TerraPrinter: 3D printable terrain models from real maps

Leaves out buildings whose footprint would print smaller than this across, such as sheds and kiosks that come out as loose specks. 0 keeps every building. Applies on the next Generate.

Adds floor lines to tall buildings and a raised edge around flat roofs, only where they are big enough to print. Turn off for plain blocks. Applies on the next Generate.

Famous landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower, CN Tower or Taj Mahal print as detailed 3D models instead of plain blocks when one fits inside your selection. Applies on the next Generate.

Prints every tree mapped in OpenStreetMap where it stands (cones for conifers, round crowns for broadleaf trees, sized from their real height where it's known), trees along mapped tree rows, and trees scattered through woods and parks, kept off buildings, roads and water. Applies on the next Generate / export.

Trees are at least 1.2 mm across and 1.6 mm tall so they print with a 0.4 mm nozzle. When a forest is too dense to print tree by tree at this size, Automatic prints it as a bumpy forest canopy instead.

Trees are their own part in a multi-colour 3MF. With Surface colours on, they automatically use the forest colour, so they don't need another filament.

Import one or more hikes/rides (.gpx) and emboss each as its own raised ridge on the terrain — every route gets its own colour and prints on its own filament. Make sure your selection covers the routes.

The default for every route. Type a width next to a route to change just that one.

Mark the places that matter, like where you met, your first home or where you said yes. Each pin prints as a raised marker in its own colour, with a numbered legend on the frame or base.

Click the map where the pin goes. Esc cancels.

Drag a pin on the map to move it. Changes show in the 3D preview and downloads without generating again.

Raised ski runs from OpenStreetMap, coloured by difficulty, plus ski lifts as dashed lines. Each colour prints on its own filament.

Fairways, greens, tees, bunkers, rough and water hazards from OpenStreetMap, each printed on its own filament as part of the terrain surface.

Draw your own buildings with the tools below — they extrude into the model and always print, even with the map's buildings turned off. Pick a tool and draw on the map; then hit Done and click a building (or a row below) to move, rotate, resize, or change its height.

Splits the terrain surface into printable colour regions, each printing as a thin coat welded onto the base terrain on its own filament — made for AMS / MMU / toolchanger printers. Applies on the next Generate / export.

Colour specks smaller than this (printed size) join the area around them — fewer filament swaps, cleaner print.
