Bring the city skyline into your home in true 3D! These make for the perfect gift or home decor for residents, travelers, and admirers of the city.

**This listing includes Small, Medium, and Large versions that can be printed at a variety of scales and sizes. See the included PDF for details.**

_Follow to keep an eye on the **new models we release each week**!_

**Steps**:
1. Import the STL to your slicer. 
2. Scale the X or Y dimension to the desired size with 'Uniform scale' checked.
3. Print as one-piece or split into tiles in the slicer for larger sizes.
5. Slice and print!
6. Set on shelf, tabletop, or hang on wall with sticky mounting strips. 
7. Optionally, stylize it with a frame and background mat or multi-color print in your unique way!

**About the models**
These are the most detailed and accurate 3D-printable cityscape and landscape models available. Each is designed and optimized from Micropolitan's 5+ years of experience developing and selling 3D prints of iconic locations worldwide. Each model is designed by hand, using a combination of data and reference imagery. We use LiDAR and refine the architecture, block by block, using digital sculpting tools and satellite imagery. The models are then optimized for detail preservation while keeping the file size manageable for everyday computers.

**Making your piece**
These make perfect centerpieces or collections for your home, to document your travels, or as distinct and unique gifts. Many design options are available - framed and unframed, for wall, tabletop or shelf display. They can be printed in a range of sizes with stunning detail, typically from 6"x6" up to 12"x12"+. The model can be cut into 4+ tiles to print and assemble a piece larger than your build plate. 

- Size: Scale to at least 150x150mm to preserve details.
- Layer height: 0.18-0.25mm
- Nozzle: 0.4-0.6mm
- Infill: 15% Gyroid
- Walls: Arache Off

**Styling and display**
These look great framed or unframed! They can be displayed on tabletops, shelves, or hung on the wall with mounting strips. They look best when lit from the side. Display near a window, lamp or downlight to make the 3D features pop.

**Materials**
Filament: For a minimalist look and best grayscale shadowing, use a matte white PLA. Marble and silky filaments are also popular looks.
Frames: Choose a frame or shadow box that fits your print dimensions. 

This 3D model was developed with reference data sources and satellite imagery from OpenStreetMap and OpenStreetMap contributors and USGS 3DEP.

Hold onto your butts! 
This shadow box features the famous T-Rex escape scene from the original Jurassic Park movie. Each layer is 3D printed in a separate color and then stacked on top of each other to create the illusion of depth. Add the toy vehicle to make it more like a diorama. The exterior features screw holes in the back and top if you want to hang it on a wall. It also looks great just sitting on a desk or shelf. 

 

Assembly Instructions
Print each part using the color recommendations provided. Print out 6 of the square spacers. PLA filament was used but other materials may work as well. You will need white paper, scissors, and glue. 

 

1.) Lay box shell on flat surface with opening face up. Make sure screw holes are positioned upright. 

2.) Cut out small piece of white paper to fit into shell. Glue into place. This white layer will serve as the moon. 

3.) Place blue sky layer inside shell on top of the white paper. Glue into place. Wait for glue to dry. 

4.) Add spacers to corners. Glue into place. Wait for glue to dry. 

5.) Add square spacer layer. Glue into place. Wait for glue to dry. 

6.) Repeat steps with the remaining layers in this order: Clouds, Mountains, Plants Back, Dino, Plants Front, Fence. Be sure to place the 4 corner spacers and the square spacer between each layer. Glue everything in place. Wait for glue to dry between each layer. 

7.) Add the lid with glue to seal it shut. Wait for everything to dry. 

8.) Stand the box up and place the car ramp in front of it with your choice of vehicle (not included). 

 

You can also make the secondary version of this diorama by not using any of the spacers. That way there is more room inside the box to fit both the ramp and the vehicle!
