Printing tips for Oldham
- A 150–200 mm print fits most printers; for bigger displays, use multi-tile mode and print it in pieces.
- Print at 0.12–0.16 mm layer height for smooth slopes and fine ridges, with 10–15% infill.
- Buildings print cleanly without supports; a 2–3 mm base keeps thin streets from warping.
- Want color? Export 3MF: terrain, water, roads and buildings come out as separate parts for multi-color printers.
Questions
Is the Oldham 3D model free?
Yes. TerraPrinter is free with no account needed: generate the model in your browser and download it as STL, 3MF, GLB or OBJ.
Which file format should I use for printing?
STL works with every slicer. 3MF keeps terrain, water, roads and buildings as separate colored parts, which is ideal for multi-color printers.
How big will the print be?
You choose: the default is 200 mm on the longest side. Larger models can be split into tiles or jigsaw puzzle pieces that fit your print bed.
Where does the terrain data come from?
Elevation comes from the Copernicus GLO-30 digital elevation model (about 30 m resolution), with Mapzen Terrain Tiles on AWS as a fallback. Buildings, roads and water come from OpenStreetMap.
