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?

https://www.3dprint-uk.co.uk Great people to deal with and prices are usually excellent, especially if you don't need fast turnaround.

If 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.

It 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.

It might be worth it to some people to avoid having to learn a new process involving bespoke software and hardware and have someone else do it with a guaranteed outcome.

If you do sort it out it needs a blog post!
