3D map generator: print any place in Europe BETA

Search a place, frame it in the square and build a printable 3D map with real buildings, roads, water and terrain. Download a multi-color 3MF for the Bambu AMS or a single STL. Free, no account.

Beta — still in development. Some features may not work as expected, and generated maps may contain errors. Check your model in a slicer before printing.

How it works

  1. Search a place or move the map until the square covers the area you want.
  2. Pick City, Landscape or Miniature, then set the size, base, building height, relief and layers.
  3. Add a place name if you like. It is raised on a band along the front of the base.
  4. Build the map. It takes 1 to 5 minutes; you see a 3D preview when it is ready.
  5. Download the 3MF (one part per color, ready for the AMS) or the STL (one color).

Questions

Which areas can I make a map of?

Anywhere in Europe that OpenStreetMap's European extracts cover. Russia, North Africa and the Middle East are not included. City and Miniature maps cover 0.25 to 5 km per side, Landscape maps 1 to 50 km.

Should I download the 3MF or the STL?

The 3MF holds one object per color (terrain, buildings, roads, water and the place name), with the prime tower already placed, for multi-color printing on a compatible Bambu printer with an AMS. Check the printer profile, filament assignments and slicing preview before printing. The STL is the whole map as one object, for printing in a single color or painting in your slicer.

How long does a map take?

Usually 1 to 5 minutes, depending on the area and how many buildings it has. Large city areas take longest. Keep this page open and visible until the map is ready. Mobile browsers can pause background tabs.

How long are the files kept?

Finished files are deleted after 45 minutes. Download them right away, or build the map again later; the share link brings back the same area and settings.

Where does the map data come from?

Buildings, roads and water come from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, ODbL 1.0). The terrain comes from the Copernicus WorldDEM-30 elevation model. Building heights use OpenStreetMap's height and level tags where they exist and a typical height where they don't.

Can I sell prints of these maps?

You may sell the prints you make with these tools. You don't need to ask first. The map data is OpenStreetMap's, so when you sell or show a print, credit "© OpenStreetMap contributors".

Will it fit my printer?

Maps are 100 to 200 mm per side and at most 240 mm tall, sized for a 256 × 256 mm bed with room for the prime tower. For smaller printers, choose a smaller model size.
