A couple of years ago Troy Hunt printed a map of where he lives in Gold Coast[0], using a separate piece of plastic underneath to show off the canal running by his house. I spent a while trying to replicate this and eventually gave up as I was missing way too many skills (as well as a printer). I might have another bash at it using this project - thanks!
As an aside, has anybody in the UK used a 3D printing service that they would recommend?

- ayashko 3y agohttps://www.3dprint-uk.co.uk https://www.3dprint-uk.co.uk Great people to deal with and prices are usually excellent, especially if you don't need fast turnaround.
- heyoni 3y agoIf you do sort it out it needs a blog post!
- bobsmooth 3y agoIf you want to replicate a 3D print of that scale, buying your own printer is likely more cost effective. You can get a good printer for only a few hundred dollars.
- IshKebab 3y agoIt will cost you less just to buy a 3D printer. Online 3D printing is very expensive. I would only recommend it for small parts that can't be done with FDM.
