 4.7in (170.5mm X 119.5mm) and should fit most 5x7 frames (assuming frame lip/overlap is around a quarter inch). Feel free to change the scale/size of the model(s) to meet your needs.

 

Personally I use these cheap frames from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C8HY7YSQ 

And blue printer paper: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00006IDQT

I've also uploaded a fully printable frame (including a 1mm thick water plate) designed to fit all my miniature cities!

 

For this model, I actually printed the water plate with a light-gray filament and used that in my frame.

 

A frame is not required! This model looks great by itself and can be displayed almost anywhere.
