Freetown, Sierra-Leone, Sierra Leone - 3D Miniature

3D printable topographic miniature of Freetown, Sierra-Leone - 🇸🇱 Sierra Leone

Capture the beauty of Freetown, Sierra-Leone's city landscape with this topographic miniature!
This 3D model represents the geographic area around the geo coordinates 8.480, -13.270 (LatLng).

It is scaled down from a geographic area of around 2.814 km x 1.959 km to a 3D printable miniature in the dimensions of 170.5 mm x 119.5 mm. The scale from the geographic area (5.512 sq km) to the miniature is approximately ~16501:1.

The terrain is modeled from geographic data for realistic terrain representation. Ideal for educational purposes, architectural visualization, or as a decorative piece.

Included Frames:

• 190.70 x 139.70 x 18.50 mm, text engraving "Freetown, Sierra-Leone", with hanging holes
• 178.70 x 127.70 x 18.00 mm, no text engraving, with hanging holes (fits A1 mini bed size)
• 190.70 x 139.70 x 18.00 mm, no text engraving, with hanging holes
• 190.70 x 139.70 x 18.50 mm, text engraving "Freetown", with hanging holes

What's Included:

• STL files for the miniature and all frame variants
• Generic 3MF containing all STLs for easy import into any slicer
• Bambu Studio 3MF with optimized print profiles for A, P, X, and H-Series printers (pre-colorized)
• Snapmaker Orca 3MF with optimized print profiles for the Snapmaker U1 (pre-colorized)

Recommended Print Settings:

• The included 3MF files contain two highly specialized print profiles: "miniature-classic" and "miniature-arachne". For optimal results, use "miniature-arachne" (note: expect long slicing times).
• Due to the nature of geographic terrain data, models may contain non-manifold geometry or areas that require support material. This cannot be avoided. Our included print profiles handle these cases well.
• For printers from other manufacturers or other slicers, check our Miniature Printing Guide for recommended settings (especially support settings).

Assembly:

• Gently put the miniature into the frame. Depending on your printer's calibration, that should be enough to hold the miniature.
• If in doubt, use some super glue. For PLA, I use thick cyanoacrylate glue. I experienced best results with glue that contains Ethyl-2-cyanacrylat.
• Hanging Holes: My frames always have a hole pattern divisible by 10 mm - for this miniature's size the "Hanging Hole Distance" results in 60 mm between holes.

Includes STLs, a generic 3MF, and optimized 3MF files with print profiles for BambuStudio (A, P, X, H-Series; pre-colorized) and Snapmaker Orca (U1; pre-colorized). Models may have non-manifold geometry or layers needing support due to geographic terrain data - our included print profiles "miniature-classic" and "miniature-arachne" handle this.
