for blender. Instead of having to fix each of the cut off faces manually, you can just turn on a pre-installed add-on in blender called “3d print tool box” it has an option to repair models the same way as fusion 360, in that case it would automatically fix those faces. and of course it can be used in any of the other steps to fix the model instead of using fusion. Though sometimes it doesn’t always work perfectly so always check the result and redo it or manually do some of it and it will complete the rest etc.

I live in the Netherlands so I can just print out a flat square and be done with it.

Found this through Reddit. Bro, this is amazing. I just paid someone to make me one of a city for 12 dollars. Oh well, we live and learn. Thank you !

A few years back, the English Environment Agency made its lidar data open-access so for a lot of the country you can get heightmap data down to the nearest 1m or less, which is cool. Like I can see my house and the particular shape of its roof.

This was the most straightforward and clear tutorial that I've seen in a long time!

Wow. If only all other KZfaq tutorials had been as clear and useful as yours. Great Work! Thanks!

it might be cooler if every 10th layer had a different colour (if printed flat) , so when looking from above you would get contour lines.

I've manually modeled a number of topographical areas, some with buildings, in AutoCAD. Some models took several days to complete. I must say these methods are many times faster and easier, however they don't have the same level of detail. These tools are most definitely worth it for most folks. Thanks for the information!

Really love the video. I searched much online but only found paid content or confusing tutorials. Your explanation is pretty straight forward and clear to follow

When printing terrain, print it on its side. Nature does a great job at preventing overhangs! *particularly steep mountains MAY have you trouble, but zooming out will get you more mountains and no problems 😉

Hey Lukis , I normally don't comment on youtube videos , but this time I just wanted to thank you for all of your videos especially the drawing ones on the Lukischannel , your drawings have impacted my childhood, and right now I want to start drawing again after years of neglect, and i just happen to remember you and your channels, Thanks again for all the memories !

In most slicers you can add geomerty to parts, there's a bunch of primatives that can be added and combined with models easily so you don't have to use a CAD program to add a base to your model

My dude. You are a life saver! This tutorial is *fantastic* and the fact you included those other 2 resources makes it even better. I've been trying to do this for the last 3 weeks and all the other tutorials I could find absolutely sucked. THANK YOU!

A really good tutorial. The only thing I'd add is selecting 'variable layer height' in your slicer will produce a better quality print when it comes to curved surfaces like the terrain.

this video killed it - Google Maps API is beyond limit

I haven't tried it yet, but I like how you explained it in your video. 👍

Very cool, tried the Blender method about a year ago, but fail due to my unfamiliarity with the software at the post-processing step. That solves that 👍

Thanks for that tutorial! It's perfect for a project I was planning to make for next year, where I'd need rectangular city layouts for population sections inside a large space station (elements inside a large transparent plastic tube).

Lukis so goated for this. Thank you sir

Love that multicolored terrain print!

Finally! I've been looking for this for quite a while

Very good tutorial. Thanks for the information.

Awesome video - have wanted to reproduce my local mountains. Thanks for the video!!

Amazing tutorial, thank you!

I'm trying this now, step by step, but when I switch to edit mode, the map image, drops to the flat plane below, making the buildings and other elements float. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Woww non conoscevo questa possibilità. Grazie! 😊

I keep getting "search failed: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" error when trying to use touch mapper. Anyone know how to fix this?

Super cool, wish my home town was 3D on google maps

Great stuff thanks for sharing !

If possible, if anybody has any tips to make these models with higher quality, please comment below

Some reason any browser I use it says Google maps cant be loaded correctly, do I own the website 😐

Matterhorn is no longer on Toblerone packaging. Because Toblerone have moved their production outside of Switzerland, they can no longer use Swiss iconography or terminology. They also no longer mark the packaging as "Swiss milk chocolate" for the same reason.

this is very nice, thumb up and will be doing this, looks really nice.

thx so much! amazing tutorial!

The site is a bit janky. It didn't support some locations. also had trouble loading the maps.

Thanks man for amassing guide

WOW! nice Video!

