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.

I needed display stands for my growing collection of rockhounding fossils and minerals. I now have a complete set of 3d printable gem and mineral displays available, both blank and labeled.

This includes:

-Total of 48 display stands for 3d printing in STL format. 

- Four (4) different styles of display stands (square, rectangle, square with prongs, rectangle with prongs), in multiple sizes (ranging from 1cm x 1cm to 10cm x 5cm [3.93in x 1.96in]), without text. The displays without prongs feature a cavity to assist with holding the minerals in place. They may also be used for other collectible item displays. They potentially can be resized even larger. 

- Labeled displays for Agate, Amethyst, Fluorite, Garnet, Quartz, and Pyrite in all 4 styles. I have included photos of customized bases with additional text added from my own collection for example purpose of what is possible with these files; these are not available to download through this listing for now. If there is enough requests for a specific name/specimen, I may include that in future updates. 

It is possible to add text on your own to the blank displays using TinkerCad or similar software. However, text size will depend on your printer's printing resolution and may not be possible for the smaller sizes. I was able to print down to size 8 font on the 3x3cm square.

I have found these display stands immensely helpful in organizing my collection. Please let me know if you have questions about them. These are available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 4.0 International (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/deed.en)
