Boston CityPrint E-7

Finally - you can download and 3D print the terrain and buildings for any part of Boston - or all of it! These 1km x 1km tiles cover the entire city, and not a single building is missing.

First, use the map at the BPDA 3D Smart Model site (link below) to find your tile, then head to our Collection of tiles (link below) and look for the code ("J-9" for example). Finally, just download and print! We recommend white PLA, 0.2mm layer heights, 4 top and 2 bottom layers, and a little retraction to prevent stringing between buildings. Or, if you'd like a set of printed and finished tiles, please contact us for pricing.

The geometry is in mm, so if you print it as-is, you will get a 100x100mm (4"x4") tile at 1:10000 scale. At this scale, all of Boston would be 6 feet high and 7.5 feet wide. If you print it 200% size, the model will be 1:5000 scale and each tile will measure 200x200mm (8"x8"). If you printed every tile, the resulting map would be 12.5 feet high and 15 feet wide! In fact,
