The downside to the printers is the very small print bed, but it It, a DLP resin printer, retailing new from Amazon.Com at under $300.00USD is a Have to do some sanding and filing to hide the obvious layer lines. You can still print good models with an FDMįilament printer, but it’s not as easy to get the good quality. Typical FDM filament printers can reliably print at 100 toĢ00 microns for the layer height. The layer height for DLP resin printers can go as low as 25 microns for

That’s not a bad deal when you consider how much work it would take to do this by hand.Where do you find good gaming STL models to 3d Print? You’ve done the hard part. PlaceMakers charges USD$99 for 500 credits, suggesting that the video example would have cost under USD$5. The amount of credits required for an operation seems to vary by the number of map tiles, but in the video example, they required 24 credits to complete the deal. PlaceMakers sells their product in “credits”, which are purchasable from them directly. This makes sense as this is such a powerful product. PlaceMaker covers many worldwide cities in its database But that’s a small price to pay to get yourself a 3D printed city. Creating a 3D city model with PlaceMakerįrom there you could theoretically export the 3D model as STL and actually 3D print it, although I suspect you’d have to do some serious 3D file repairs before it might work properly. Here’s a video showing how it works:Įssentially, they allow you to select a region of terrain and then they extract information from the Digital Globe database to create the 3D shapes. Nope, not happening.īut instead you can literally generate this in seconds using SketchUp and PlaceMaker. Take a look at the image at top and imagine building that by yourself, even with an efficient 3D tool. A generated 3D model of San Francisco using PlaceMaker
Their “PlaceMakers” extension has the wonderful ability to automatically generate a 3D model of cities – including buildings, roads and greenery. Nevertheless, SketchHp does offer a very interesting extension that I haven’t seen in other environments yet. It’s just too easy to create non-3D printable models in SketchUp and you are best to use other 3D print-specific tools. I don’t often recommend SketchUp for 3D printing purposes, as it is primarily focused on visual 3D, rather than the solid 3D required for proper 3D printing. SketchUp has a very interesting extension called “PlaceMaker” that can instantly generate 3D models of cities. A 3D model of a city instantly created with PlaceMaker
