3D Print Your City Map
For 3d Print, we need a GCODE file to command a 3d printer to print our model.
Use your printer Slice to generate files and print your Model.
I am using Ender-3 and CURA as slice software to generate the 3D print files.
Use the Below parameter of good print Resolution.
Nozzle=0.4mm
Print Speed = 45mm/s
Infill = 20
Adhesive = Brim
Generate a file and put it into 3d printer to print your model.
Happy Printing.