Your video markers are wrong, but thank you for the tutorial, it was helpful!

Instead of cutting, make a boolean operation with a cube you don't have to close your buildings ;) And extrude on Z, just type E and then Z and you can move your mouse, it only extrude on Z.

Omg i cant thank you enough for this

THANK YOU DUDE!!!

super cool video. thanks :)

Thanks for the video.

Thank you for sharing! Does anyone know how to cut out the waterways? I was thinking that I could select the waterways and extrude them downward. However, the waterways are shown in the format of lines. Solidifying them and extruding downward does not capture the coastline clearly.

Nice video and thanks for linking the pages. Unfortunately touch-mapper only says „search failed: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT“. Seems like the page is not allowed to use the source anymore.

Very nice tutorial! Sadly, the interesting monuments like cologne cathedral are just a monstrous cube - the data imported into blender as well as used by touch mapper are not detailed enough...

Great video. I am looking on how to do this for lakes showing the depth of lakes. Do you know if this can be done? Thank you

This is so great! Different options, software, love it! … also, how do you get such beautiful Timelapse with your A1 printer. I’ve always wanted to make cool Timelapse with my A1 mini! Thanks!

No mater what i do, the model isn't manifold. Even with the "make manifold" add on in blender it shows all the building bases as non-manifold

Thanks for video. Don't get what is benefit to print on its side?

¡Gracias!

Is there a reason it would only elevate some buildings and not others in Blender? The one building I need is still flat while others around it are elevated. Thanks for the great tutorial.

Very cool! Would you do a tutorial on how to make it multicolor?

When using Touch map I keep getting "OVER_QUERY_LIMIT" errors

Error: All(!) elevation values are 0.0! This may happen if the DEM source does not cover the selected area.

Great video! Thanks... How long does the larger cityscape take to print on the A1 please?

Is it true you can only download parts of the US? I'm from the Netherlands and the site gives me a message that Google Maps isnt able to load...? Very cool video tho! Would love tot try this with the city I live in :)

Nice vid! If i want put led?with fusion how could I empty the mountain in the first example?

cool~!!!!

is there coverage for other parts of the world? only seems to support USA?

I just tried TouchTerrain and it told me "This page can't load Google Maps correctly." Then I tried to search for my town and it says "No results for Orlando Florida, please try a different search (be more specific?)"

Using that touch terrain, do you know of a way to add overlays? Specifically I'd love to add ski trails that are present in google maps.

Hi, I tried to open touch terrain, after clicking on the home screen, the message was shown "Google Maps cannot be loaded correctly on this page." Does anyone have any idea how I should deal with this?

Thanks or the video . Using touch mapper. I get a cone that shows the location i searched for. Is there anyway to delete it before printing map?

so.detail

how about the file from drone mapping, can be print like this to? i want print like this but from my drone mapping rendering from agisoft, ihope u will give us tutorial, ty

KZfaq app won't let me like this :-(

Unfortunately Google doesn't support 3D buildings in my area. 😢

I'd love to know if anyone has a good way to utilize this to make a DND map. Like a 3d map of Faerun would be so cool to make and my players would go nuts for it!

What kind of extrude are you doing for the roads? When I do it it just allows me to drag the road layers around or up along the Z axis but I don't see any extrusion appearing underneath.

This is very cool but I'm not sure what I would use these for. Suggestions?

error loading MAP getting a message from Google indicating This page can't load Google Maps correctly. Do you own this website? how do you fix this issue

I have an error on the touch-mapper "search failed: OVER_QUERY_LIMIT"

My STL does not appear in Fusion and appears as an elongated grey rectangle in Cura. It loads, appears as a listed object but nothing to show on the work surface. Has anyone else got stuck on this?

what is the paid method? just curious.

Maybe a video of how you clean and lube your z lead screw next? Everyone shows how to lube the xyz rails but nobody shows the lead screw.

i think this video broke their site 😅 just get an error it can't load google maps now

I think you broke the site lol

Does not work "This page can't load Google Maps correctly" Any solution please? Thanks

For Mac users, don't use a Mac 😂
