3d miniature of Tokyo, Japan!

Model created in Blender using the Blosm addon.

Tokyo was definitely the hardest miniature city so far! OSM data was missing probably ~30% of 3d building data which I manually tried to add-in using Google Earth as a reference. I tried my best to make sure all missing buildings were re-added and buildings with incorrect height were fixed. In addition, trying to select an area of Tokyo that fits inside my printable frame was incredibly challenging due to how massive Tokyo is! I hope to make a larger version in the future with more of Tokyo included.

In the meantime Let me know if you notice anything specific missing!

Printing & Slicing 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 also included a fully printable frame (including a 1mm thick water plate) designed to fit all my miniature cities.

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